How to set up a Seafile Server on a raspberry pi complete<\/h3>\n

I set up a dedicated raspberry pi Seafile server with a 2TB external to deal with selective syncing. Mostly with vendor folders like node. I was using Dropbox but I think the amount of syncing and resyncing killed my chromebook\u2019s SSD.<\/p>\n

There only a couple major steps to having it up and running to where you should no longer need a keyboard, mouse, or monitor.<\/p>\n

1. Install Raspbian on PI<\/h3>\n

https:\/\/www.raspberrypi.org\/downloads\/<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Get the NOOBS.zip setup and extract the contents onto a FAT32 microSD card. Load it up, select en_US (not en_GB) for language at the bottom and install Raspbian.<\/p>\n

Once install opened the terminal run these to update the installed packages on the Rasbpian and get the dependencies for Seafile<\/p>\n

sudo aptitude update<\/pre>\n
sudo aptitude -y install python2.7 python-setuptools python-simplejson python-imaging sqlite3<\/pre>\n
2. Set up static network IP via<\/h3>\n
sudo nano \/etc\/network\/interfaces<\/pre>\n
auto lo\r\niface lo inet loopback\r\n\r\n\r\n#My IP description\r\n# IPv4 address\r\niface eth0 inet static\r\n# address of your raspberry pi pick any 192.162.x.xxx. Be consistent\r\naddress\t192.168.0.100\r\nnetmask\t255.255.255.0\r\n# address of your router typically\r\ngateway 192.168.1.1<\/pre>\n
#My IP description \r\n# IPv4 address\r\niface wlan0 inet static\r\n# address of your raspberry pi\r\naddress\t192.168.0.100\r\nnetmask\t255.255.255.0\r\n# address of your router typically\r\ngateway 192.168.1.1\r\n# some line about a referenced config file should be here to \r\n# save wireless settings<\/pre>\n
3. Set up automount external drive<\/h3>\n
You are going to want to figure out which drive is the correct one you are using. Use sudo fdisk -l to find the name and replace sda1 with your drive below. Replace the filesystem type below with yours. Separate everything with either 1 tab OR 1 space.<\/p>\n
sudo fdisk -l<\/pre>\n
sudo nano \/etc\/fstab<\/pre>\n
\/dev\/sda1 \/media\/externalHD ntfs defaults 0 1<\/pre>\n
4. Install Seafile-server for PI<\/h3>\n
Replace 5.0.3 with the newest version, if any, from<\/p>\n
https:\/\/github.com\/haiwen\/seafile-rpi\/releases<\/a>\/<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
wget https:\/\/github.com\/haiwen\/seafile-rpi\/releases<\/a>\/seafile-server_stable_5.0.3_pi.tar.gz<\/a><\/pre>\n
tar -xvzf seafile-server_*<\/pre>\n
mkdir installed<\/pre>\n
mv seafile-server_*.tar.gz installed<\/pre>\n
cd seafile-server-*<\/pre>\n
.\/setup-seafile.sh<\/pre>\n
You are going to be asked some questions during the setup.<\/p>\n
Set the IP to the one you set in the static IP section or use a no-ip address.<\/p>\n
192.168.x.xxx<\/pre>\n
Set the path of where to hold files on the external.<\/p>\n
\/media\/externalHD\/SeaData<\/pre>\n
5. Configure autostart for seafile onboot via crontab -e<\/h3>\n
Crontab is a scheduler for commands. We want to start the seafile.sh first and then start seahub.sh after 15 seconds to give time for seafile to boot because seahub depends on seafile running.<\/p>\n
crontab -e<\/em><\/pre>\n
@reboot \/home\/pi\/mycloud\/seafile-server-latest\/seafile.sh start\r\n@reboot sleep 15 && \/home\/pi\/mycloud\/seafile-server-latest\/seahub.sh start<\/pre>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n
\n
\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
There you have it.<\/h3>\n
With a little luck you\u2019ll only have to do this once. Before you disconnect monitor, keyboard, mouse, etc, make sure everything is running and that you can connect after a reboot command in the terminal. Download clients. Connect them to the server using your pi\u2019s ip. http:\/\/191.168.x.xxx<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n

A good chuck of this documentation came from this guide. He uses a static external IP address for the pi to be able to connect anywhere to it if you are interested.<\/p>\n
