The speeds I get with Seafile can easily saturate my connection. I would have to agree, but I dont actually know enough to know if thats really the case or not. There is little reason not to use the filesystem. Takes double the space, but give me piece of mind, and more flexibility. I just keep my files synced outside of the Seafile container using the Sync client. Yah as soon as I saw read only I quit trying to get that setup. Some clients never finish indexing, and stay "indexing" for months, while others will just crash about 1/2 way through. If I were to try and load the exact same files over WebDAV with a client like Mountainduck, Expandrive, etc.It would literally take days and crash several times. It loaded the index for all of my files in less than 1 minute. I recently reformatted my Macbook, so I just now re-installed the SeaDrive client. Perfect example of what I'm talking about. If they had an iOS app, it might be worth it. It's way too expensive considering it uses place holder files instead of being transparent like Seafile, and it has no mobile apps.If they go under you cant use the program anymore. So close, but the problem here is that it is tied into a web service.It's Closed source, and Resilio seems much more focused on Resilio Connect now.I have held out hope on this one since it was BTSync. I have tried Resilio countless times (including today) and it constantly throws errors during indexing, and syncing. It's all or nothing, unless you want to constantly edit the. There is no way to mount your sync folders in a way that allows you to view whats in them without syncing the entire contents.Have also tried several other WebDAV servers and its always the same. I have tried numerous times, and numerous different client apps. Everything revolves around WebDAV and with the workload I am doing, WebDAV is simply not upto the task.The reason for many other things not being alternatives: But the concerns above really make me worry. It ticks nearly every box for what I would want in a setup like this. Seafile is hands down the single best self-hosted file sync tool I have ever used. So this leaves me in a very weird situation. But I also cant find any recent security audits or anyone credible who can vouch for Seafile that it is infact safe a secure. Now, I understand that all my data is on my own hardware, and that Seafile CE is opensource. Lastly, Seafile LTD is headquarterd in Beijing China.Somethings are opensource, somethings arent, and overall everything seems a bit disjointed and ambiguous when trying to find info.
#Seafile client api no credentials install
Even thier official install guide had me install a version thats 4 years old.I had to use someone elses Docker Compose file to get a working install of the latest version. It took me 2 days just to figure out what version was actually the latest. They seem to have a relatively small community, and they in general seem a bit disorganzied.
#Seafile client api no credentials update
Plus what happens to all my data if an update or something else messes up my install? (Currently I'm syncing all my data to another system to keep a workable copy outside of seafile) But now I have no way to access my files from anything outside of Seafile. Now I know this is the main reason for its great performance too.
