Migrate From Windows to Linux

This tutorial show you how to migrate Seafile form Windows(using SQLite) to Linux.

1. Deploying Seafile Under Linux

First, you should Deploy Seafile with SQLite. And we assume that you deploy Seafile under /home/haiwen/ directory.

2. Replace Config Files And Databases

Delete config files and databases in Linux

rm /home/haiwen/seahub_settings.py
rm /home/haiwen/seahub.db
rm -r /home/haiwen/seafile-data
cp /home/haiwen/ccnet/seafile.ini /home/haiwen/seafile.ini
rm -r /home/haiwen/ccnet

Note: seafile.ini is used to record the path to seafile-data, we will use it later, so we just copy it out, not delete it.

Copy config files and databases to Linux

• copy file seahub_settings.py from Windows seafile-server to Linux /home/haiwen/;

• copy file seahub.db from Windows seafile-server to Linux /home/haiwen/;

• copy sub-directory seafile-data from Windows seafile-server to Linux /home/haiwen/;

• copy sub-directory ccnet from Windows seafile-server to Linux /home/haiwen/;

• copy /home/haiwen/seafile.ini to new Linux ccnet directory.

Start Seafile

./seafile.sh start
./seahub.sh start
