How to build a private cloud

1. Choose

There are actually quite a lot of cloud storage services nowadays, including the classic DropBox abroad. , Google Drive, Microsoft's OneDrive, etc., there are also various clouds that can be used for free in China. snake compared owncloud, mini cloud, and seafile, and saw that the answers on Zhihu were more inclined to seafile, so I chose it.

2. Introduction

Seafile is an open source cloud storage software project developed by a domestic team. It is currently said to have about 100,000 users. Typical institutional users include Belgium The Royal Museum of Natural Sciences, the Wuppertal Institute for Climate and Energy Research in Germany, etc. Seafile provides both client and server software for free download, and any individual or company can build their own private file synchronization service.

Seafile’s server side supports Linux, Windows and [Raspberry Pi] platforms. In addition to the web version, the client side also supports three desktop platforms: Mac, Linux, and Windows, and two mobile platforms, Android and iOS. You can use a computer in the LAN as a server to build a private cloud storage service that can only be accessed within the LAN. You can also deploy Seafile to Alibaba Cloud or any VPS or independent server on the Internet to achieve a private Online cloud storage service.

The key point is, it’s free.

3. Installation

Snake is installed on Mac using docker.

Other environments are also very simple.

1) Pull the jenserat/seafile image

docker pull jenserat/seafile:lates

2) Download Seafile

The image contains a script for downloading Seafile. Unfortunately, the file is hosted on Amazon ECS, domestically. Unable to access normally.

So we need to download it manually from the official website and decompress it locally.

tar -zxf seafile-server_6.0.9_x86-64.tar

3) Run docker

docker run -t -i --rm -p 10001:10001 -p 12001:12001 -p 8000:8000 -p 8080:8080 -p 8082:8082 -v /Users/snake/Downloads/sea:/opt/seafile jenserat/seafile -- /bin/bash
