![]() ![]() Internal IP address of Raspberry Pi: 192.168.1.42 Note: This is mainly a merge of Jan Karres’s blog post (in German) and the official wiki documentation from Seafile. If you can read German, you can also follow the excellent instructions on Jan Karres’s blog Raspberry Pi: Owncloud-Alternative Seafile Server installieren.Īs there are some pitfalls along the way, I’ll describe how I installed Seafile with SSL support. Installing Seafile should be straightforward from following the instructions at the official Seafile Wiki. As Debian is a widely used Linux distribution, most problems can be easily solved by searching the web. Furthermore, the Rasperry Pi can be setup with Debian GNU/Linux (f. Using a Raspberry Pi for the server seems like a good choice, because it has very low power consumption, so you can have it running 24/7. I choose Seafile over Owncloud because I have read multiple posts that (1) Owncloud is not very responsive an a Raspberry Pi and (2) Seafile has a better security model (see 1, 2, 3). So, here’s a post on how to install Seafile on the Raspberry Pi. mp4 file took 7 seconds to upload, and 11 seconds to download, tested using two Mint 17.3 desktops, one for upload, 2nd for download.With all the security issues in the past relating to privacy I’ve been wanting to install a private cloud service similar to Dropbox for some time now. We have been using OwnCloud on Nethserver now for about 3 months and it is very stable, upload/download of files from desktops is quick - a 244MB. NethServer includes a one-click install of OwnCloud, (see here: ) and with the NethServer community, if things went wrong, there is excellent help available. We did look at using others,(cloud versions) like DropBox, Google+, etc, but wanted something that we can control, and could be placed on our own hardware. Pydio was not suitable for some users, and OwnCloud we thought was better than Seafile for sync. Our main function though is to have a file store where we and our customers can upload/download files, using desktops, tablets, etc. We find it integrates easily and sync with the calendar function in Thunderbird/Lightning. only a filecloud-server, no contact or calendar sync!, but this is a clear desicion from the developers, there are enough groupware server on the market (imho)Ĭomparison webinterface (also workplace for admin):Īt this location, we use OwnCloud application on the in-house NethServer.library (top level folders) and sub-library system (in comparison to normal folders) has first to be unterstand by customer (and admin ) and should be planed very well before create the librarys.user-rights management is bit confusing for the first time.professional service and hosting (also in germany) available.good documentation for admins (installation and configuration).very active development an support (also for community/free serverversion).clients for all platforms (win,mac,linux,android,ios).nice webinterface (see screenshots) and client-software.possibility to register yourself on the webinterface (with admin approval).multiple sharing options with external or internal users.integrated snapshot-system/versioning/trash for changed files/folders … as long as you want.very, very, very stable and fast!!! (i red much comments about slow owncloud clients).easy installation (if you’re firm with linux cli).Maybe someone else can highlight his own experiences with ownlcloud.Īt the moment we have 3 happy customers, using seafile for all their documents and teamworking on that. One of the first alternatives was seafile (tested before owncloud) and since then we used this cool cloud-server on our own hyerrV server. So Dropbox wasn’t the right service anymore. But more and more customer data had to be available for us on the “road”. could you highlight the pros and cons of each product?We could offer two options, with a clear document to help the end user choosing the best product for his needs.ģ years ago we used Dropbox. AFAIU, owncloud and seafile are mutually exclusive.
