  3. Latest desktop build 2.7.2

    in Sync General Discussion

    Posted

    I realize we all want the lastest options available, and it would be nice to see some updates so we get reassured that Resilio Sync is not abandoned. But for me Resilio Sync works without issues. I am not aware of bugs. I paid a onetime fee and have been using it for quite a few years.

    So if @Helen can reassure us that Resilio Sync will continue to be supported and is not abandoned, i am happy to keep on using it.

    It would be a lot easier to talk about Resilio Sync if the latest update wasn't almost 2 years old.

    I've stopped recommending it to people because its future seems to be in such doubt. I don't want to talk someone into using something that ends up being abandonware.

    +1  So far Resiliosync still works for me, but it would be nice to see some sigb of life again...

    I agree. I am a Sync Pro Home user with a small Windows Server that is kind of the family NAS, storing our photos, pictures and documents. I need nor want business functionality, business support, let alone business pricing. Yesterday I was using your product in a perfectly legal way and today all of a sudden I am not? That's cheating: it's changing the rules of the game after the match has started.

     

    i think so too

  9. Run Resiliosync as user on headless server

    in Sync General Discussion

    Posted

    I have read many threads and spent countless hours, but I never got Resiliosync to work properly as a specified on a headless server. This would make life easier because without this there are some permission issues.

    So i decided to have a look around and found Syncthing. They have the option to start syncthing with systemd as a specified user. By using this syncthing@.service systemd file

    [Unit]
      Description=Syncthing - Open Source Continuous File Synchronization for %I
      Documentation=man:syncthing(1)
      After=network.target
      Wants=syncthing-inotify@.service
       
      [Service]
      User=%i
      ExecStart=/usr/bin/syncthing -no-browser -no-restart -logflags=0
      Restart=on-failure
      SuccessExitStatus=3 4
      RestartForceExitStatus=3 4
       
      [Install]
     

    WantedBy=multi-user.target

     

    enable with: 

    systemctl enable syncthing@myuser.service
systemctl start syncthing@myuser.service

    Within 10 minutes I was up and running....................

    Now i do like Resiliosync and i do own a pro license so i wonder can i achive this with Resilio?

  14. An Unofficial Btsync Ubuntu/Debian Packaging Project Fork

    Works fine for me. Did you connect to the right port? Did you check with 'netstat -tap' on which ports sync is listening?

    There might be an issue with the server. It is in an remote location so I can 't access it this moment. I reinstalled the silvenga version but cannot access the webgui either. Port and everything should be ok since i have used it for a couple of years already.

    Just for reference (since there seem to be suggestions to the contrary in another thread). It's also easy to run the official package using different users.

    • Install the official package.
    • Install systemd.
    • Create the file /etc/systemd/system/btsync@.service: 
    
[Unit]
Description=BitTorrent Sync for %i

[Service]
Type=simple
User=%i
ExecStart=/usr/bin/btsync --nodaemon --config /home/%i/.sync/sync.conf
WorkingDirectory=/home/%i
Restart=always

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
    • You can now create a configuration file for your user in /home/<youruser>/.sync/sync.conf . There are some instructions in this blog post on how to do this: https://danieldk.eu/Posts/2015-10-18-erp.html (look at the 'per-user configuration' section).
    • You can now start/stop/restart and permanently enable the service for a specific user: 
    
sudo systemctl start btsync@<youruser>.service
sudo systemctl stop btsync@<youruser>.service
sudo systemctl restart btsync@<youruser>.service
# Get the status for the service
sudo systemctl status btsync@<youruser>.service
# Permanently enable
sudo systemctl enable btsync@<youruser>.service

    The nice thing about this approach is that it works for any number of users, just fill in the user name in the <youruser> part. E.g. our Raspberry at home has BTSync instances running for me and my wife, under different users.

     

    Tried to install it with these options, btsync starts ok, but i can not access the web gui. So i went back to silvenga/tuxpoldo version.

    I tried to switch from tuxpoldo's (silvenga)  linux repository to the official linux package but i get some errors during install:

  21. Debian And Ubuntu Server Unofficial Packages For Bittorrent Sync

    in Sync General Discussion

    Posted

    I gave up on using Launchpad. I've uploaded the packages (including ARM) to my private repository -  http://deb.silvenga.com. 

    # Add my signing keyapt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 992A3C9A3C3DE741# Add the btsync repositoryadd-apt-repository "deb http://deb.silvenga.com/btsync any main"

    Please check them out. :D

     

     

    It should work without modifications. Btsync 2.2.1 fixes the configuration issues reported earlier (which is included in the above packages). 

     

    Great, thanks, works perfectly

  22. Debian And Ubuntu Server Unofficial Packages For Bittorrent Sync

    I used Btsync some time ago, but stopped when it began a subscription model. With the creation of the one-payment option I thought I would try Btsync again. Seeing that the official-unofficial packages have become a bit stale, I attempted to build my own based on the work of @tuxpoldo - upgrading along the way. 

     

    So, until Mr. Moll upgrades his packages, I'm maintaining a personal fork of his repository here: https://github.com/Silvenga/btsync-deb. I'll use it for my own deployments, but anyone is free to check them out. The binaries are published to Canonical's repositories on the PPA's: https://launchpad.net/~silvenga/+archive/ubuntu/btsync

     

    I've only tested btsync 2.2.1 under Ubuntu Trusty 64-bit in headless mode, but I don't anticipate any issues on other Debian based operating systems. I can add other Ubuntu distributions or CPU architectures if there's a want. 

     

    Cheers!

     

    Thanks! Saves me a lot of time each update.

    Forgot to ask can you add for arm cpu?

    First of all please think about that Tuxpoldo did that for the community and within his free time. He does not have any commercial connection to Bittorrent. So i'm very thankfull to use his repo as i started with BTsync. Of course it would be nice to have the latest update but on the other hand i don't expect Tuxpoldo to update it frequently if i consider the background if his work.

     

    On the other hand i'm asking me why Bittorrent does not do that job and release an official repo? They should be interested in it to support the community and taking care that everybody can update his BTsync on time.

     

    So why not asking Bittorrent to create an repo to support us?

     

    I agree on this. Tuxpoldo has been very helpful and dedicated. But we can't expect him to continue this forever. He might not even use BTsync himself anymore.

    Bittorrent should step in and takeover if tuxpoldo agrees with that.

    The topics most read on this forum are probably the instructions on how to use tuxpoldo's repo!
