Migrate from 7.1.5 to 8.0.3#

1. Check version, Stop
2. Download, gunzip *, tar xvf *
   
3. extract and copy, run script (start upgrade scripts from base folder, not inside upgrade folder!

cp seafile-server-8.0.3 /markus/seafile
cd /markus/seafile/seafile-server-8.0.3
./upgrade/upgrade_7.1_8.0.sh

Config (17.02.2021)#

See Seafile admin manualConfig Seahub with Apache at "Modify ccnet.conf and seahub_setting.py"
Seafile > WebInterface > Avatar-Icon > Steam Administration > Settings

SERVICE_URL = https://www.inetone.de:444
FILE_SERVER_ROOT = https://www.inetone.de:444/seafhttp

Though the docu tells "if you set the value both via Web UI and config file, the setting via Web UI will take precedence", I edited the config files, too:
vi .../conf/seahub_settings.py

# add following
FILE_SERVER_ROOT = 'https://www.inetone.de:444/seafhttp'

# change
SERVICE_URL = https://www.inetone.de:444

Note: When you change service URLs clean your browser cache or hard reload each page !
It takes a some seconds until the new settings come into effect even if the seafile has started already, so keep reloading in case!

For Apache there is a proxy config.
vi /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default-le-ssl.conf

Clean up databases?

mysql -u <user> -p
    DROP DATABASE `ccnet-db`;
    DROP DATABASE `seafile-db`;

Note: Seafile 7.1.x will NOT work with Debian 9 because some required packages are not available there.
You will find error django.request:135 handle_uncaught_exception Internal Server Error at seafileHome\logs\seahub.log !

Problem Android "Unknown Server Status"#

This seems to be a device ID problem in the source code.

See ./seafile-server-latest/seahub/seahub/api2/serializers.py

Upgrade#

on 12.01.2017 from 4.05. to 6.0.7, see manual

1. cd /markus/seafile
2. stop old one
3. here you download the lastest server version
Note: you have here als folder ccnet and seafile-data
After gunzip and tar you have a new folder seafile-server-6.0.7
4. cd seafile-server-6.0.7
5. ls -l upgrade
Here you need to call all steps, e.g.
upgrade_4.0_4.1.sh
upgrade_4.1_4.2.sh
...
But NOT from inside folder, but one above, so
upgrade/upgrade_4.0_4.1.sh
upgrade/upgrade_4.1_4.2.sh
...
6. All upgrade set a new symlink to seafile-server-6.0.7
7. cd seafile-server-6.0.7
8. start like above, done

Migrate to new server#

1. Stop services
2. Download and install latest version (as of Mar 2017 it was 6.0.8), follow manual
   1. create mysql databases create database ccnet-db default character set 'UTF8'; create database seafile-db default character set 'UTF8'; create database seahub-db default character set 'UTF8';
   2. create mysql seafile user create user 'seafile'@'localhost' identified by 'seafile'; GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON `ccnet-db`.* to `seafile`@localhost; GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON `seafile-db`.* to `seafile`@localhost; GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON `seahub-db`.* to `seafile`@localhost; SET PASSWORD FOR 'seafile'@'localhost' = PASSWORD('...your.password...');
3. clean and copy folders ccnet, conf, seafile-data
4. maybe: update SERVER_URL in /conf/ccnet.conf
5. old versions of seafile used folder "data" and not "seafile-data" as data storage, update folder in /ccnet/seafile.ini
6. export, copy, import database mysqldump -u root -p<password> ccnet-db > /home/proftpd/ccnet-db.sql mysqldump -u root -p<password> seafile-db > /home/proftpd/seafile-db.sql mysqldump -u root -p<password> seahub-db > /home/proftpd/seahub-db.sql mysql -u root -p<password> ccnet-db < /home/proftpd/ccnet-db.sql mysql -u root -p<password> seafile-db < /home/proftpd/seafile-db.sql mysql -u root -p<password> seahub-db < /home/proftpd/seahub-db.sql
7. Delete cache rm -rf /tmp/seahub_cache
8. Update mysql config in /conf/seahub_settings.py to 'init_command': 'SET default_storage_engine=INNODB',
9. Start services
