Seafile
Self-hosted file sync with library-level organisation.
Not yet tested live Compile-verified; no live server reached yet
What Mountit does with it
- Mount
- Read and write, in Finder
- Offline cache
- Metadata cache, read-ahead and write-back — the same volume stack as every other service
- Encryption layer
- Available on this connection: client-side, rclone-compatible crypt over the data before it leaves your Mac
- Editions
- Both. Either edition mounts it through File Provider, so it appears in Finder — and, on Standard, in the Files app on iPad and Vision Pro
Limits
What Seafile cannot do, read from the app's own service_traits() — the same answer its connection picker shows
before you connect, not a judgement typed onto this page.
- A move is a copy, then a delete
- This service has no server-side rename, so renaming or moving a file copies the bytes to the new name and only then deletes the old one — that order, so an interrupted move leaves your file where it was rather than nowhere. What it costs is a full transfer of the bytes, which is worth knowing before you drag a large folder.
The engineering ledger does not list Seafile among the
services run against a real server, so this page does not claim it was. That is
read out of docs/BACKEND-COVERAGE.md in the app repository when
this site is built — the build fails rather than let this page claim more than
the ledger does.
The conformance record
No lane yet. No server has been stood up to run the corpus against this service, so there is no record to publish. That is the honest answer, not a pending one. Every service’s standing, side by side.
Seafile questions
Can Mountit mount Seafile?
Yes — Seafile is one of the 38 services selectable in the app. It mounts read-write, with the same cache, read-ahead and write-back as every other service.
What we will not do is claim it works before it does: this page carries the ledger’s evidence level for Seafile, and it changes the day the evidence does.
Which edition do I need?
Either — this service is in both editions. The difference is the surrounding app, not the protocol: Mountit Pro is the unsandboxed build with the block protocols; Standard is the Mac App Store build, and on iPad and Vision Pro every service appears in the Files app. Both mount this service through File Provider.
