otkurbiz / docker-seafile Goto Github PK

This project is about creating a set of Docker containers to run a Seafile service.

Note: only seems to be working on a Linux host at the moment. If you are a Mac user and get it to work, please do tell me.

Unfortunately, this breaks every now and then with a new Seafile release, because of the really unfortunate and fragile way Seafile needs to be installed. I will fix it whenever I realize that is the case, but the setup process might be broken at any time.

The setup consists of a data-only container, which encapsulates all volumes for all containers in order to make the configuration of the related data storage easier.

• MariaDB as backend database
• nginx as web-server frontend
  • install script creates self-signed certificates if not present
  • preconfigured to only allow https
  • preconfigured webdav
• configurable cron-job for garbage collection
• configurable cron-job for backup
• option to use either the community version, or the professional one (although the latter only has basic support at the moment)

• Configure/Install
• Manual

For this quickstart to work, you need to have Docker, v 1.4+ and Docker compose, v 1.1+ installed. Also, you need to add the line:

127.0.0.1     localhost.home

to the file /etc/hosts. Use localhost.home as the hostname when asked, and answer the rest of the questions according to the config section here.

git clone https://github.com/makkus/docker-seafile.git
cd docker-seafile
sudo ./first-time-setup.sh

<enter admin email and password>

firefox https://localhost.home/seafile
(accept insecure host cert when browser warns)

• make sure backup & upgrade scripts work, which they probably do not, fix if necessary
• scripts to restore from backup
• more configuration options upfront
• configurable cron jobs
• configurable backup scripts
• remove old backups
• revisit/simplify services/runit start files
• add memcached
• better support for pro version
