I am having a few issues with the installation and setup of SeaFile, so I have now tried using the Haiwen setup to go through and get this going.
The only issue that I am finding now is that seahub itself won’t start and when looking at the logs I am getting that it is saying that it can’t start.
When checking the log file I can see this:
2023-10-23 12:33:48,109 [INFO] seafevents.db:62 create_engine_from_conf [seafevents] database: mysql, name: seahub_db
2023-10-23 12:38:35,416 [INFO] seafevents.db:62 create_engine_from_conf [seafevents] database: mysql, name: seahub_db
2023-10-23 12:40:00,292 [INFO] seafevents.db:62 create_engine_from_conf [seafevents] database: mysql, name: seahub_db
I have gone through and I can’t see any files within the ccnet folder, nor can I see any other DB files, but this folder has been empty through manual installations as well (please let me know if I am looking in the wrong place).
I would be more than happy to share the script used, and/or any other logs that are required (or do a clean-wipe and a manual setup that is going to work!).
I am currently in the mix between this and FileCloud and due to not being able to get this going I am tempted to go ahead with FileCloud (the main reason for these 2 options are the native support for mapping the drives directly to the machines themselves).
type “sudo su root” (if you don’t have root setup yet then do sudo passwd root and set one)
Once logged into root please type “cd /root”
(Anything from here are just going to be commands)
wget RAW GITHUB SCRIPT (I am unable to put links here)
(you will need to replace the " (.) " with just a “.” for the link to work
bash seafile-11.0_ubuntu 11.0.1
The script works by generating a username/password and if you have pre-existing services or have already run the script once, you will either have to re-build your Ubuntu Instance or see below.
wget ### (Get download link by right clicking on the download that you would like from the downloads page)
tar xf seafile-server-###.tar.gz
cd sealfile-server-###
./setup-seafile-mysql.sh

MySQL Server Port: {LEAVE BLANK} (Unless you have changed this)
MySQL Root Password:
6.1. If you have already run the script, please find this in your /root folder under .my.cnf
6.2. If you have an existing service, please use the previously set password
MySQL User: Leave Blank (Default: Seafile)
MySQL Password for Seafile User:

cd /opt/seafile/conf
nano seahub_settings.py
change the SERVICE_URL to be your IP address with “:8000” on the end (i.e. 1.2.3.4:8000/
Ctrl + X, Enter, Y, Enter
nano gunicorn.conf.py
Change the BIND to “0.0.0.0:8000”
cd /opt/seafile/seafile-server-latest
./seafile.sh start
./seahub.sh start
After this, all you will need to do is open a Web Browser and then go to the IP address of your server to access the admin panel.
If you have any further questions, please feel free to reply or email me on mitchw@kwgroup.uk.
