I am new to Resilio sync, but I would really hope that it works to search in enclosed subfolders :-) Is this really not working? Could this not be added?

Dear Tuxpoldo, I deleted my comment as it was purely ReadyNAS related and has nothing to do with this post. KR, Chris

Dear all I am using btsync constantly and it's a great software. Thanks a lot for the cool program. I need a bit of help in order to make the access to the WebGUI of a linux btsync client encrypted with SSL. Is there any howto, how this might be possible? I only found something for nginx, but I don't know nginx at all. Currently I am trying the following: on my domain example.com I want to use the subdomain bit.example.com to access the btsync webgui. I tried to keep it simple So without SSL I did this in my /etc/apache2/sites-available: <VirtualHost *:80> ServerName bit.example.com Redirect permanent / http://bit.example.com:8888 </VirtualHost> This works for http. Now I want to try it with https, so I did this: <VirtualHost *:80> ServerName bit.example.com Redirect permanent / https://bit.yna.cc:8888 </VirtualHost> And added the certificates my SSL sites-available config file: <VirtualHost *:8888> ServerName bit.example.com SSLEngine On SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache2/certs/bit.example.com/ssl.crt SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/apache2/certs/bit.example.com/ssl.key </VirtualHost> I also tried the same, listening on port 443. But I only get error messages that there is an internal server problem. Can someone point me into the right direction what I have to do here? Every support would be very much appreciated, KR, Chris

Dear Forum Al my osx keynote files (.key) are being deleted right away by bittorent sync client and are moved to the .SyncArchive. Does anyone experience something similar and/or can let me know if this is a bug or a feature? KR, Chris (BTsync 1.2.68, OSX Mavericks)

Hi Tuxpoldo I see !!! I just did add-apt-repository ppa:tuxpoldo/btsync Unfortunately I have no clue how to add the repository on Debian then. I am lost with these commands: Those .list files were created in sources.list.d but it seems that with apt-get update tis not taking them into account. btsync.list tuxpoldo-btsync-wheezy.list tuxpoldo-btsync-wheezy.list.save (I know this is just me being an amatuer, so sorry to waste everyones time...) EDIT: The solution was to comment out the repository from READYNAS. Then apt-get install btsync used the tuxpoldo repository. All happy! Thanks for everyones patience.

Dear Tuxpoldo I am trying to install btsync on a ReadyNAs from Netgear, which is basically a full wheezy debian. Unfortunately the following happens: This means that btsync is also provided from Readynas, but a very old version (1.1.48). Do you know how I can force the NAS to install it from your repository? It's not really related to your product, but I would appreciate a lot any help KR, Christoph Edit: After another apt-get update I get this: Is that the issue?

Just to confirm: The version for osx from this site: http://syncapp.bittorrent.com/1.1.70/ is still Version 1.1.69 (1.1.69). That's because the "Gui-Bug" only affected the Linux version which was updated and the mac version has not been corrected so it stayed 1.1.69, right? Or should there be a 1.170 osx version? KR, CK

Thanks Kos!

Hello all, Quick question: was that bug only in 1.1.30 or also in 1.1.27. Sorry if I missed that info in the text, am just on mobile and try to figure out if I have to rush updating ;-)

Thanks a lot tuxpoldo I thought that when the config file is being read by the application that the commented (//) lines were always ignored. I just learned that this is not true and obviously when reading you explanation in the files now again then it all makes sense and you said it from the beginning. I tried it with www-data and it starts and works. Thanks a lot again. I think I can take it from here! ;-)

Hello tuxpoldo Thanks a lot for all the work you put into this and the way how you already helped so many users! This is really very much appreciated by many I am sure and certainly by myself! I am running your repository successfully and would like to now run another btsync instance with different user permissions. It's going to be "www-data" to being able to use btsync in combination with my owncloud installation. I am running 12.04 precise headless server. I am looking at the sample config file "user-new.conf", but can't understand where you put the parameters DAEMON_UID and DAEMON_UMASK as you describe in your comments in the file. all I see is: { "device_name": "John Doe's btsync Server", "listening_port" : 0, "storage_path" : "/home/jdoe/.btsync", "check_for_updates" : false, "use_upnp" : false, "download_limit" : 0, "upload_limit" : 0, "webui" : { }, "shared_folders" : [ { "secret" : "bGTbrwreXPW4XxHEmTKnX", "dir" : "/home/jdoe/syncdir", "use_relay_server" : true, "use_dht" : false, "search_lan" : true, "use_sync_trash" : true } ] } I hoped you might be able to point me into the right direction? Thanks a lot in advance! KR, Chris

Hi LazyWolf Thanks a lot for your help. I ran into some problems and am now trying to follow the apporach of tuxpoldo which allows to run different instances of btsync based on different users. I will go on asking my questions there. ;-) Thanks for all already!

Did run it in an init.d. I get an error message when i run Sudo service btsync start: "Can't open pid file /home/user/.btsync/btsync.pid. Permission denieduser@server:/etc/init.d$" Can you give ma another hint on what to do now?

Thanks a lot, Lightning! For now i get : su: unrecognized option '--config' So it didn't work when i run it directly in the command line. I will try it as an init...

Hi xkiter I also tried to use BTsync as the owncloud sync client instead of the original one. The problem that accurs is this as far as I am concerned: Go to the folder where your owncloud data folder is in (e.g. for /home/user/data) /home/user/ and ls -l it: drwxrwx--- 7 www-data www-data 4096 Jul 8 14:49 data Now go to the folder that is being synced by BTsync: /home/user/data/oc-user/files and type ls -l. inside that folder I have a synced folder (syncfolder) and the permissions are: drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Jul 8 15:15 syncfolder. That's because BTsync is running as root on my machine. Is that the same for you? Then we should just run BTSync as www-data as "Lighting" is proposing. Can someone explain me how this is done? Probably not really a btsync issue, more a linux isssue... Anyways, would be glad if someone could help! I hope the above makes sense... Kind Regards, CK
