Ubuntu - Install Seafile Client

Seafile is Dropbox on steroids and the best part of it is that you control everything and aren't parking your data on someone else's servers. Below are the commands to install the client on Ubuntu

Ubuntu 20.04 - PPA

sudo wget https://linux-clients.seafile.com/seafile.asc -O /usr/share/keyrings/seafile-keyring.asc \
  && sudo bash -c "echo 'deb [arch=amd64 signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/seafile-keyring.asc] https://linux-clients.seafile.com/seafile-deb/focal/ stable main' > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/seafile.list" \
  && sudo apt update \
