Seafile Client - Start on OSX "as service"

GITchristoph · October 19, 2018, 6:21pm

Hi

Is it possible to start the seafile client on OSX in a way, that it starts during the startup of the computer?
Without the requirement to Login in to a user account?

Same as the seafile-server starts on my headless Ubuntu Server, without any login requirement.

Hi.

Maybe you could use the console client of seafile, and create a daemon that manage it ?

A guess (as I don’t own a Mac):

choose a type of service : Daemons and Services Programming Guide
I would choose the “Launch Daemons” kind
follow those guidelines for creating a script daemon: Creating Launch Daemons and Agents
