Seafile community restrictions?

Seafile Server
1

Hello,

Currently having to back up several tera.

I would like to know restrictions about seafile community editions:

  • number of sync clients allowed
  • max clients (web or sync)
  • max file or directory size
  • max file or directory number
  • possibility to use gallera cluster
  • possibility to use memcache (or redis)
  • possibility or not to cluster servers …

Does not have any budget for the moment (have to wait a year to move to pro edition)
Perhaps my best bet is to install several servers

Regards,

Stephane

Hi Stephane,

  • seafile community is not limited to clients, files, directory or storage.
  • also memcache could be used on seafile community.
  • as far as I know it is also possible to use a gallera cluster as long as you use a load balancer like haproxy to access the database-cluster
  • but it is NOT possible to build a seafile cluster with seafile community.
    Best regards

I remember a post here stating Max files in one library. Please recheck that

I guess you are referring to Daniel’s post about a file number limit of 100.000 in one library.

Three things (@shoeper: thanks for point out that this is not a technical limit) :
1.) This is a recommendation, not a limit.
2.) This is a general recommendation, not a recommendation for CE.
3.) The recommendation applies only to a single library, the Seafile server is not file number limited.

Also that is no limit he just recommended to not add more than 100k files to a library. I have a library with 246k files which works fine for a few years now and is heavily changed from time to time.

Need feedback or best practice, limit local storage

There’s no file search available in the Web UI on the community edition

Glad, you mention it … again. :slight_smile:

Isn’t there a limit of 50 Drive clients in CE or was that removed?
