Announcement

Hi Barolo, wanted to thank you again for your support, all works well now!

Just needed a fresh Ubuntu 22.04 install before applying your workaround (permissions were somehow messed up on previous install).

If anyone is interested, here the steps:

  1. Install Ubuntu Server 22.04 LTS (incl. LAMP stack)

  2. Install the database (e.g. MySQL) and create the ccnet, seafile & seahub databases

  3. Install dependencies for Seafile 9.0.5 & Ubuntu Server 22.04:

    sudo apt install python3 python3-{setuptools,pip} libmysqlclient-dev memcached libmemcached-dev libffi-dev

  4. Install Python modules for Seafile 9.0.5 & Ubuntu Server 22.04:

    sudo pip3 install django==3.2.* Pillow pylibmc captcha jinja2 sqlalchemy==1.4.3 django-pylibmc django-simple-captcha python3-ldap mysqlclient pycryptodome==3.12.0

  5. Download & install Seafile Server 9.0.5

  6. Install the package cffi 1.14.6 in the thirdpart folder, as suggested by Barolo:

    sudo pip3 install --force-reinstall --upgrade --target <SOMEPATH>/seafile-server-9.0.5/seahub/thirdpart cffi==1.14.6

  7. Run the installation script:

    ./<SOMEPATH>/seafile-server-9.0.5/setup-seafile-mysql.sh

  8. Start Seafile Server & Seahub with ./seafile.sh and ./seahub.sh scripts

Remark: if you install Seafile Server/Python modules as user and not as root, make sure to set the right directory permissions
