Introduction

Seafile is a powerful, open-source file syncing and sharing platform that provides an alternative to commercial cloud storage services. When deploying Seafile in a production environment, you’ll typically want to place it behind a reverse proxy like Traefik to handle SSL termination, routing, and additional security features.

In this guide, I’ll walk you through the exact Traefik configuration needed to properly expose Seafile 12 to the internet. This setup handles all three essential components of Seafile: the web interface, the file transfer service (seafhttp), and WebDAV access (seafdav).
