Hey #Linux folks, I'm having trouble deciding between #OpenCloud and #Seafile for our #HomeServer. It's a pretty beefy system so the overhead of each shouldn't be too much of a determining factor. I have 2 10tb hard drives that are raid1 and I have docker installed. Oh, and I installed Ubuntu Server because I'm comfortable with Ubuntu already.

My main goal is to make it easy to share and distribute files and store backups and media. I plan on adding #JellyFin at a later date for streaming.

One of the differences I noticed is that each one uses a different dbms. Not a big deal I don't think.

Thanks for any input.

Сегодня полдня воевала с отвалами Seafile на Raspberry Pi 5. Были постоянные 502 ошибки, перезапуски и обрывы соединений.
​Вскрытие показало, что MariaDB решила поиграть в современные технологии и включила io_uring по умолчанию. Но ядро малинки супер-возложило на это (EPERM). В итоге пёр бесконечный цикл падений и приветственное Connection refused в логах самого Seafile.
​Принудительно отключаэила native-aio в конфиге базы и выдала ей чуть больше памяти (innodb_buffer_pool_size=512M), благо на пятерке ресурсов хватает. Пока нормально, рулим дальше.

Why I really want #Seafile to work for me

• A lot of users report that Seafile sync is significantly faster than #Nextcloud, especially for large libraries.
• I genuinely like Seafile’s extended properties (metadata) feature — it feels more structured and usable compared to Nextcloud.
• Unlike #PaperlessNGX / #Papra, I can directly edit Office files, which makes it more than just a document archive.

I’m really hoping this setup works out, because on paper it checks all the right boxes for my workflow.

Ich würde gerne meine hakelige #nextcloud-Instanz durch #seafile ersetzen und suche noch einen bezahlbaren und zuverlässigen #cloudhosting Anbieter.

Empfehlung gerne per PM (ich will ja hier kein Werbeforum produzieren).

I spun up Seafile last night to replace my bloated Nextcloud setup (which I hadn't really used beyond WebDAV for Obsidian notes & Floccus bookmark syncing).

Documentation was definitely lacking. It didn't help that Google took me to their obsolete v11 instructions instead of the current v13, and I dumped an hour or two into fighting the jank around that.

Seafile seems much less bloated.

Though I wonder if I should worry that it's developed in China?

🖥️ Bạn dùng laptop 8 GB RAM để chạy nhiều dịch vụ (Windows (Dockur), Immich, Paperless‑ngx, Calibre‑web, Archivebox, Pi‑hole…) và muốn thêm Seafile. 📊 Dữ liệu free‑ram (20‑th % ≈ 2 GB, 5‑th % ≈ 1.7 GB) cho thấy RAM còn hạn chế. Để tránh crash, nên giữ ít nhất **~2 GB RAM khả dụng** và bật swap (~4 GB) để hỗ trợ tạm thời. Nếu có thể, nâng RAM lên 12‑16 GB sẽ ổn hơn.
