Setup Seafile Server Development Environment¶
The following operations have been tested on ubuntu-16.04.1-desktop-amd64 system.
Install Necessary Packages¶
install necessary packages by apt¶
sudo apt install ssh libevent-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libglib2.0-dev uuid-dev intltool libsqlite3-dev libmysqlclient-dev libarchive-dev libtool libjansson-dev valac libfuse-dev python-dateutil cmake re2c flex sqlite3 python-pip python-simplejson git libssl-dev libldap2-dev libonig-dev
install libevhtp from source¶
cd ~/Downloads/
git clone https://github.com/haiwen/libevhtp.git
cd libevhtp/
cmake -DEVHTP_DISABLE_SSL=ON -DEVHTP_BUILD_SHARED=OFF .
make
sudo make install
sudo ldconfig
Download and Build Seafile¶
create project root directory dev¶
cd
mkdir dev
download and install libsearpc¶
cd ~/dev/
git clone https://github.com/haiwen/libsearpc.git
cd libsearpc/
./autogen.sh
./configure
make
sudo make install
sudo ldconfig
download and install ccnet-server¶
cd ~/dev/
git clone https://github.com/haiwen/ccnet-server.git
cd ccnet-server/
./autogen.sh
./configure --enable-ldap
make
sudo make install
sudo ldconfig
download and install seafile-server¶
cd ~/dev/
git clone https://github.com/haiwen/seafile-server.git
cd seafile-server/
./autogen.sh
./configure
make
sudo make install
download seahub¶
cd ~/dev/
git clone https://github.com/haiwen/seahub.git
cd seahub/
Start ccnet-server and seaf-server¶
Start ccnet-server and seaf-server in two separate terminals.
cd ~/dev/seafile-server/tests
ccnet-server -c conf -f -
cd ~/dev/seafile-server/tests
mkdir -p conf/seafile-data
touch conf/seafile-data/seafile.conf
cat > conf/seafile-data/seafile.conf << EOF
[database]
create_tables = true
EOF
seaf-server -c conf -d conf/seafile-data -f -l -
The config files and databases (if you use sqlite, which is by default) of ccnet-server are located in ~/dev/seafile-server/tests/conf. This directory is called "ccnet conf directory". The config files, databases and data of seaf-server are located in ~/dev/seafile-server/tests/conf/seafile-data. This directory is called "seafile conf directory".
Start seahub¶
Seahub is the web front end of Seafile. It is written in the Django framework, requires Python 2.7 installed on your server.
set environment¶
cd ~/dev/seahub/
cat > setenv.sh << EOF
export CCNET_CONF_DIR=~/dev/seafile-server/tests/conf
export SEAFILE_CONF_DIR=~/dev/seafile-server/tests/conf/seafile-data
export PYTHONPATH=/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages:thirdpart:\$PYTHONPATH
EOF
sudo chmod u+x setenv.sh
install requirements¶
# Expand setenv.sh in the current shell
. setenv.sh
cd ~/dev/seahub/
sudo pip install -r requirements.txt
NOTE: if locale.Error: unsupported locale setting, you should export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
create database and admin account¶
. setenv.sh
python manage.py migrate
python tools/seahub-admin.py # create admin account
NOTE: currently, your ccnet directory is ~/dev/seafile-server/tests/conf
run seahub¶
python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000
then open browser and navigate to http://127.0.0.1:8000
If you have set up Nginx/Apache to run Seafile, you should run seahub in fastcgi mode.
python manage.py runfcgi host=127.0.0.1 port=8000
