Potential breaking change in Seafile Pro 8.0.3: You can set the maximum number of files contained in a library that can be synced by the Seafile client. The default is 100000. When you download a repo, Seafile client will request fs id list, and you can control the timeout period of this request through fs_id_list_request_timeout configuration, which defaults to 5 minutes. These two options are added to prevent long fs-id-list requests from overloading the server. If you have large libraries on the server, this can cause "internal server error" returned to the client. You have to set a large enough limit for these two options.

6.3¶

In version 6.3, Django is upgraded to version 1.11. Django 1.8, which is used in version 6.2, is deprecated in 2018 April.

With this upgrade, the fast-cgi mode is no longer supported. You need to config Seafile behind Nginx/Apache in WSGI mode.

The way to run Seahub in another port is also changed. You need to modify the configuration file conf/gunicorn.conf instead of running ./seahub.sh start <another-port>.

Version 6.3 also changed the database table for file comments, if you have used this feature, you need migrate old file comments using the following commends after upgrading to 6.3:

./seahub.sh python-env seahub/manage.py migrate_file_comment

Note, this command should be run while Seafile server is running.

Version 6.3 changed '/shib-login' to '/sso'. If you use Shibboleth, you need to to update your Apache/Nginx config. Please check the updated document: shibboleth config v6.3

Version 6.3 add a new option for file search (seafevents.conf):

[INDEX FILES]
...
highlight = fvh
...

This option will make search speed improved significantly (10x) when the search result contains large pdf/doc files. But you need to rebuild search index if you want to add this option.

6.2¶

From 6.2, It is recommended to use proxy mode for communication between Seahub and Nginx/Apache. Two steps are needed if you'd like to switch to WSGI mode:

Change the config file of Nginx/Apache.
Restart Seahub with ./seahub.sh start instead of ./seahub.sh start-fastcgi

The configuration of Nginx is as following:

location / {
         proxy_pass         http://127.0.0.1:8000;
         proxy_set_header   Host $host;
         proxy_set_header   X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
         proxy_set_header   X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
         proxy_set_header   X-Forwarded-Host $server_name;
         proxy_read_timeout  1200s;

         # used for view/edit office file via Office Online Server
         client_max_body_size 0;

         access_log      /var/log/nginx/seahub.access.log;
         error_log       /var/log/nginx/seahub.error.log;
    }
