Seafile is a cloud-based file sharing and collaboration platform that allows users to store, share, and manage their files from anywhere. This tutorial will walk you through the steps necessary to install Seafile on NetBSD.
Before we can start the installation process for Seafile, we need to install some dependencies that are required for it to run. Open up a terminal and run the following command:
pkgin update
pkgin install gcc libevent libseccomp openssl sqlite3 python27 py27-setuptools py27-pip
Next, we need to download the Seafile installation package. You can download the package from the Seafile website:
wget https://download.seafile.com/d/3575b5d6a5/files/?p=/pro-server_8.0.2_x86-64.tar.gz
Now that we have all the dependencies and the installation package, we can begin the installation process. Extract the tarball by running the following command:
tar zxvf pro-server_8.0.2_x86-64.tar.gz
After extracting the files, we'll need to change into the newly created directory and run the installation script:
cd pro-server-8.0.2/
./setup-seafile.sh
The installation script will prompt you for various settings such as your email address, admin password, database information, and more. Make sure you enter the correct information for your environment.
Once the installation completes successfully, you can start Seafile by running the following command:
./seafile.sh start
./seahub.sh start
These commands will start the Seafile server and the web interface, respectively.
Congratulations! You've successfully installed Seafile on NetBSD.
In this tutorial, we have walked you through the steps necessary to install Seafile on NetBSD. By following these steps, you should now have a working instance of Seafile that you can use to manage your files and collaborate with others.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
