Minimal example deployment

values.yaml

workload:
  main:
    podSpec:
      containers:
        main:
          env:
            SEAFILE_SERVER_HOSTNAME: "seafile.${DOMAIN}"
            INIT_SEAFILE_ADMIN_EMAIL: [email protected]
            INIT_SEAFILE_ADMIN_PASSWORD: a_very_secret_password

Storage

Seafile uses Block storage so files/folders uploaded to Seafile aren’t visible by default when mounting the persisted storage. For more information see the this post on the Seafile Forums. As well, Seafile uses init scripts which need to be run as root so if hostpath is used (such as using HDDs) then make sure your storage is owned by root.

WebDAV

By default WebDAV is disabled by default, as per upstream docs. Here’s some simple instructions to modify your seafdav.conf to enable WebDAV if you wish to use it with Traefik.

Option 1:

• Enter Seafile Pod Shell
• Use the CLI to enter the Seafile WebDAV (seafdav.conf) config file
• Use vi commands to edit the Enabled to true and change the share name as desired (default is /seafdav).

Use i to insert text and and :wq, and ESC key to exit insert mode

• Restart Seafile and your WebDAV share will be accessible using your domain.com/seafdav

Option 2:

• Add codeserver as addon to the deplyment.
• Browse to /shared/seafile/conf/seafdav.conf
• Change enabled = false to enabled = true
• Restart Seafile and your WebDAV share will be accessible using your domain.com/seafdav
