Hi all!
I am writing here in hopes of getting help because my Seafile/SeaDrive setup seems to sync very slowly. When I say slow, I actually mean that a single file is syncing only every two seconds or so. Syncing one big file actually is as fast as it should be (limited by bandwidth, I guess)
I also should say that my server hardware is definitely not at fault. I have a 4x4TB SSD raid with I/O speeds of 1-2GB/s and the CPU is usually at around 2-5%.
Here’s my setup:
Seafile server installed via docker containers. The Seafile stack shares a network with the reverse proxy stack. In this reverse proxy stack, I have a cloudflare tunnel and nginx proxy manager running. The tunnel points at the nginx where also TLS termination happens. nginx the forwards an http request.
Please note that I need to tunnel as otherwise I do not have access to my server. On the client side I run SeaDrive on macOS 14.4 on both my M1 Pro MacBook Pro and my Intel iMac Pro.
What I have done is copying all files on the Macs to the SeaDrive folder to let it start syncing.
Now I am not certain where to start looking for the problem even as the speed issue I have is rather limited to the number of files seadrive syncs at a given time. It really seems SeaDrive syncs a file, no matter its size, only every 2-3 seconds.
I’d be greatful for any hints on where to start looking for a solution as at this rate, Seafile/SeaDrive is completely unusable.
