I finally got the danged thing to work. Forgot that xfs on cent7 doesn't support the overlay2 d_type dependency. So, what I did as root was the following. created 2 ext4 lv's. moved everything in /var/lib/docker to one and mounted it up on /var/lib/docker. the other was blank and I mounted it up on /opt/seafile-data. That got it to start. The root webpage doesn't have a redirect, so you have to poke around a bit. http:///accounts/login/ if the d_type thing is your problem, it'll be hanging around in your journald logs.
