I’ve used Nextcloud for a long while but only for cloud storage and photo backup from my phone. I’ve moved the latter to Immich and just replaced the cloud storage with Seafile.
So far everything is hunky dory but I was wondering if anyone who’s run Seafile for longer has any insights for things to watch out for with it. I’m following the documentation backup solution and I’m the only user (so the whole db/file de sync during backup isn’t an issue)
I think garbage collection is a thing that needs to be run on a regular basis. If you’re using the community edition of Seafile, you’ll need to shut down its services and run an offline garbage collection. If you get a pro license (I think up to 3 users are free), you can run the garbage collection online, i.e. without shutting down the service.
