But, seafile.ini does not exist in a mysql/mariadb configuration. Previously, on my old server, changing the data directory as you mentioned in Option 2 was no problem. It was just a simple matter of changing the seafile.ini setting… I have considered using a soft/hard link, but which folder? I’m new to mysql/mariadb and I have no idea where the actual data/repos would be stored. Are they stored in mysql/maridb folders, such as /var/lib/mysql, or in the seafile-date folder under the Seafile installation folder?
Plus, there is no data so far. I have not yet started Seafile for the very first time.
