Getting Stared On Windows

System Requirements

Only Windows 10 is supported.

At this time(2016/12/5) windows server 2016 doesn't support running linux containers yet. We'll add the support for windows server 2016 once it supports running linux containers.

Install the Requirements

Install Docker for Windows

Follow the instructions on https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-windows/ to install docker on windows.

You need to turn on the Hyper-V feature in your system:

Open "program and features" from windows start menu
Click "turn on/off windows features", you'll see a settings window
If Hyper-V is not checked, check it. You may be asked to reboot your system after that.

Make sure docker daemon is running before continuing.

Install Git

Download the installer from https://git-scm.com/download/win and install it.

Important: During the installation, you must choose "Checkout as is, Commit as is".

Install Notepad++

Seafile configuration files are using linux-style line-ending, which can't be hanlded by the notepad.exe program. So we need to install notepad++, an lightweight text editor that works better in this case.

Download the installer from https://notepad-plus-plus.org/download/v7.2.2.html and install it. During the installation, you can uncheck all the optional components.

Getting Started with Seafile Docker

Decide Which Drive to Store Seafile Data

Choose the larges drive on your system. Assume it's the C: Drive. Now right-click on the tray icon of the docker app, and click the "settings" menu item.

You should see a settings dialog now. Click the "Shared Drives" tab, and check the C: drive. Then click "apply" on the settings dialog.

Run Seafile Docker

First open a powershell window as administrator , and run the following command to set the execution policy to "RemoteSigned":

Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned

Close the powershell window, and open a new one as the normal user.

Now run the following commands:

(Note that if you're using another drive than "C:", say "D:", you should change the "/c/seafile" in the following commands to "/d/seafile" instead.)

git clone https://github.com/haiwen/seafile-docker.git /c/seafile/
cd /c/seafile/
