Since the release of the Seafile App (Seadroid) v3.x there were reports related to problems with file uploads or sharing inside the app.

The so-called Developer Tools in the @mozilla Firefox browser are extremely helpful to debug application code and #HTTP errors.

Long-time #Firefox users may have noticed a change in the "Edit and Resend" function. In the past, the request headers could be modified - they are now greyed out.

But with a small configuration change, the old behaviour of "Edit and Resend" can be enabled again. This allows to modify the request headers before re-sending the request.

In our latest #tutorial post we show how.

Modern motherboards expect #UEFI drives to boot from.

For legacy drives without an ESP (EFI System Partition) there is usually a legacy/compatibility mode in the BIOS options.

If the CSM (Compatibility Support Module) on ASUS and MSI motherboards remains disabled, a completely different (and not obvious) reason could be behind it.

When starting a Docker #container, this uses a so-called "#Docker Image" in the background. These images can be built on top of each other (called layers).

An image can be created from yet another image, potentially resulting in many many layers.

To extract files and directories from all these layers, there's some patience and wizardry needed.

Or you use our #HowTo which shows a really nice helper script doing all the work for you. 👇
