It will work, but I'd give him the primary group users as OMV allows write access to it's shares to this group by default.
Here is the beginning of a install script:
Code
SEAFILE_USER=seafile
SEAFILE_HOME=/opt/seafile
USE_FASTCGI="false"
FASTCGI_PORT=8000
useradd -m -d ${SEAFILE_HOME} -c "Seafile Service Account" -s /usr/sbin/nologin -r ${SEAFILE_USER}
su -s /bin/bash ${SEAFILE_USER}
cd
wget https://bintray.com/artifact/download/seafile-org/seafile/seafile-server_5.1.3_x86-64.tar.gz
tar zxf seafile-server_5.1.3_x86-64.tar.gz
# some more to come
exit
cat > /etc/init.d/seafile-server <<'EOF'
