Integrate Chwala with Seafile on Enterprise Linux 7
Seafile is a GPL v3-licensed software designed to host files privately and securely on servers with access to the Web, in a fashion similar to some popular proprietary solutions. As of Kolab version 16, Chwala, the file storage component of Kolab, can use Seafile as a backend to store files.
This document outlines the steps needed to interface Chwala with Seafile.
Prerequisites
- Kolab Groupware, kolab 16 or later (chwala 0.5.5-4.1 or later)
- Installed on RedHat Enterprise Linux
- Seafile version 4 or later, running on a top level domain (
