Seafile Professional Server Changelog

Seafile Professional Server Changelog

6.3

In version 6.3, Django is upgraded to version 1.11. Django 1.8, which is used in version 6.2, is deprecated in 2018 April.

With this upgrade, the fast-cgi mode is no longer supported. You need to config Seafile behind Nginx/Apache in WSGI mode.

The way to run Seahub in another port is also changed. You need to modify the configuration file conf/gunicorn.conf instead of running ./seahub.sh start <another-port>.

Version 6.3 also changed the database table for file comments, if you have used this feature, you need migrate old file comments using the following commends after upgrading to 6.3:

./seahub.sh python-env seahub/manage.py migrate_file_comment

Note, this command should be run while Seafile server is running.

Version 6.3 changed ‘/shib-login’ to ‘/sso’. If you use Shibboleth, you need to to update your Apache/Nginx config. Please check the updated document: https://manual.seafile.com/deploy/shibboleth_config_v6.3.html

Version 6.3 add a new option for file search (seafevents.conf):

[INDEX FILES]
...
highlight = fvh
...

This option will make search speed improved significantly (10x) when the search result contains large pdf/doc files. But you need to rebuild search index if you want to add this option.

6.2

From 6.2, It is recommended to use proxy mode for communication between Seahub and Nginx/Apache. Two steps are needed if you’d like to switch to WSGI mode:

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

The configuration of Nginx is as following:

location / {
         proxy_pass         http://127.0.0.1:8000;
         proxy_set_header   Host $host;
         proxy_set_header   X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
         proxy_set_header   X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
         proxy_set_header   X-Forwarded-Host $server_name;
         proxy_read_timeout  1200s;
         # used for view/edit office file via Office Online Server
         client_max_body_size 0;
         access_log      /var/log/nginx/seahub.access.log;
         error_log       /var/log/nginx/seahub.error.log;
    }

The configuration of Apache is as following:

    # seahub
    SetEnvIf Authorization "(.*)" HTTP_AUTHORIZATION=$1
    ProxyPass / http://127.0.0.1:8000/
    ProxyPassReverse / http://127.0.0.1:8000/

You can follow the document on minor upgrade (http://manual.seafile.com/deploy/upgrade.html).

Special note for upgrading a cluster:

In version 6.0, the folder download mechanism has been updated. This requires that, in a cluster deployment, seafile-data/httptemp folder must be in an NFS share. You can make this folder a symlink to the NFS share.

cd /data/haiwen/
ln -s /nfs-share/seafile-httptemp seafile-data/httptemp

The httptemp folder only contains temp files for downloading/uploading file on web UI. So there is no reliability requirement for the NFS share. You can export it from any node in the cluster.
