It is still work in progress. I gave access via ACL like this: setfacl -R -m u:rslsync:rX /etc/letsencrypt/{live,archive}/server.domain.tld setfacl -R -m g:rslsync:rX /etc/letsencrypt/{live,archive}/server.domain.tld and added into the `webui` section of the `config.json`: ,"ssl_certificate" : "/etc/letsencrypt/live/server.domain.tld/fullchain.pem" ,"ssl_private_key" : "/etc/letsencrypt/live/server.domain.tld/privkey.pem" but HTTPS is not working. Where could I find hints, why the certificate and the key are not accepted / working?

Believe it or not: I am still trying to get the Let's Encrypt certificates working. 🙈 I did not want to interfere with Let's Encrypt, therefore I did not dare to fiddle around with a new group or filesystem ACL. Regarding your suggestion: How would I use Apache as local proxy? This might be a nice workaround.

@Helen thank you very much, I will look deeper into it and maybe eventually contact support!

Does nobody have an idea how to tune the settings or to speed up things? Or am I really the only person that struggles with a 50 gig sync?!

I have two NAS and a dedicated Server, each running an instance. Both NAS have a dyndns.org address, the server has a fixed IP. The initial upload of roughly 50 GB from the NAS to the server took a while, but was still okay. I attached the second NAS and wanted to download a read only instance to that device, but the process (although downloading from the server should be fast) takes ages (300.000 files to go, roughly one file per minute - don't do the math ...). I wondered, whether I could tune the process somehow, so that the initial amount of files would be downloaded faster. Both NAS seem to be resource-wise at the edge: when I start Sync on either of those, the CPU rushes up to 90 % and the memory also seems to be at 80 % and up all the time. I always thought that Resilio Sync is clever enough to not grab too much resources, so that the Web GUI keeps responding and that it tries to allocate least resources while it is downloading at the highest available speed. I know that NAS devices are not performance monsters, but this still seems to much resource utilization in my eyes. Unfortunately I do not know, how to analyze the behaviour of the instances, whether they run into some problem, which should be fixed. I even do not know whether it is helpful to restart the instances now and then in order to have a little boost in download speed. What irritates me from time to time (this is rather off-topic, but I though I mention it) is, that I have to enter the default download location from time to time ... which could mean, that the instance is too slow to read its configuration files properly maybe? I would be very glad to know, how I could analyze the two instances, do some health checks and to tweak them, so that they do not have a problem with, say, 500k files / 100 GB. Any idea is welcome!

DSM 6.2, Resilio 2.4.x - upgraded to 2.5.x now.

It also worked for me after an upgrade ... although I have to admit that there might have been a "parallel side effect": I started a sync job with 50 GB - and my two NAS seem to have performance problems indexing and managing 50k of files ... that makes the Web UI not responding etc. I think there is nothing I could do about the performance. I started the sync job with a little portion and am now adding gig by gig ... does not make it any faster in the end, but at least worked for the first gigs.

Since my upgrade to Synology DSM 6.2 Resilio Sync behaves weirdly on my NAS. The GUI refuses to load and the instance is not displayed as available. Are there known incompatibilities? Any ways to fix this?

Hi, it would be awesome, if I could have either a tree structure for shared folders or tags on them. At the moment they are displayed lexicographically, but I would, for example, like to have the option to group folders, that I share with other persons, folders, that contain application setups, folders, that are topic-driven, folders, that are hardware-related etc. Just my two cents. Cheers, Vince

A portable version would be awesome. *bump*

Hi, I am running Sync on a NAS and on a Linux server. I would like to use a valid SSL certificate on both instances. Both systems have automated certificate renewal facilities, but of course they do not know anything about my running Sync instances and the certificate is owned by root in a different folder. First I thought, it might be a good idea to change certificate rights and to point sync.conf to the certificate - but this would yield a security issue. The next idea is to make a copy of the certificate into the folder, where the sync executable resides and to change the ownership. This can be done with a daily cron job. I presume that there is no option to get hold of the "original" certificate without having a security issue and that there is no clever built-in Let's Encrypt functionality in Sync? Any other suggestions?

yes, I do see the same "incompatibility warning" prior to the DSM update ... well, I will trust you and will install the update and manually install Bittorrent Sync afterwards ...

Sorry for some kind of cross posting: I do not dare to update my DSMs to 6.0.1-7393 as it says that Bittorrent Sync would no longer work (without giving any specific reason). Do I have to interpret this thread that BTSync is compatible after all? I kept updating my BTSync installations and hoped for some sign of compatibility, but did not get any. If you say that it is safe to do the DSM upgrade and then to manually install the most recent version, I would do so.

I also have the problem that I cannot upgrade my DSMs to 6.0.1-7393 - has the reason for the incompatibility meanwhile been found?

Hi, when turning on Selective Sync, all *new* files will be synced selectively. I would like to turn all already downloaded files into selectively syncable files. Deleting the files would result in the deletion on all other devices - undesirable side effect. Currently I think that disconnecting the folder, deleting the files and reconnecting the folder with enabled Selective Sync would be the only option. Any ideas on possible solutions? Cheers Vince
