Seafile Server Edition 7.1: Preparing the foundation for the next development stage. https://t.co/oj72s2Qdt5

My Debian 10 GNU/Linux virtual machine:
- Debian GNU/Linux 10.5 (buster) amd64
- Apache 2.4 web server
Instructions
- You have to install new dependencies, due to the transition from Python 2 to Python 3, the following is for Debian 10 and Seafile Server community edition.
apt install python3 python3-setuptools python3-pip -y pip3 install Pillow pylibmc captcha jinja2 sqlalchemy psd-tools django-pylibmc django-simple-captcha python3-ldap
- Switch to the install path of your Seafile installation:
cd /opt/seafile
- Make yourself familiar with your folder layout structure. For me it’s organized in /opt/seafile:
root@debian:/opt/seafile# tree -d -L 2 /opt/seafile/ /opt/seafile/ ├── ccnet │ └── misc ├── certificates ├── conf ├── logs ├── pids ├── seafile-data │ ├── commits │ ├── fs │ ├── httptemp │ ├── library-template │ ├── storage │ └── tmpfiles ├── seafile-server-6.3.4 │ ├── runtime │ ├── seafile │ ├── seahub │ └── upgrade ├── seafile-server-7.0.5 │ ├── runtime │ ├── seafile │ ├── seahub │ ├── sql │ └── upgrade ├── seafile-server-latest -> seafile-server-6.3.4 └── seahub-data ├── avatars └── thumbnail - Download the latest version:
wget https://s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/download.seadrive.org/seafile-server_7.1.5_x86-64.tar.gz
- Unpack the archive:
tar -xzf seafile-server_7.1.5_x86-64.tar.gz
- The directory listing should look similar to this example:
root@debian:/opt/seafile# tree -d -L 2 /opt/seafile/ /opt/seafile/ ├── ccnet │ └── misc ├── certificates ├── conf ├── logs ├── pids ├── seafile-data │ ├── commits │ ├── fs │ ├── httptemp │ ├── library-template │ ├── storage │ └── tmpfiles ├── seafile-server-7.1.3 │ ├── runtime │ ├── seafile │ ├── seahub │ ├── sql │ └── upgrade ├── seafile-server-7.1.5 │ ├── runtime │ ├── seafile │ ├── seahub │ ├── sql │ └── upgrade ├── seafile-server-latest -> seafile-server-7.1.3 └── seahub-data ├── avatars └── thumbnail - Stop the services before the update.
systemctl stop seafile-server
- List the available update scripts:
root@debian:/opt/seafile# ls -1h ./seafile-server-7.1.5/upgrade/ add_collate.sh db_update_1.3_1.4.py db_update_helper.py fix_mysql_user.py minor-upgrade.sh regenerate_secret_key.sh sql upgrade_1.2_1.3.sh upgrade_1.3_1.4.sh upgrade_1.4_1.5.sh upgrade_1.5_1.6.sh upgrade_1.6_1.7.sh upgrade_1.7_1.8.sh upgrade_1.8_2.0.sh upgrade_2.0_2.1.sh upgrade_2.1_2.2.sh upgrade_2.2_3.0.sh upgrade_3.0_3.1.sh upgrade_3.1_4.0.sh upgrade_4.0_4.1.sh upgrade_4.1_4.2.sh upgrade_4.2_4.3.sh upgrade_4.3_4.4.sh upgrade_4.4_5.0.sh upgrade_5.0_5.1.sh upgrade_5.1_6.0.sh upgrade_6.0_6.1.sh upgrade_6.1_6.2.sh upgrade_6.2_6.3.sh upgrade_6.3_7.0.sh upgrade_7.0_7.1.sh win32
- Decide whether you have to perform a major upgrade (7.0.x to 7.1.x) or a minor upgrade (7.1.x to 7.1.x):
- The update from 7.0.x to 7.1.x is a major version upgrade, so we have to use the

rm -rf /tmp/seahub_cache systemctl restart memcached

Caution: There is a bug in the update script upgrade_6.3_7.0.sh. It doesn’t distinguish between the community and pro version anymore, hence the errors above. These errors are no problem, if you use the community edition, because they don’t account to that version.
Source: https://forum.seafile.com/t/got-mysql-warnings-when-upgraded-from-6-3-to-7-0/9122/4 - Revise the file system permissions:
chown seafile:root /opt/seafile/ -R
- Before we can start seafile again, we have to check the init script and the apache.conf:
From 6.3, With this upgrade, the fast-cgi mode is no longer supported. You need to config Seafile behind Nginx/Apache in WSGI mode. Two steps are needed to switch to WSGI mode:
- Change the config file of Nginx/Apache.
- Restart Seahub with
./seahub.sh startinstead of./seahub.sh start-fastcgi
- First let’s check the init script:
nano /etc/init.d/seafile-server # Change the value of fastcgi to true if fastcgi is to be used fastcgi=false
- And second edit the corresponding apache.conf:
nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/files.meinekleinefarm.net.conf # seahub 6.1 #SetEnvIf Request_URI . proxy-fcgi-pathinfo=unescape #SetEnvIf Authorization "(.*)" HTTP_AUTHORIZATION=$1 #ProxyPass / fcgi://127.0.0.1:8000/ # seahub 6.2 SetEnvIf Authorization "(.*)" HTTP_AUTHORIZATION=$1 ProxyPass / http://127.0.0.1:8000/ ProxyPassReverse / http://127.0.0.1:8000/
- Reload the apache.conf:
systemctl reload apache2
- Start the services:
systemctl start seafile-server

Hello,
Thank you for your blog. It helps me a lot !!!
I was blocked into my migration from CE 7.05 to 7.1 and thanks to your 2 first lines about python solve my problem.
The memchached configuration for seahub was already with the good value for me.
Now I’ve to follow to migrate to the professional version.
Thanks for your share
