This is the document for deploying Seafile open source development environment in Ubuntu 2204 docker container.

Run a container

docker run -it -p 8000:8000 -p 8082:8082 -p 3000:3000 --name seafile-ce-env ubuntu:22.04 bash

Note, the following commands are all executed in the seafile-ce-env docker container.

Install MariaDB and Create Databases

apt-get install -y mariadb-server
service mysql start
mysqladmin -u root password 123456

sql for create databases

create database ccnet charset utf8;
create database seafile charset utf8;
create database seahub charset utf8;

Start seaf-server

seaf-server -c /root/dev/conf -d /root/dev/seafile-data -D all -f -l - &

Start seahub

Prepare environment variables

cd ~/dev/source-code/seahub/

export PYTHONPATH=/usr/local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/:/root/dev/source-code/seahub/thirdpart:$PYTHONPATH
export CCNET_CONF_DIR=/root/dev/conf
export SEAFILE_CONF_DIR=/root/dev/seafile-data
export SEAFILE_CENTRAL_CONF_DIR=/root/dev/conf

Create seahub database tables

python3 manage.py migrate

Create user

python3 manage.py createsuperuser

Start seahub

python3 manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000

Then, you can visit http://127.0.0.1:8000/ to use Seafile.

Deploy Frontend Development Environment

For deploying frontend development enviroment, you need:

1, checkout seahub to master branch

cd /root/dev/source-code/seahub

git fetch origin master:master
git checkout master

2, add the following configration to /root/dev/conf/seahub_settings.py

import os
PROJECT_ROOT = '/root/dev/source-code/seahub'
WEBPACK_LOADER = {
    'DEFAULT': {
        'BUNDLE_DIR_NAME': 'frontend/',
        'STATS_FILE': os.path.join(PROJECT_ROOT,
                                   'frontend/webpack-stats.dev.json'),
    }
}
DEBUG = True

3, install js modules

cd /root/dev/source-code/seahub/frontend

npm install

4, npm run dev

cd /root/dev/source-code/seahub/frontend

npm run dev

5, start seaf-server and seahub
