Its stupid fast, reliable, and rarely has any conflicts. If it does it seems to work them out without intervention. I’ve tried Nextcloud including the AIO image and its just so clunky and slow. I was getting sync errors just on the simple Notes apps. Repeatedly. I mean I get why people like it, it can do way more than Seafile. But for a pure Dropbox replacement, I love it.
The fact I can reach any file on any device from any other device without syncing EVERYTHING is fantastic. I know Syncthing is also popular, but seems to require more manual settings if you want to be selective on what syncs.
I will say, I’ve tried and failed numerous times to get Collabora CODE and S3 storage integration to work with Seafile and that is a nightmare, at least for me. I cannot get my head around it. But standing Seafile up itself was fairly easy.
Does anyone else use it? If so, have you tried the CODE and/or multiple storage backend integrations?
Can I ask you a question regarding that? I don’t know enough about the various apps for databases. What is preferable about postgres over Mysql/Mariadb? I’m still learning, as you can tell.
I’ve been using Seafile for years and like it a lot. Simple, fast, easy to set up, apps for everything, well maintained. I keep regular device backups so am not worried about a bug wiping out the server.
I haven’t tried any integrations, any recommendations?
Well that’s the thing…I haven’t been able to get any to work yet. Their documentation isn’t great. But the one I’d really like to get going is the multi storage backend. You can then specify hot and cold storage based on the library within Seafile itself, which is pretty great. But I need someone smarter than me to figure that part out 😆

I gave up on using it when they dropped postgres support

Oh right haha in that case I think I’ll just wait until there are idiot proof instructions!
Try FileRun
I thought they got rid of the free version… Does look like a really cool project though.
