Use from command line about seafile

[Bomfunk]

Is it possible already?

[freeplant]

It will be done soon. Since we will use this feature for auto-testing in the coming version 1.4.

Is this an issue for a cli only client ?
It seems the current unix client requires X for the applet GUI.
And I'd like to use seafile client on several headless servers for e.g dotfiles syncing.

[freeplant]

@tobeportable, Yes, a cli only client.

[freeplant]

Done

I've been trying this with https://github.com/haiwen/seafile/wiki/Seafile-CLI-client but it seems i need to have the rest api enabled in someway.

[freeplant]

Yeah, need server version 1.5, will be available in next week.

[tobeportable]

This is so great.
I'd like to contribute to the doc some more however i don't know how to
fork the wiki.
This is still fine but I could set you up a sinatra with github markdown
rendering so you could host the docs on seafile.com if that's of any use.

You don't need to fork the wiki. The github wiki is editable for everyone.

Will it be possible to compile it for a linux machine without xorg?

[freeplant]

OK. A compilation option will be added.

[Bomfunk]

Thanks!
But a few more questions:

1. You said we'll need server version 1.5, did you mean client version? Because I thought this issue is about client.
2. Will the 1.5 version be available as released package or just as sources yet?

[freeplant]

You need server version 1.5. A new REST api is added to the server which is need by the seaf-cli.

We will not publish a stand alone seafile cli client. If you need an seafile cli without Xorg, you have to compile it your self.

[tobeportable]

As it is right now the seaf-cli is just an executable python file that serves as a cli, why would you need to compile this anyway...

[freeplant]

Seaf-cli is only an interface to Ccnet daemon and Seafile daemon, which are written in C.
