Seafile with hubic underneath

BarisBaris Member

Hi,
did anybody try to run seafile with hubic underneath so that every file given to seafile will be saved to a hubic mount, ideally using hubic as a space extender? Will this work?

Comments

  • No, but we have customers who run Seafile with our ObjSpace service (http://www.delimiter.com/landingpage/objspace/) similar concept but faster platform.

    Hubic doesn't have first part mount option. You'll need to use third party solution like hubicfuse which was not very stable from my experience. I heard some negative reviews about Seafile that it may corrupt badly on unstable filesystems. I wouldn't really dare trying your idea.

    Your objspace is too much for my purpose. I digitalized all my family pictures and videos the last six months step by step in my freetime plus other pictures and videos from the digital cam era. I have two backups offline (in seperate locations) and want a third backup online which I would like to share over seafile with my other family members, giving them the option to complete the collection. The host machine is a 1,99 Euro server from online.net and I lack hard disk space. Overall I need roughly over 1 TB of space with the possibility to scale upwards. Your objspace is fitting my technical needs pefectly, but I want to keep it lowcost. That's why I regarded hubic as an option. Pushing 1 TB upstream over my home connection is a real pain but luckily I was granted permission to use the full duplex 100mbit line at my workplace after hours.

    I experimented with hubicfuse when I tried to use hubic as offload space for a plex server running on a N2800 OVH machine. The experiment failed miserably because plex did not start the playback of a movie until hubicfuse would cache the complete file (each file 5-10 GB). My hope was that hubic might perform better with way smaller files like pictures and H.265 videos. With the price drop to 5 Euro per month for 10TB I thought that it might deserve a second chance. But your post makes me wonder if this is a good idea. I think I will try it in a non productive environment out of sheer curiosity but will settle with alternatives like time4vps (storage servers).

    I've tried hubicfuse(https://github.com/TurboGit/hubicfuse I think), setup worked for after messing around with it for some time, with Owncloud(not seafile obviously).

    I've had lots of fatal erros on owncloud's error log with hubic and timeouts.

    I don't know if its owncloud's fault(seems to have a lot of problems with server-side encryption on with external storage, like gdrive and dropbox).

    I also had lots of empty files and seemingly empty directories with owncloud on hubicfuse.

    I don't really recommend it with owncloud, but that's not what you're asking anyway.

    Also see http://www.lowendtalk.com/discussion/50019/hubicfuse-or-cloudfuse and http://mir7.ovh.net/ovh-applications/hubic/hubiC-Linux/

    What is your budget for this project?

  • @GM2015 said:

    I have setup hubicfuse underneath seafile and I make a test upload right now:

    As you can see upload speed is very poor. I see traffic spikes on the seafile machine up to 50mbit per second but after a picture is uploaded successfully it will idle for a long time before getting the next picture.

    My budget is not very high. I need 2TB of space. I favour the 2TB storage server from time4vps right now. Paid anually I have a price of 3 Euro per 1 TB of space per month.
