[Sync 2.x Command-Line Interface?]

@RomanZ

Thanks for your answer! I'll wait for the API to cover 2.0 features then, before updating my Docker/BTSync project.

[Sync 2.x Command-Line Interface?]

Hi, 

 

Are you going to provide a command-line interface for BTSync 2.0?

Or an API compatible with 2.0 folders? Or at least a way to deal with 2.0 folders with config file?

 

I love BitTorrent Sync. But I used to deploy peers using Docker containers, it was super easy. Now I can't sync the new folders (2.0) without going through the web GUI... In some use cases, it's not even an option.

 

Right now it seems like I have to keep working with 1.4 folders...

 

 

 

 

 

[How To Restart Btsync Correctly With Config File (Linux)]

Hi, 

 

Ok I did these 3 tests:

- Remove a folder from the config and restart

- Update a secret key for some folder in the config and restart

- Re-add folders that were removed and restart

 

And it works like a charm!

Note, that you have to remove folders from json config file, removing them in WebUI is not going to work.

 

 

I'm not using te webUI at all, so I had no issues.

I don't see any functional issues yet, just the message. 

And yes, the new identity pops up only when I clean up the storage folder (/usr/bin/.sync by default in my case)

I'll do more tests. 

 

Actually I was worrying about folders that wouldn't stop syncing if I remove them from the config.

As they are kept, registered somehow in the .sync folder files.

 

I'll run these tests:

- Remove a folder from the config and restart

- Update a secret key for some folder in the config and restart

- Re-add folders that were removed and restart

 

I'll tell you about the results! 

 

Thanks!

[How To Restart Btsync Correctly With Config File (Linux)]

Hi, 
 
I've been working on a little project lately. 
Basically I just run btsync with a configuration file.
 
But if I kill the process and update the configuration file (adding / removing shared folders), I get errors when restarting:

[20141217 01:46:09.646] SF[0087]: Loaded folder /sync2[20141217 01:46:09.646] Error while adding folder /sync2: Selected folder is already added to BitTorrent Sync.

Before, I used to remove .SyncID, but apparently this file is not being used anymore. 
 
I now have a  .sync folder in the shared folder containing:

ArchiveIDIgnoreListStreamsList

And another .sync folder in /usr/bin, containing:

8364B97367EEAC9418FB7B0FB1E45C80D1C92970.availability8364B97367EEAC9418FB7B0FB1E45C80D1C92970.dbhistory.dathistory.dat.oldsync.datsync.dat.oldsync.pidsettings.datsettings.dat.old

I tried to clean everything, removing both .sync folders. 
It works but it's then considered as a brand new peer as you can see:
 

 
I would like to clean everything but keep the peer identity if possible. 
 
What files should I remove?
Any other instructions I should follow?
 
Thanks!
