Seafile is a free and open source cloud storage solution that allows you to store, synchronize and share files across multiple devices. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation of Seafile on Ubuntu Server Latest.
Before installing Seafile, you will need to install Python 2.7, Python-setuptools, Python-imaging, and MySQL Server.
To install these dependencies, run the following command:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install python2.7 python-setuptools python-imaging mysql-server
Download the latest version of Seafile from the official website using wget:
wget https://download.seafile.com/d/6f314c1641/files/?p=/pro/seafile-pro-server_8.0.3_x86-64.tar.gz
The above command will download the Seafile Pro Server version 8.0.3. You can replace the version number with the latest version available.
Extract the downloaded package using the following command:
tar -xzvf seafile-pro-server_8.0.3_x86-64.tar.gz
After extracting the downloaded package, move the contents to a directory named seafile in your home directory:
mkdir ~/seafile
mv seafile-server-8.0.3/* ~/seafile/
cd ~/seafile/
Now, run the following command to configure the Seafile installation:
./setup-seafile-mysql.sh
The script will prompt you for some details, such as the MySQL root password, the Seafile admin email, and password. Enter these details when prompted.
Once the installation process is complete, start the Seafile service by running the following commands:
./seafile.sh start
./seahub.sh start
Seafile should now be up and running on your server.
If you have a firewall enabled on your server, you will need to open ports 8000 and 8082 for Seafile.
sudo ufw allow 8000/tcp
sudo ufw allow 8082/tcp
You can access the Seafile web interface by visiting your server's IP address on port 8000 using a web browser.
http://SERVER_IP_ADDRESS:8000/
Login to the Seafile web interface using the admin email and password you specified during the installation process.
In this tutorial, we have successfully installed Seafile on Ubuntu Server Latest. You can now use Seafile to store, synchronize, and share files across multiple devices.
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!
