Sealfile Server is an open-source self-hosted file sharing solution for private cloud applications software that allows users to create their own personal file cloud storage. In this tutorial, we will learn how to install and use it on Windows 10 WSL- Windows subsystem for Linux.

Those don’t want to store their data on some third party platform, they can create and host personal files on their own Windows 10 or server platforms using Sealfile. Just like Google Drive, One Drive, or DropBox, it is available in Server-client architecture. Thus, we can install the Seafile client application on our smartphone or other computer systems to easily sync data between a Cloud server.

You can consider it as not as an alternative to popular paid platforms such as DropBox but also to other open-source such as NextCloud and OwnCloud platforms. This cross-platform file-sharing software will store the data in a centralized server and that can be accessed via local or internet from anywhere.

• Can sync data such as image, files, and more.
• Supports Windows, Mac, Linux, Android and iOS, and clients.
• The web-based app interface is supported to manage data
• Sharing of Files using Public link is possible.
• Version Control
• Two-factor authentication for security
• Users can open and edit documents even the one created using MS-office (docx/pptx/xlsx)
• Mobile File Access
• Server-side data encryption
• Seafile Drive client that can map the private cloud on PC as a virtual drive to access and sync data
• Users can save Wiki documents in Markdown format directly inside a library
• Supports file locking to prevent concurrent editing
• Audit Log helps in monitoring the system
• File sharing with Permission Control
• Virus scan for files
• HTTPS/TLS protocol support

Versions:

The SeaFile is available in two versions, one is standard without any user’s limitations whereas the other one is professional which is also available to download, install, and use free of cost but with only 3 users limitations. Thus, if you are just want to use it for personal or home usage then can go for the Seafile professional server version.

Recommended: Owncloud or NextCloud on WSL.

Steps to install SeaFile File storage Server on Windows 10 -WSL

Here we are using Ubuntu 18.04 LTS focal fossa as the WSL Linux app, however, you can use Ubuntu 20.04 LTS as well. This tutorial can also be followed for any full-fledged supported Ubuntu-based Linux distro including Linux Mint, Elementary OS, and Debian.

Install MySQL Server

To store the content of our Personal cloud software, we need to have the MySQL Database. In Case you already have one then you can connect that as well. However, here  I am assuming that you don’t have any MySQL instance thus, here we are installing the one.

sudo apt install mysql-server

Once installed start the service

sudo service mysql start

Set MySQL root Password:

mysqladmin -u root password newpass

Note: Change newpass with the password you want o use.

Create Databases for : 

sudo mysql -p

Enter the password you set.

Once login, create Databases:

create database `ccnet_db` character set = 'utf8';

create database `seafile_db` character set = 'utf8';

create database `seahub_db` character set = 'utf8';

User

create user 'seafile'@'localhost' identified by 'seafile';

Give permissions

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;

exit;

Run the installation script of SeaFile

Switch to Seafile directory and run the below command.

cd /opt/seafile

sudo bash setup-seafile-mysql.sh

Follow the guided installation steps:

1. Press Enter button
2. Provide the name which you want to assign to your SeaFile server
3. Which port the Seafile should use, by default it is 8082. Press the Enter key to go with it, in case this port is being used by some other server enter the one which is free and you want to use.
4. Select method to use the MySQL server. If you have already a Mysql Database then select 2nd option to connect it otherwise Ist one to create a new entery.
