Seafile as a Snap, please!

I might as well come clean directly: Yes, I signed up for this forum only so that I could post on the wishlist. I’m not proud of myself, but there it is…

Three years ago I installed Nextcloud as a Snap. It was dead easy and I’ve never had any issues with it.
Now, I’m thinking of moving off Nc and try Seafile instead. The application looks really interesting except for … no Snap version!
I gave the docker-compose a try and … well, after a week I’m still trying to get the damn thing off the ground.
Come on! Snap is Linux on easy-mode!

Hey there

Watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BEp_l2oUcD8&t=4296s

If im right and you mean this: https://github.com/haiwen/seafile

Snap it :wink:

Bytheway Im a complete rooke, but “building” it as a snap was fairly easy with only these buildpackages in the yaml file:
build-packages:
- python3-pip
- python3-setuptools
- python3-dev

I think this does not mean a lot but you know the application, so you could go on from that…

you know the application

Actually I don’t, I’m just curious to try it but I’m struggling with getting the Docker image to fly.
If I can’t get the Docker image to work, what hope do I have for snapping it myself?
