Any documentation to know how to use external storage for files

[litus]

Hello,

I'd like to use a windows share folder to store all the data stored on seafile. It's possible?

Any tutorial?

thanks in advance

A few people have reported problem with external storage. We haven't tested much about this. We'll do the test soon.

I'm interested in this too!

The idea is, to run the seafile-server in a small VM on our vSphere machine (not too much and expensive disk space available) and to mount seafile storage via NFS from our NAS.

Thanks and best regards,

Jochen

We've done the test and Seafile now should run on NFS or CIFS.

Note that you should use MySQL for database.

It's mentioned in this doc: https://github.com/haiwen/seafile/wiki/Download-and-setup-seafile-server#wiki-Deploying_and_Directory_Layout

But it's a good idea to write a separate doc for it.

Where can I find information on how to extend local storage for Seahub using an NFS or SMB/CIFS share?

You can place the whole Seafile installation on NFS.
