Hello,
I've run into this problem already a couple of times: whenever I re-install a machine (running on Debian or Ubuntu), I first backup all the keys, then re-add all the folder after installation. Kind of tedious, given the fact that the data storage has not changed... I thought, it would be enough to backup
/etc/resilio-sync/
/var/lib/resilio-sync/
... and copy these folders back after re-installation Resilio Sync. Unfortunately, I'm greeted with the first-time installation dialog asking me to create a new user for the web-ui, which indeed does create a new .SyncUserXXXXXXXXXX in /var/lib/resilio-sync/ .
I've been really scratching my head on how to just let Resilio Sync pick up the existing profile? Why doesn't it recognize the existing profile and wants to create a new one?
I'm aware of this thread, but it didn't help or I didn't understand how it would apply to my situation.
Thanks!
Additional information: I've not changed any standard storage paths, i.e. /etc/resilio-sync/config.json points to:
"storage_path" : "/var/lib/resilio-sync/",
