I’m trying a fresh install, last time I tried it was many years ago…
Anyway: I’m following this, since I can’t find any recent guide.
My OS: ubuntu 20 on virtualbox.
I installed prerequisites:
apt install nginx maria-db python python-{pip,pil,ldap,urllib3,setuptools,mysqldb,memcache,requests} libpython3.6 ffmpeg
I created the user and the 3 dbs needed correctly.
downloaded the latest seafile server tarball and started setup with setup-seafile-mysql.sh inserted all data correctly, as a test installation I setup internal lan IP as the server’s address.
All is run as user “marco”.
After starting seafile.sh (OK), seahub.sh ask me for admin email and then fails to start
Here is the output:
$ ./setup-seafile-mysql.sh

Am I missing something?
From what you’ve posted, you’re missing:
For Seafile 7.1.x
# on Debian 10/Ubuntu 18.04
apt-get update
apt-get install python3 python3-setuptools python3-pip -y
pip3 install --timeout=3600 Pillow pylibmc captcha jinja2 sqlalchemy django-pylibmc django-simple-captcha python3-ldap
(https://download.seafile.com/published/seafile-manual/deploy/using_mysql.md)
Also, the guide you’re using mentions libpython3.8 instead of 3.6 for Ubuntu 20.04.
Another way to get more information is using
./seahub.sh start-fastcgi
While fastcgi is discontinued, this gives you more details on what’s going wrong.
this gives me a lot of errors!

You need to install libmemcached-dev sudo apt install libmemcached-dev (Ubuntu – File list of package libmemcached-dev/focal/amd64 - here you can see that this will give you the memcached.h which is required.)
