What is Seafile?
Self-host Seafile for file storage and sync. Deploy on Hostwares in one click — dedicated CPU, RAM and SSD, plus automatic HTTPS and backups. Self-hosting Seafile on Hostwares gives you a private instance on dedicated resources — CPU, RAM and NVMe you chose — with automatic HTTPS, backups and scaling when you need it. Unlike SaaS, your data stays on infrastructure you control.

What you get with managed Seafile
Every Seafile instance includes the Hostwares platform — not just the container.
One-click deploy
Seafile is provisioned, configured and started for you. No compose file to write, no ports to wire up — Hostwares pulls the seafile image and wires storage.
SSL included
Every Seafile deployment gets HTTPS automatically, on a free hostwares.app subdomain or your own domain with auto-renewing Let's Encrypt.
Dedicated resources
Seafile runs on the CPU, RAM and SSD of the pack you pick — not squeezed onto a shared box with everyone else. Resize when you need more.
Full container access
It is your container: exec into Seafile, read files, tail logs and set environment variables whenever you need to.
Status and logs
Start, stop and restart Seafile from the dashboard and read real container logs when something misbehaves.
Managed by HW
Ask our AI to deploy Seafile, change its settings or debug it — from the dashboard, the CLI, or Claude and Cursor over MCP.
Seafile pricing
Seafile runs on a standard resource pack, the same ones that power sites and databases. Pick the size it needs.
