Seafile is running for more than a year in my environment. Changes can be reverted for a few days.Īnother option is “repository encryption” – the repostory content can not be accessed on the storage backend without an additional password. Repositories can be set up for keeping track of changes. Just back up the chunks. There is a command line version that could access the files… 😉 For backup, the console version should be used as the files are stored in chunks on disk unlike OwnCloud. By dropping any folder to the app a repository can be created which is a strenght of Seafile. The desktop application can be used to create new repositories, explore unsynced directories online (rights for current user implied). In the beginning I had a little trouble with ACL assignments. Seems fixed a while ago (read the changelogs). The server is split up in two processes on python – webinterface and storage backend. To add network encryption, a proxy like nginx is required. A system start script wrapper has to be composed – depending on your configuration – which is easy and described in documentation. The user management is stored in database and separated for user and groups – Permissions for user, groups and repositories aswell. Heavy improvements have been made within the last version steps. Available for Windows, Linux, iOS and Android. Good documentation for setup and migration. Thus host your files on your own fitting to your needs! Seafile It’s hard to trust your files to any cloud provider on the Internet.
