GoLang Fileserver

The Seafile team has reimplemented the previous Python fileserver component in GoLang. With 9.0 both variants are included in Seafile. By default, the old Python fileserver is used. The new one is supposed to provide better performance in high concurrency workloads but it is still work in progress, so unexpected issues could occur.

To activate it add the following line to seafile-data/seafile/conf/seafile.conf:

[fileserver]
use_go_fileserver = true

Then restart or recreate the seafile-server container.
