Hello,
I am running Seafile on my Raspberry Pi 4B and ran into startup issues today.
Short summary on how I got here:
- Seafile client no longer connected
- nginx was giving a 502 bad gateway (I use a reverse proxy for https)
- direct local connection also did not work
- found out my mounted external HDD stopped working on which the seafile-data is located
- some reboots and manual mounting later that was resolved
- SeaHub no longer wanted to start (v7.1.5)
- After failing to fix it, tried to upgrade to 8.0.3.
- The upgrade script returned succesfully
- SeaHub still fails to start, but due to a different issue
That is the point I am at now.
Error:

May 27 17:55:47 rpi-server systemd[1]: Failed to start Seafile.
In order to run some other services on my PI, I have a manually compiled python 3.9 version besides 3.7 and 2.7.
I checked and made sure that the users root, pi and seafile all have python3.7 when using the python3 command or pip3 command. I made sure that those also have all the required packages installed that are mentioned in the upgrade notes.
I also already installed
apt install libmariadbclient-dev
instead of the one mentioned in the notes since I am running debian 10.
Looking at the output above, seafile is still running somehow using python3.9. I have no clue if this even is an issue, I even made sure all the packages are installed in that python version as well.
I am completely at a loss. Hopefully someone can help.
Please let me know if I have to provide more information.
Thanks.
