Purpose

Docker Seafile Client allow you to sync a Seafile library within a container.

Essentially, you can share a Seafile library as a volume to other containers.

Seafile?

Seafile is a cloud storage software.

Usage

The Seafile daemon is running from /.seafile/ and ~/.ccnet. The library is synced at /volume/.

The Seafile daemon is managed with supervisord since it can't run as a foreground process. The supervisord is running from /.supervisord/, the supervisord.conf, supervisord.log and supervisord.pid can be found there.
supervisord also manage a shell script, /infinite-seaf-cli-start.sh which run seaf-cli start every hour: the synchronisation might not work properly if seaf-cli start is not run from times to times, for an unresolved reason.

Examples

You would have to share the path /volume/ to other containers, with the following approaches:

Docker CLI

docker run \ 
    -e SEAF_SERVER_URL= \   # The URL to your Seafile server.
    -e SEAF_USERNAME= \     # Your Seafile username.
    -e SEAF_PASSWORD= \     # Your Seafile password
    -e SEAF_LIBRARY_UUID= \ # The Seafile library UUID you want to sync with.
    -e UID= \               # Default is 1000.
    -e GID= \               # Default is 1000.
    -v your/shared/volume:/volume \
    flowgunso/seafile-client:latest

docker-compose

version: "3.4"

services:
  seafile-client:
    image: flowgunso/seafile-client:latest
    restart: on-failure
    volumes:
      - your_shared_volume:/volume
    environment:
      - SEAF_SERVER_URL=    # The URL to your Seafile server.
      - SEAF_USERNAME=      # Your Seafile username.
      - SEAF_PASSWORD=      # Your Seafile password.
      - SEAF_LIBRARY_UUID=  # The Seafile library UUID you want to sync with.
      - UID=                # Default is 1000.
      - GID=                # Default is 1000.
