About

What Seafile does

Seafile is a self-hosted file sync and share platform with efficient storage, versioning, and user permissions. It supports desktop and mobile sync clients, team libraries, and built-in web previews while keeping all data private on your infrastructure.

Install Flow

How to self-host Seafile

Seafile can be deployed with standard Docker Compose using the Yantr app catalog. This page collects the basic information searchers usually need first: what Seafile does, which Docker image Yantr uses, default ports, dependencies, and where to find the original compose template.

If you searched for Seafile Docker, Seafile Docker Compose, or self-host Seafile, this page is the direct landing page for that app in Yantr's catalog.

After deployment, Yantr also lets you publish additional ports later from the stack page using Docker-style syntax. Use mappings like 8080:8080 for a fixed host port or just 8080 to let Docker assign a random host port for container port 8080.

Use Cases

What people run it for

Sync documents and media across devices via encrypted, efficient delta sync.
Share folders with teams using permissions and group management.
Host your own file collaboration server with audit logging and backup support.
