scegg Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 Hi.I installed btsync on my ubuntu x86. After I set device name in btsync website (8888), the device name is saved and sync to all other devices. But after I reboot this server, device name is restored to the original name -- the computer name.How to save it permanently?Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bibby Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 My device name sticks after editing (and continuing to use) a config file.The process is described on the bottom of the Getting Started page.I was hoping that changes made through the web interface would be written back to that file, but that doesn't appear to be the case.

MRACHINI Posted April 27, 2013 Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 you have to change the hostname if you are not using a config file Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRACHINI Posted April 27, 2013 Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 (edited) here is how to change the hostname, but i recommend to use a config file.http://www.subvs.co....e_computer_name./BTSync --config sync.confand put this in the sync.conf file:{"device_name": "Name your device","check_for_updates" : true,"webui" :{"listen" : "0.0.0.0:8888","login" : "username","password" : "password"},"shared_folders" :[]}well if you dont want to use username and password just comment them with // at the beginning of the line Edited April 27, 2013 by MRACHINI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
