Docker is becoming the de-facto standard of shipping server softwares, and now and then we are asked the question “Do you support running seafile server in docker?”. We believe docker can make it much easier to deploy a Seafile server on your servers and keep it updated. Now it is ready for testing.
Using docker, you can get a seafile sever up and running with only a few minutes. Letsencrypt verification is also done automatically if you want.
Getting Started
Please follow the getting started section in the README.
Current Limitations
Doesn’t support Seafile Pro Server yet
Roadmap
Support Seafile Pro Server
Special Thanks
Lots the design of seafile-docker is borrowed from the excellent discourse-docker project (this forum is powered by discourse and we really enjoy using it). Thanks for their insipiration!
Okay, that’s something I’m not aware of. The official docker images are all for x86_64, and IIUC you need to build dedicated images for arm architecture. The Dockerfile for seafile image is quite straight forward, and I think we can leave the rpi+docker support to the community.
As mentioned above, this isn’t true - ResinOS for example has published prebuilt disk images for Raspberry Pi and a whole bunch of other platforms too, all with Docker pre-bundled, expressly built to run Docker on non-x86 platforms. Docker for smaller machines is a pretty quickly growing corner right now (disclaimer: I work for Resin.io, building a docker-based IoT platform, so I might be a bit biased there). I’ve got a raspberry pi at home running Docker to more easily manage and host Kodi though for example, it’s a good model.
Anyway, I’m super interested in this running this myself on a raspberry pi too @saljut7 - let me know if you get anywhere (or if you want any help!)
I have a question. How can I change the /shared docker volume to another location instead of /var/seafile/shared ? To something like /media/sdb/shared .
I’m assuming I would have to edit the launcher if I am not mistaken?
Mahalo.
Edit: Disregard I found it. I made a change to the launcher sharedir=/media/sdb/shared
I got the hint from seafile sales department to use docker instead to run a vm on my asustor NAS Server.
I was able to download the Image, but don’t know now I have to do to get a running docker VM.
When call the Image in UI for docker I have several things which I can setup or have to setup.
Here are some Screesnhots, maybe some one can describe what I have to do.
I developed a similar container in this GitHub project: https://github.com/stonemaster/docker-seafile-server
The container supports automatic updates and has a focus on an easy setup experience. Raspberry Pi isn’t supported as of yet but pull requests are always welcome!
