Builds SeaweedFS 4.48 from its upstream source release for x86_64 and aarch64. The package intentionally builds the upstream baseline feature set, with the sqlite, rclone, and gocdk optional Go build tags enabled. Go and Cargo dependencies are resolved from the versions pinned in the upstream go.sum and Cargo.lock files.

Package Commands

When updating SeaweedFS, generate the config scaffolds and refresh checksums:

ALPINE_PACKAGE=seaweedfs mise run apk:update-generated
ALPINE_PACKAGE=seaweedfs mise run apk:checksum

The refresh command generates every SeaweedFS scaffold configuration: admin, credential, filer, master, volume, notification, replication, security, and shell.

Build:

ALPINE_PACKAGE=seaweedfs mise run apk:build

Install-test local build:

ALPINE_PACKAGE=seaweedfs SKIP_BUILD=1 mise run apk:test-install

Configure Services

Runtime paths:

/usr/bin/weed
/etc/seaweedfs/*.toml
/etc/conf.d/seaweedfs.*
/etc/init.d/seaweedfs.*

Edit /etc/conf.d/seaweedfs.<role> for flags. The package supplies a small set of safe defaults in /etc/seaweedfs/; the complete upstream-generated scaffold configs are available at:

/usr/share/doc/seaweedfs/examples/

Copy and customize a scaffold file only when enabling its related feature.

Enable services:

rc-update add seaweedfs.master default
rc-service seaweedfs.master start

rc-update add seaweedfs.volume default
rc-service seaweedfs.volume start

rc-update add seaweedfs.filer default
rc-service seaweedfs.filer start

# Optional: Lance table maintenance (requires a Lance namespace endpoint)
apk add seaweedfs-worker-lance-openrc
