I’m not sure it works on v8, but on earlier versions you could use ./seahub.sh start-fastcgi to get a more verbose output. (I know that fastcgi is no longer in use, still, that was always a first step for me when I didn’t get any output.)
Maybe it’s worth a try for you.

Did you install mysqlclient?
Error:Seahub failed to start.
You’re right heini, the command “pip3 install mysqlclient” is required. But I had many error messages when I tried.
I restarted the install from scratch, and just before that I had to install libmysqlclient-dev (apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev).
