n8n-nodes-seafile-lazy

This is a fork of the original n8n-nodes-seafile community node, maintained by Sergey Shinkarenko. The repository is available at [email protected]:shaman-rostov/n8n-nodes-seafile.git.
The main improvement in this fork is the Seafile Lazy node, which lazy-loads folder and file pickers via resource locators instead of eagerly fetching the entire library tree. This makes the node much faster and more responsive when working with large Seafile libraries.
About this node
The Seafile Lazy node allows you to automate work in Seafile, and integrate Seafile with other applications. It supports uploading and downloading files, creating upload and download links, and tagging files in a Seafile library, with folder and file selection resolved on demand instead of upfront.
How to use Seafile Lazy in n8n
Currently, n8n is not shipped with this Seafile node. Therefore an installation of the community module is required.
Credentials / Authentication
To authenticate this Seafile node for n8n against a Seafile Server, you will have to provide two information:
- Seafile Server URL: The URL of the Seafile server. This should be the base URL of the Seafile instance you want to connect to.
- Account Token: The Account Token is required to authenticate every requests and allows interacting with the Seafile API. The account token has to be generated with your login credentials upfront. Read more at https://seafile-api.readme.io/reference/post_api2-auth-token.
The Library/Repo API Token is not supported because it supports only a limited amount of endpoints.
Installation of a this community node
- Open your n8n server.
- Go to Settings > Community Nodes.
