Setup With Alibaba OSS¶
Prepare¶
To setup Seafile Professional Server with Alibaba OSS:
- Setup the basic Seafile Professional Server following the guide on Download and setup Seafile Professional Server
- Install the python
oss2library:sudo pip install oss2==2.3.0.For more installation help, please refer to this document. - Install and configure memcached. For best performance, Seafile requires install memcached and enable memcache for objects. We recommend to allocate 128MB memory for memcached. Edit /etc/memcached.conf
# Start with a cap of 64 megs of memory. It's reasonable, and the daemon default
# Note that the daemon will grow to this size, but does not start out holding this much
# memory
# -m 64
-m 128
Modify Seafile.conf¶
Edit seafile.conf, add the following lines:
[commit_object_backend]
name = oss
bucket = <your-seafile-commits-bucket>
key_id = <your-key-id>
key = <your-key>
region = beijing
[fs_object_backend]
name = oss
bucket = <your-seafile-fs-bucket>
key_id = <your-key-id>
key = <your-key>
region = beijing
[block_backend]
name = oss
bucket = <your-seafile-blocks-bucket>
key_id = <your-key-id>
key = <your-key>
region = beijing
[memcached]
memcached_options = --SERVER=localhost --POOL-MIN=10 --POOL-MAX=100
It's recommended to create separate buckets for commit, fs, and block objects.For performance and to save network traffic costs, you should create buckets within the region where the seafile server is running.
The key_id and key are required to authenticate you to OSS. You can find the key_id and key in the "security credentials" section on your OSS management page.
The region is the region where the bucket you created is located, such as beijing, hangzhou, shenzhen, etc.
Use OSS in VPC¶
Before version 6.0.9, Seafile only supports using OSS services in the classic network environment. The OSS service address in the VPC (Virtual Private Network) environment is different from the classic network, so you need to specify the OSS access address in the configuration environment. After version 6.0.9, it supports the configuration of OSS access addresses, thus adding the support for VPC OSS services.
Use the following configuration:
[commit_object_backend]
name = oss
bucket = <your-seafile-commits-bucket>
key_id = <your-key-id>
key = <your-key>
endpoint = vpc100-oss-cn-beijing.aliyuncs.com
[fs_object_backend]
name = oss
bucket = <your-seafile-fs-bucket>
key_id = <your-key-id>
key = <your-key>
endpoint = vpc100-oss-cn-beijing.aliyuncs.com
[block_backend]
name = oss
bucket = <your-seafile-blocks-bucket>
key_id = <your-key-id>
key = <your-key>
endpoint = vpc100-oss-cn-beijing.aliyuncs.com
[memcached]
memcached_options = --SERVER=localhost --POOL-MIN=10 --POOL-MAX=100
Compared with the configuration under the classic network, the above configuration uses the endpoint option to replace the region option. The corresponding endpoint address can be found at https://www.alibabacloud.com/help/en/object-storage-service/latest/regions-and-endpoints.
endpoint is a general option, you can also set it to the OSS access address under the classic network, and it will work as well.
