Migrate from Seafile Community Server¶
Restriction¶
It's quite likely you have deployed the Seafile Community Server and want to switch to the Professional Server, or vice versa. But there are some restrictions:
- You can only switch between Community Server and Professional Server of the same minor version.
That means, if you are using Community Server version 9.0, and want to switch to the Professional Server 10.0, you must first upgrade to Community Server version 10.0, and then follow the guides below to switch to the Professional Server 10.0. (The last tiny version number in 10.0.x is not important.)
Preparation¶
Install poppler-utils¶
The package poppler-utils is required for full text search of pdf files.
On Ubuntu/Debian:
sudo apt-get install poppler-utils
On CentOS/Red Hat:
sudo yum install poppler-utils
Do the migration¶
We assume you already have deployed Seafile Community Server 10.0.0 under /opt/seafile/seafile-server-10.0.0
.
Get the license¶
If the license you received is not named as seafile-license.txt, rename it to seafile-license.txt. Then put the license file under the top level diretory. In our example, it is /opt/seafile/
.
Download & uncompress Seafile Professional Server¶
You should uncompress the tarball to the top level directory of your installation, in our example it is /opt/seafile
.
tar xf seafile-pro-server_10.0.0_x86-64_Ubuntu.tar.gz
Now you have:
seafile
├── seafile-license.txt
├── seafile-pro-server-10.0.0/
├── seafile-server-10.0.0/
├── ccnet/
├── seafile-data/
├── seahub-data/
└── conf/
└── logs/
You should notice the difference between the names of the Community Server and Professional Server. Take the 10.0.0 64bit version as an example:
- Seafile Community Server tarball is
seafile-server_10.0.0_x86-64_Ubuntu.tar.gz
; After uncompressing, the folder isseafile-server-10.0.0
- Seafile Professional Server tarball is
seafile-pro-server_10.0.0_x86-64_Ubuntu.tar.gz
; After uncompressing, the folder isseafile-pro-server-10.0.0
Do the migration¶
- Stop Seafile Community Server if it's running
cd haiwen/seafile-server-10.0.0
./seafile.sh stop
./seahub.sh stop
- Run the migration script
cd haiwen/seafile-pro-server-10.0.0/
./pro/pro.py setup --migrate
The migration script is going to do the following for you:
- ensure your have all the prerequisites met
- create necessary extra configurations
- update the avatar directory
- create extra database tables
Now you have:
haiwen
├── seafile-license.txt
├── seafile-pro-server-10.0.0/
├── seafile-server-10.0.0/
├── ccnet/
├── seafile-data/
├── seahub-data/
├── seahub.db
├── seahub_settings.py
└── pro-data/
Start Seafile Professional Server¶
cd haiwen/seafile-pro-server-10.0.0
./seafile.sh start
./seahub.sh start
Switch Back to Community Server¶
- Stop Seafile Professional Server if it's running
cd haiwen/seafile-pro-server-10.0.0/
./seafile.sh stop
./seahub.sh stop
- Update the avatar directory link just like in Maintenance Upgrade
cd haiwen/seafile-server-10.0.0/
./upgrade/minor-upgrade.sh
- Start Seafile Community Server
cd haiwen/seafile-server-10.0.0/
./seafile.sh start
./seahub.sh start
