Seafile Python API

This tutorial show you how to use seafile-api, and will accomplish a "library copy" work under Ubuntu as example.

Install Seafile Server

First of all, make sure you have Download and Setup Seafile Server successfully. And your directory layout will be like this:

# tree . -L 3
.
├── ccnet
│   ├── ccnet.conf
│   ├── ......
│......
├── seafile-server-3.0.3
│   ├── seafile
│   ├── seafile.sh
│   ├── seahub
│   ├── seahub.sh
│   ├── setup-seafile.sh
│   ├── upgrade
│       ├── README
│       ├── seaf_migrate_3.py
│       ├── seaf_migrate_3.sh
│       ├── ......
│   ├── ......
│......

Example: Copy Library

In this example, two script files will be used: seaf_migrate_3.sh and seaf_migrate_3.py. We put them in the upgrade directory as you see above.

Set Environment Variable

If you want use Seafile-API, set environment variable first. That"s what seaf_migrate_3.sh does:

1. get ccnet/seafile config file path and export them;
2. export Python path;
3. call seaf_migrate_3.py.

Example code

#!/bin/bash

#get path of ccnet.conf
SCRIPT=$(readlink -f "$0") # haiwen/seafile-server-3.0.3/upgrade/seaf_migrate_3.sh
UPGRADE_DIR=$(dirname "$SCRIPT") # haiwen/seafile-server-3.0.3/upgrade/
INSTALLPATH=$(dirname "$UPGRADE_DIR") # haiwen/seafile-server-3.0.3/
TOPDIR=$(dirname "${INSTALLPATH}") # haiwen/
default_ccnet_conf_dir=${TOPDIR}/ccnet

#get path of seafile.conf
function read_seafile_data_dir () {
    seafile_ini=${default_ccnet_conf_dir}/seafile.ini
    if [[ ! -f ${seafile_ini} ]]; then
        echo "${seafile_ini} not found. Now quit"
        exit 1
    fi
    seafile_data_dir=$(cat "${seafile_ini}")
    if [[ ! -d ${seafile_data_dir} ]]; then
        echo "Your seafile server data directory "${seafile_data_dir}" is invalid or doesn"t exits."
        echo "Please check it first, or create this directory yourself."
        echo ""
        exit 1;
    fi

    export SEAFILE_CONF_DIR=$seafile_data_dir
}

export CCNET_CONF_DIR=${default_ccnet_conf_dir}
read_seafile_data_dir;

export PYTHONPATH=${INSTALLPATH}/seafile/lib/python2.6/site-packages:${INSTALLPATH}/seafile/lib64/python2.6/site-packages:${INSTALLPATH}/seafile/lib/python2.7/site-packages:${INSTALLPATH}/seahub/thirdpart:$PYTHONPATH
export PYTHONPATH=${INSTALLPATH}/seafile/lib/python2.7/site-packages:${INSTALLPATH}/seafile/lib64/python2.7/site-packages:$PYTHONPATH

function usage () {
    echo "Usage: `basename $0` <repo-id>"
    echo "exit."
    exit 1
}
if [ $# != 1 ]; then
    usage
fi

python seaf_migrate_3.py $1

NOTE:You can get repo_id at address bar of Seahub or through Seafile web API

Copy Library

Then seaf_migrate_3.py will call Seafile-API to copy library:

1. Get library ID from input.
2. Get origin_repo object.
3. Create a new library, set name, desc and owner.
4. Copy stuffs from old library to new library.

Example code

#!/usr/bin/env python

import os
import stat
import sys
from seaserv import seafile_api

def count_files_recursive(repo_id, path="/"):
    num_files = 0
    for e in seafile_api.list_dir_by_path(repo_id, path):
        if stat.S_ISDIR(e.mode):
            num_files += count_files_recursive(repo_id,
                                               os.path.join(path, e.obj_name))
        else:
            num_files += 1
    return num_files

#Get library ID from input
origin_repo_id = sys.argv[1]

#Get origin_repo object
origin_repo = seafile_api.get_repo(origin_repo_id)
username = seafile_api.get_repo_owner(origin_repo_id)

#Create a new library, set name, desc and owner
new_repo_id = seafile_api.create_repo(name=origin_repo.name,
                                      desc=origin_repo.desc,
                                      username=username, passwd=None)

#Copy stuffs from old library to new library
dirents = seafile_api.list_dir_by_path(origin_repo_id, "/")
for e in dirents:
    print "copying: " + e.obj_name
    obj_name = e.obj_name
    seafile_api.copy_file(origin_repo_id, "/", obj_name, new_repo_id, "/",
                          obj_name, username, 0, 1)

print "*" * 60
print "OK, verifying..."
print "Origin library(%s): %d files. New Library(%s): %d files." % (
    origin_repo_id[:8], count_files_recursive(origin_repo_id),
    new_repo_id[:8], count_files_recursive(new_repo_id))
print "*" * 60

If you execute script file successfully, you will see these output, and of course a new library at myhome page of Seahub.
