Seafile Server Edition 7.1: Preparing the foundation for the next development stage. https://t.co/oj72s2Qdt5

— Seafile (@Seafile) April 9, 2020

My Debian 10 GNU/Linux virtual machine:

• Debian GNU/Linux 10.5 (buster) amd64
• Apache 2.4 web server

Instructions

1. You have to install new dependencies, due to the transition from Python 2 to Python 3, the following is for Debian 10 and Seafile Server community edition.
   
   Shell

   apt install python3 python3-setuptools python3-pip -y pip3 install Pillow pylibmc captcha jinja2 sqlalchemy psd-tools django-pylibmc django-simple-captcha python3-ldap

   1 2 3

   apt install python3 python3-setuptools python3-pip -y   pip3 install Pillow pylibmc captcha jinja2 sqlalchemy psd-tools django-pylibmc django-simple-captcha python3-ldap

2. Switch to the install path of your Seafile installation:
   
   Shell

   cd /opt/seafile

   1	cd /opt/seafile

3. Make yourself familiar with your folder layout structure. For me it’s organized in /opt/seafile:
   
   Shell

   root@debian:/opt/seafile# tree -d -L 2 /opt/seafile/ /opt/seafile/ ├── ccnet │ └── misc ├── certificates ├── conf ├── logs ├── pids ├── seafile-data │ ├── commits │ ├── fs │ ├── httptemp │ ├── library-template │ ├── storage │ └── tmpfiles ├── seafile-server-6.3.4 │ ├── runtime │ ├── seafile │ ├── seahub │ └── upgrade ├── seafile-server-7.0.5 │ ├── runtime │ ├── seafile │ ├── seahub │ ├── sql │ └── upgrade ├── seafile-server-latest -> seafile-server-6.3.4 └── seahub-data ├── avatars └── thumbnail

   1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30

   root@debian:/opt/seafile# tree -d -L 2 /opt/seafile/ /opt/seafile/ ├── ccnet │   └── misc ├── certificates ├── conf ├── logs ├── pids ├── seafile-data │   ├── commits │   ├── fs │   ├── httptemp │   ├── library-template │   ├── storage │   └── tmpfiles ├── seafile-server-6.3.4 │   ├── runtime │   ├── seafile │   ├── seahub │   └── upgrade ├── seafile-server-7.0.5 │   ├── runtime │   ├── seafile │   ├── seahub │   ├── sql │   └── upgrade ├── seafile-server-latest -> seafile-server-6.3.4 └── seahub-data     ├── avatars     └── thumbnail

4. Download the latest version:
   
   Shell

   wget https://s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/download.seadrive.org/seafile-server_7.1.5_x86-64.tar.gz

   1	wget https://s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/download.seadrive.org/seafile-server_7.1.5_x86-64.tar.gz

5. Unpack the archive:
   
   Shell

   tar -xzf seafile-server_7.1.5_x86-64.tar.gz

   1	tar -xzf seafile-server_7.1.5_x86-64.tar.gz

6. The directory listing should look similar to this example:
   
   Shell

   root@debian:/opt/seafile# tree -d -L 2 /opt/seafile/ /opt/seafile/ ├── ccnet │   └── misc ├── certificates ├── conf ├── logs ├── pids ├── seafile-data │   ├── commits │   ├── fs │   ├── httptemp │   ├── library-template │   ├── storage │   └── tmpfiles ├── seafile-server-7.1.3 │   ├── runtime │   ├── seafile │   ├── seahub │   ├── sql │   └── upgrade ├── seafile-server-7.1.5 │   ├── runtime │   ├── seafile │   ├── seahub │   ├── sql │   └── upgrade ├── seafile-server-latest -> seafile-server-7.1.3 └── seahub-data ├── avatars └── thumbnail

   1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31

   root@debian:/opt/seafile# tree -d -L 2 /opt/seafile/ /opt/seafile/ ├── ccnet │   └── misc ├── certificates ├── conf ├── logs ├── pids ├── seafile-data │   ├── commits │   ├── fs │   ├── httptemp │   ├── library-template │   ├── storage │   └── tmpfiles ├── seafile-server-7.1.3 │   ├── runtime │   ├── seafile │   ├── seahub │   ├── sql │   └── upgrade ├── seafile-server-7.1.5 │   ├── runtime │   ├── seafile │   ├── seahub │   ├── sql │   └── upgrade ├── seafile-server-latest -> seafile-server-7.1.3 └── seahub-data     ├── avatars     └── thumbnail

7. Stop the services before the update.
   
   Shell

   systemctl stop seafile-server

   1	systemctl stop seafile-server

8. List the available update scripts:
   
   Shell

   root@debian:/opt/seafile# ls -1h ./seafile-server-7.1.5/upgrade/ add_collate.sh db_update_1.3_1.4.py db_update_helper.py fix_mysql_user.py minor-upgrade.sh regenerate_secret_key.sh sql upgrade_1.2_1.3.sh upgrade_1.3_1.4.sh upgrade_1.4_1.5.sh upgrade_1.5_1.6.sh upgrade_1.6_1.7.sh upgrade_1.7_1.8.sh upgrade_1.8_2.0.sh upgrade_2.0_2.1.sh upgrade_2.1_2.2.sh upgrade_2.2_3.0.sh upgrade_3.0_3.1.sh upgrade_3.1_4.0.sh upgrade_4.0_4.1.sh upgrade_4.1_4.2.sh upgrade_4.2_4.3.sh upgrade_4.3_4.4.sh upgrade_4.4_5.0.sh upgrade_5.0_5.1.sh upgrade_5.1_6.0.sh upgrade_6.0_6.1.sh upgrade_6.1_6.2.sh upgrade_6.2_6.3.sh upgrade_6.3_7.0.sh upgrade_7.0_7.1.sh win32

   1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33

   root@debian:/opt/seafile# ls -1h ./seafile-server-7.1.5/upgrade/ add_collate.sh db_update_1.3_1.4.py db_update_helper.py fix_mysql_user.py minor-upgrade.sh regenerate_secret_key.sh sql upgrade_1.2_1.3.sh upgrade_1.3_1.4.sh upgrade_1.4_1.5.sh upgrade_1.5_1.6.sh upgrade_1.6_1.7.sh upgrade_1.7_1.8.sh upgrade_1.8_2.0.sh upgrade_2.0_2.1.sh upgrade_2.1_2.2.sh upgrade_2.2_3.0.sh upgrade_3.0_3.1.sh upgrade_3.1_4.0.sh upgrade_4.0_4.1.sh upgrade_4.1_4.2.sh upgrade_4.2_4.3.sh upgrade_4.3_4.4.sh upgrade_4.4_5.0.sh upgrade_5.0_5.1.sh upgrade_5.1_6.0.sh upgrade_6.0_6.1.sh upgrade_6.1_6.2.sh upgrade_6.2_6.3.sh upgrade_6.3_7.0.sh upgrade_7.0_7.1.sh win32

9. Decide whether you have to perform a major upgrade (7.0.x to 7.1.x) or a minor upgrade (7.1.x to 7.1.x):
   1. The update from 7.0.x to 7.1.x is a major version upgrade, so we have to use the upgrade_7.0_7.1.sh script:
      
      Shell

      root@debian:/opt/seafile# ./seafile-server-7.1.5/upgrade/upgrade_7.0_7.1.sh ------------------------------------------------------------- This script would upgrade your seafile server from 7.0 to 7.1 Press [ENTER] to contiune ------------------------------------------------------------- renaming the gunicorn.conf to gunicorn.conf.py ... Done Updating seafile/seahub database ... [INFO] You are using MySQL [INFO] updating seahub database... /opt/seafile/seafile-server-7.1.5/seahub/thirdpart/pymysql/cursors.py:170: Warning: (1050, "Table 'base_reposecretkey' already exists") result = self._query(query) [WARNING] Failed to execute sql: (1091, "Can't DROP INDEX `drafts_draft_origin_file_uuid_7c003c98_uniq`; check that it exists") Done migrating avatars ... Done updating /opt/seafile/seafile-server-latest symbolic link to /opt/seafile/seafile-server-7.1.5 ... ----------------------------------------------------------------- Upgraded your seafile server successfully. -----------------------------------------------------------------

      1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29

      root@debian:/opt/seafile# ./seafile-server-7.1.5/upgrade/upgrade_7.0_7.1.sh   ------------------------------------------------------------- This script would upgrade your seafile server from 7.0 to 7.1 Press [ENTER] to contiune -------------------------------------------------------------   renaming the gunicorn.conf to gunicorn.conf.py ...   Done   Updating seafile/seahub database ...   [INFO] You are using MySQL [INFO] updating seahub database... /opt/seafile/seafile-server-7.1.5/seahub/thirdpart/pymysql/cursors.py:170: Warning: (1050, "Table 'base_reposecretkey' already exists")   result = self._query(query) [WARNING] Failed to execute sql: (1091, "Can't DROP INDEX `drafts_draft_origin_file_uuid_7c003c98_uniq`; check that it exists") Done   migrating avatars ...   Done   updating /opt/seafile/seafile-server-latest symbolic link to /opt/seafile/seafile-server-7.1.5 ...   ----------------------------------------------------------------- Upgraded your seafile server successfully. -----------------------------------------------------------------

   2. The update from 7.1.x to 7.1.5 is a minor version upgrade, so we have to use the minor-upgrade.sh script:
      
      Shell

      root@debian:/opt/seafile# ./seafile-server-7.1.5/upgrade/minor-upgrade.sh ------------------------------------------------------------- This script would do the minor upgrade for you. Press [ENTER] to contiune ------------------------------------------------------------- renaming the gunicorn.conf to gunicorn.conf.py ... Done ------------------------------ migrating avatars ... DONE ------------------------------ Moving the elasticsearch's configuration file ... updating seafile-server-latest symbolic link to /opt/seafile/seafile-server-7.1.5 ... DONE ------------------------------

      1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23

      root@debian:/opt/seafile# ./seafile-server-7.1.5/upgrade/minor-upgrade.sh   ------------------------------------------------------------- This script would do the minor upgrade for you. Press [ENTER] to contiune -------------------------------------------------------------   renaming the gunicorn.conf to gunicorn.conf.py ...   Done   ------------------------------ migrating avatars ...   DONE ------------------------------   Moving the elasticsearch's configuration file ...   updating seafile-server-latest symbolic link to /opt/seafile/seafile-server-7.1.5 ...   DONE ------------------------------

      
       
10. Revise the file system permissions:
    
    Shell

    chown seafile:root /opt/seafile/ -R

    1	chown seafile:root /opt/seafile/ -R

11. Clear the Seahub cache:
    
    Shell

    rm -rf /tmp/seahub_cache systemctl restart memcached

    1 2	rm -rf /tmp/seahub_cache systemctl restart memcached

12. Before we can start Seafile server again, we have to check the memchached configuration for seahub:
    
    Shell

    nano /opt/seafile/conf/seahub_settings.py Change this line: 'BACKEND': 'django.core.cache.backends.memcached.MemcachedCache', To this line: 'BACKEND': 'django_pylibmc.memcached.PyLibMCCache',

    1 2 3 4 5 6 7

    nano /opt/seafile/conf/seahub_settings.py   Change this line: 'BACKEND': 'django.core.cache.backends.memcached.MemcachedCache',   To this line: 'BACKEND': 'django_pylibmc.memcached.PyLibMCCache',

13. Start the services:
    
    Shell

    systemctl start seafile-server

    1	systemctl start seafile-server

Thank you for reading my blog and I hope I could help someone out there!

5. Stop the services before the update.
   
   Shell

   systemctl stop seafile-server

   1	systemctl stop seafile-server

6. List the available update scripts:
   
   Shell

   root@debian:/opt/seafile# ls -1h ./seafile-server-7.0.5/upgrade/ add_collate.sh db_update_1.3_1.4.py db_update_helper.py fix_mysql_user.py minor-upgrade.sh regenerate_secret_key.sh sql upgrade_1.2_1.3.sh upgrade_1.3_1.4.sh upgrade_1.4_1.5.sh upgrade_1.5_1.6.sh upgrade_1.6_1.7.sh upgrade_1.7_1.8.sh upgrade_1.8_2.0.sh upgrade_2.0_2.1.sh upgrade_2.1_2.2.sh upgrade_2.2_3.0.sh upgrade_3.0_3.1.sh upgrade_3.1_4.0.sh upgrade_4.0_4.1.sh upgrade_4.1_4.2.sh upgrade_4.2_4.3.sh upgrade_4.3_4.4.sh upgrade_4.4_5.0.sh upgrade_5.0_5.1.sh upgrade_5.1_6.0.sh upgrade_6.0_6.1.sh upgrade_6.1_6.2.sh upgrade_6.2_6.3.sh upgrade_6.3_7.0.sh win32

   Caution: There is a bug in the update script upgrade_6.3_7.0.sh. It doesn’t distinguish between the community and pro version anymore, hence the errors above. These errors are no problem, if you use the community edition, because they don’t account to that version.

8. Revise the file system permissions:
   
   Shell

   chown seafile:root /opt/seafile/ -R

   1	chown seafile:root /opt/seafile/ -R

9. Before we can start seafile again, we have to check the init script and the apache.conf:
   

   From 6.3, With this upgrade, the fast-cgi mode is no longer supported. You need to config Seafile behind Nginx/Apache in WSGI mode. Two steps are needed to switch to WSGI mode:

   1. Change the config file of Nginx/Apache.
   2. Restart Seahub with ./seahub.sh start instead of ./seahub.sh start-fastcgi

10. First let’s check the init script:
    
    Shell

    nano /etc/init.d/seafile-server # Change the value of fastcgi to true if fastcgi is to be used fastcgi=false

    1 2 3 4

    nano /etc/init.d/seafile-server   # Change the value of fastcgi to true if fastcgi is to be used fastcgi=false

11. And second edit the corresponding apache.conf:
    
    Shell

    nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/files.meinekleinefarm.net.conf # seahub 6.1 #SetEnvIf Request_URI . proxy-fcgi-pathinfo=unescape #SetEnvIf Authorization "(.*)" HTTP_AUTHORIZATION=$1 #ProxyPass / fcgi://127.0.0.1:8000/ # seahub 6.2 SetEnvIf Authorization "(.*)" HTTP_AUTHORIZATION=$1 ProxyPass / http://127.0.0.1:8000/ ProxyPassReverse / http://127.0.0.1:8000/

    1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

    nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/files.meinekleinefarm.net.conf # seahub 6.1 #SetEnvIf Request_URI . proxy-fcgi-pathinfo=unescape #SetEnvIf Authorization "(.*)" HTTP_AUTHORIZATION=$1 #ProxyPass / fcgi://127.0.0.1:8000/   # seahub 6.2 SetEnvIf Authorization "(.*)" HTTP_AUTHORIZATION=$1 ProxyPass / http://127.0.0.1:8000/ ProxyPassReverse / http://127.0.0.1:8000/

12. Reload the apache.conf:
    
    Shell

    systemctl reload apache2

    1	systemctl reload apache2

13. Start the services:
    
    Shell

    systemctl start seafile-server

    1	systemctl start seafile-server

Thank you for reading my blog and I hope I could help someone out there!
