wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mhmdali94/Docker/main/files/seaweedfs/seaweedfs-ubuntu.sh

3 Run the Installer

The script installs Docker if needed and runs chrislusf/seaweedfs with the command 'server -dir=/data -s3 -s3.port=8333', which starts the master, volume, filer, and S3 gateway in a single container.

sudo bash seaweedfs-ubuntu.sh
