On Ubuntu, we make use of the /etc/init.d/ scripts to start seafile/seahub at system boot.

Create systemd service files, change ${seafile_dir} to your seafile installation location and seafile to user, who runs seafile (if appropriate). Then you need to reload systemd's daemons: systemctl daemon-reload.
