Seafile Docker

Seafile docker image for easy and fast setup, built on the awesome work by foxel and gip-recia. See their repos in credits.

Quickstart

• Use the provided docker-compose.yml configuration. You should change environment variables as needed.
• Start the services with docker compose up -d
• Check the logs: docker compose logs -f. The setup should be complete once you see that
  • Mysql db is listening for incoming connections
  • Seafile "Successfully created seafile admin"
• Connect to http://localhost and login with provided ADMIN_EMAIL and ADMIN_PASSWORD values.

⚠️ Think about using secrets to protect your variables, or at the very least, a .env file.

Environment variables

• MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD (or MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWD, MARIADB_ROOT_PASSWORD)
