  1. @RomanZ:

    As described by @Gorn in the first Post, Sync does not work anymore on the Raspberry Pi 1, ARMv6 Processor, armhf Raspbian/Arch Linux.
    Gorn tried it under Arch Linux and installed BTSync via "AUR" (Package manager, I suppose?) and by manually downloading from home page.

    I tried to run it under Raspbian, but neither installing it via apt-get, nor running the downloaded Version from your Homepage (2.3.8) did work.

    Tried installation just now, Debian 8.0 (Raspbian), Kernel Version 4.4.13+, Default user "pi":

    sudo apt-get install  btsync
    Reading package lists... Done

    :~ $ sudo journalctl -xn
    //Contains no entry related to btsync-service AT ALL
    

    Had to downloaded binaries again, because I already deleted them, negative results as well:

    For armhf version:

    :~/btsync/BitTorrent-Sync_armhf $ ll

    drwxr-xr-x 2 pi pi    4096 Sep  5 20:00 .

    :~/btsync/BitTorrent-Sync_armhf $ ./btsync
    Illegal instruction
    :~/btsync/BitTorrent-Sync_armhf $
    

    Okay, this is some unexpected and strange result:

    The arm Version seems to be running just fine?! Just checked, I am even able to add folders via Webinterface...

    :~/btsync/BitTorrent-Sync_arm $ ./btsync --webui.listen 0.0.0.0:8888

    Checking via "readelf -A /proc/self/exe | grep Tag_ABI_VFP_args" as described on https://blogs.oracle.com/jtc/entry/is_it_armhf_or_armel im running a armhf-System and should have used the armhf-binary? as you can see in the apt-get output it automatically selects the armhf-Version. I did some googling on architecture and arm/armhf, but those results made no sense to me at all or were not related to my situation...
     

    apt-get update selecting armhf packages:

    sudo apt-get update

    Would be grateful for some clarification...

    Thanks in advance!

  2. Hey there,

     

    the "new" encrypted Folder-Feature seems to be a neat integration into the overall Concept and UI, at the same time it looks exactly like the Beta-Feature available via API.

     

    There were "1.4"-indicators next to Folders using the old "key"/"secret"-based system - which is gone now. Seems to me like you decided to not integrate encrypted folders into the new certificate-based-system and instead just made the old 1.4-feature available to everybody?

     

    Are there any disadvantages we need to consider when using this feature, compared to usual certificate-based-folders?

  3. Hey everbody,

     

    I am keeping a bit up-to-date with those various solutions regarding File-Syncing out there.

     

    I was looking into how to get Sync running on my RaspberryPi running OpenELEC, and stumbled accross the fact that alternative products offer a way easier way.

     

    Would it be possible to offer an OpenELEC OS-Addon for BitTorrent Sync (or an Kodi-Addon, just like the BitTorrent one) for user-friendly installation? The average Linux user should be able to install Sync on a Linux machine, but there are a lot of people out there new to the Penguin-World and not as eager to learn new stuff then we might be ;-)

  4. Same Problem here, tried rebooting Android and Windows 8.1, but did not help.
    Excellent Internet Connection via WLAN at my University and via Mobile Network and SurfStick both did not work.

     

    I am going to try to connect this evening again^^

     

    edit: Well yeah, today those two devices linked within a few seconds. As far as I know I did not change anything.

  5. => 1) You could simply save the Read&Write-Secret from your Laptop (Textfile, stored on your Synology). If your Laptop dies and you have bought a new one, you can simply add the Read&Write-Secret saved earlyer and your Synology starts syncing.
    The ReadOnly-Secret allows you to receive and spread the files - but just the unmodified ones. If you change some files on your Synology via eg FTP, they will not be synced.

    => 3) Your Laptop would detect no changes, so there is nothing to propagate to your Sinology. It would not even know your Laptop rescaned its HDD.

    => 4) The rescan-interval is independent from the "rescan-network" interval. I assume BTSync is told by the OperatingSystem it got connected to a LAN, and starts looking for other BTSync-Devices (-> Synology) so it would need no more than a few seconds after connecting (At least my Laptop does need only a few seconds).

    => 2) I would say so... => Somebody got some verified information?

  6. Hello,

     

    I'd like to sync my Android-Pictures to my Laptop and an always-on-RaspberryPi.

    Following setup after creating Secrets via API:

     

    Laptop: ReadWrite

    Android: ReadWrite

    RasPi: EncryptedSecret

     

    For testing purposes I closed BTSync on my Laptop, and expected a transmission of pictures to my RasPi. But nothing happened.

     

    BTSync showed a connected Peer, even correctly displaying the amount of Data and the numbers of Files, but my Android-Phone just did not want to sync.

     

    I turned my Laptop on, and my Phone started syncing to my Laptop - which succesfully synced to the RaspberryPi. Turning my Laptop off after a while - sync from Android to RasPi wont continue.

     

    Adding the ReadWrite Secret to the RaspberryPi works like a charm - but other people have access to the attached storage as well, so I would like to store my pictures encrypted....

    Any Ideas?

     

    Just Reinstalled BTSync without Backup/Restore, did not help.

    FYI: I'm encountering the "App crashes regulary error" (Already discussed in some other topics) as well, before the reinstallation just as afterwards, stopped crashing when attached to a power source [did not].

     

    Thank you very much in advance

    Sincerely

    Dominik

     

    edit: after the reinstall BTSync on my RasPi does not receive the correct number of files anymore, on my Laptop it does.

    edit2: well, it does get the number of files after a while.... and even whilst crashing everytime, the backround-sync does work anyway

  7. You can share the new "link" (difference: if you share it with your mother-in-law she is kind of guided through the installation of btsync) with somebody, have more control over the expiration date, if someone posts the link into your facebook-timeline you have the ability to denie the requests of those friends of yours you dont want to have your secret.

     

    after you permitted somebodys request, they have the secret and can use it like they created it.

     

    the "centralized server" is just a website, checking if the recipient has btsync already installed, and then forwards the secret to btsync.

  8. Raspberry PI works fine here as well.

    I have on running at home, where BTSync stores files on my NAS (did not get BTS working on my NAS) and one at my parents, connected to their NAS. Those minor problems I get from time to time are not really BTS-related (e.g. not mounting the NAS on reboot).

     

    Yeah, the RPI might be slow, but if your internet connection is even slower, and your NAS is not the best as well, you dont really care :D

  9. @German Users:

     

    On most "FritzBox" Routers by AVM runs a modified Linux. Did anybody manage to get BTSync run on a FritzBox?

    You can gain access per Telnet/SSH to the Box, so that should propably work? New FritzBoxes have a USB-Port and support external Drives natively, so a lot of German Users could easyly get an always-on Client without any additional Hardware?

  10. You can simply add the "DCIM" Folder to BTSync, an share the folder to your computer by selecting a Folder and entering the same secret (Other way around is much easier: Create a new Folder on your Computer, click "Connect mobile", on your phone scan the QR-Code, select your DCIM Folder).

    Your photos will be synced between your Smartphone and your Computer, so when you delete them (or move them) on your computer they'll be deleted on your smartphone.

     

    Just works with Read/Write Secret.

  11. If you simply rename a folder, nothing is going to happen, except for the fact, that your BTSync-Client will not be able to sync the folder anymore - because that folder the Client is looking for does no longer exist.

    On all the other peers, nothing is goint to happen, they will sync just as they did before.

    To rename a folder, you can simply delete it from BTSync, rename it, and add it again with the same secret as before. Other peers won't even notice you renamed that folder.
