<i class="fa fa-server"></i>Seafile
|
|
----------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
This is a backend for the [Seafile](https://www.seafile.com/) storage service.
|
|
It works with both the free community edition, or the professional edition.
|
|
Seafile versions 6.x and 7.x are all supported.
|
|
Encrypted libraries are also supported.
|
|
|
|
### Root mode vs Library mode ###
|
|
|
|
There are two distinct modes you can setup your remote:
|
|
- you point your remote to the **root of the server**, meaning you don't specify a library during the configuration:
|
|
Paths are specified as `remote:library`. You may put subdirectories in too, eg `remote:library/path/to/dir`.
|
|
- you point your remote to a specific library during the configuration:
|
|
Paths are specified as `remote:path/to/dir`. **This is the recommended mode when using encrypted libraries**.
|
|
|
|
### Configuration in root mode ###
|
|
|
|
Here is an example of making a seafile configuration. First run
|
|
|
|
rclone config
|
|
|
|
This will guide you through an interactive setup process. To authenticate
|
|
you will need the URL of your server, your email (or username) and your password.
|
|
|
|

This remote is called `seafile`. It's pointing to the root of your seafile server and can now be used like this
|
|
|
|
See all libraries
|
|
|
|
rclone lsd seafile:
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
rclone mkdir seafile:library
|
|
|
|
List the contents of a library
|
|
|
|
rclone ls seafile:library
|
|
|
|
Sync `/home/local/directory` to the remote library, deleting any
|
|
excess files in the library.
|
|
|
|
rclone sync /home/local/directory seafile:library

Remote config
|
|
--------------------
|
|
[seafile]
|
|
type = seafile
|
|
url = http://my.seafile.server/
|
|
user = me@example.com
|
|

```
|
|
|
|
You specified `My Library` during the configuration. The root of the remote is pointing at the
|
|
root of the library `My Library`:
|
|
|
|
See all files in the library:
|
|
|
|
rclone lsd seafile:
|
|
|
|
Create a new directory inside the library
|
|
|
|
rclone mkdir seafile:directory
|
|
|
|
List the contents of a directory
|
|
|
|
rclone ls seafile:directory
|
|
|
|
Sync `/home/local/directory` to the remote library, deleting any
|
|
excess files in the library.
|
|
|
|
rclone sync /home/local/directory seafile:
|
|
|
|
|
|
### --fast-list ###
|
|
|
|
Seafile version 7+ supports `--fast-list` which allows you to use fewer
|
|
transactions in exchange for more memory. See the [rclone
|
|
docs](/docs/#fast-list) for more details.
|
|
Please note this is not supported on seafile server version 6.x
|
|
|
|
|
|
#### Restricted filename characters
|
|
|
|
In addition to the [default restricted characters set](/overview/#restricted-characters)
|
|
the following characters are also replaced:
|
|
|
|
| Character | Value | Replacement |
|
|
| --------- |:-----:|:-----------:|
|
|
| / | 0x2F | ／ |
|
|
| " | 0x22 | ＂ |
|
|
| \ | 0x5C | ＼ |
|
|
|
|
Invalid UTF-8 bytes will also be [replaced](/overview/#invalid-utf8),
|
|
as they can't be used in JSON strings.
|
|
|
|
### Seafile and rclone link ###
|
|
|
|
Rclone supports generating share links for non-encrypted libraries only.
|
|
They can either be for a file or a directory:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
rclone link seafile:seafile-tutorial.doc
|
|
http://my.seafile.server/f/fdcd8a2f93f84b8b90f4/
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
or if run on a directory you will get:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
rclone link seafile:dir
|
|
http://my.seafile.server/d/9ea2455f6f55478bbb0d/
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Please note a share link is unique for each file or directory. If you run a link command on a file/dir
|
|
that has already been shared, you will get the exact same link.
|
|
|
|
### Compatibility ###
|
|
|
|
It has been actively tested using the [seafile docker image](https://github.com/haiwen/seafile-docker) of these versions:
|
|
- 6.3.4 community edition
|
|
- 7.0.5 community edition
|
|
- 7.1.3 community edition
|
|
|
|
Versions below 6.0 are not supported.
|
|
Versions between 6.0 and 6.3 haven't been tested and might not work properly.
