- [Docker](https://docker.com/) is an open source project to pack, ship and run any Linux application in a lighter weight, faster container than a traditional virtual machine.
- Docker makes it much easier to deploy [a Seafile server](https://github.com/haiwen/seafile) on your servers and keep it updated.
- The base image configures Seafile with the Seafile team's recommended optimal defaults.
If you are not familiar with docker commands, please refer to [docker documentation](https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/cli/).
### Getting Started
To login the seafile private registry:
```sh
docker login {pro-host}
```
You can see the private registry information on the [customer center](https://customer.seafile.com/downloads/)
Wait for a few minutes for the first time initialization, then visit `http://seafile.example.com` to open Seafile Web UI.
This command will mount folder `/opt/seafile-data` at the local server to the docker instance. You can find logs and other data under this folder.
### More configuration Options
#### Custom Admin Username and Password
The default admin account is `me@example.com` and the password is `asecret`. You can use a different password by setting the container's environment variables:
- create a folder `/opt/seafile-data/ssl`, and put your certificate and private key under the ssl directory.
- Assume your site name is `seafile.example.com`, then your certificate must have the name `seafile.example.com.crt`, and the private key must have the name `seafile.example.com.key`.
#### Modify Seafile Server Configurations
The config files are under `shared/seafile/conf`. You can modify the configurations according to [Seafile manual](https://manual.seafile.com/)
After modification, you need to restart the container:
```
docker restart seafile
```
#### Find logs
The seafile logs are under `/shared/logs/seafile` in the docker, or `/opt/seafile-data/logs/seafile` in the server that run the docker.
The system logs are under `/shared/logs/var-log`, or `/opt/seafile-data/logs/var-log` in the server that run the docker.
#### Add a new Admin
Ensure the container is running, then enter this command:
Enter the username and password according to the prompts. You now have a new admin account.
### Directory Structure
#### `/shared`
Placeholder spot for shared volumes. You may elect to store certain persistent information outside of a container, in our case we keep various logfiles and upload directory outside. This allows you to rebuild containers easily without losing important information.
- /shared/db: This is the data directory for mysql server
- /shared/seafile: This is the directory for seafile server configuration and data.
- /shared/logs: This is the directory for logs.
- /shared/logs/var-log: This is the directory that would be mounted as `/var/log` inside the container. For example, you can find the nginx logs in `shared/logs/var-log/nginx/`.
- /shared/logs/seafile: This is the directory that would contain the log files of seafile server processes. For example, you can find seaf-server logs in `shared/logs/seafile/seafile.log`.
- /shared/ssl: This is directory for certificate, which does not exist by default.
If you are one of the early users who use the `launcher` script, you should refer to [upgrade from old format](https://github.com/haiwen/seafile-docker/blob/master/upgrade_from_old_format.md) document.
### Troubleshooting
You can run docker commands like "docker logs" or "docker exec" to find errors.
