Seafile is an open source cloud storage system with advanced support for file syncing, privacy protection and teamwork. Seafile Server is a part of it.

Seafile server consists of several components.

  • Seahub (django)：the website. Seafile server package contains a light-weight Python HTTP server gunicorn that serves the website. Seahub runs as an application within gunicorn.
  • HttpServer (httpserver): handles raw file upload/download functions for Seahub. Due to Gunicorn being poor at handling large files, so we wrote this "HttpServer" in the C programming language to serve raw file upload/download.
  • Seafile server (seaf-server)：data service daemon
  • Ccnet server (ccnet-server)：networking service daemon. In our initial design, Ccnet worked like a traffic bus. All the network traffic between client, server and internal traffic between different components would go through Ccnet. After further development we found that file transfer is improved by utilizing the Seafile daemon component directly.
