BtbN Posted May 8, 2013 Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 I'm using gentoo, so i made an ebuild + init script for btsync.If someone wants to use it, it's on my overlay: http://git.btbn.de/gentoo-overlay.git/tree/net-p2p/btsyncIt has an init-script and conf.d file, so you can start btsync as system daemon on startup.The configuration file for the system daemon resides in /etc/btsync.confYou have to configure the user(most likely your normal system user) as which btsync is run in /etc/conf.d/btsyncThe only real important setting is the pidfile, as the init system relies on it to be created in the right place, so don't change the preset path.

bobwya Posted May 13, 2013 Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 Thanks - it seems to be working well for me!! I love the speed of LAN syncs and no storage restrictions...Goodbye to the crappy Google Drive, Wuala, Dropbox, etc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chymera Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 Hey there, I also wrote an ebuild for Btsync - concentrating on getting systemd support right. My build has some attempted init.d support in it, but as I do not use init.d on any of my machines, I have no idea whether it works. I will try to follow your example to ensure that my ebuild properly supports init.d. You could also pull from me for systemd support. My ebuild is here, and I also wrote this nice tutorial/description for how my ebuild deals with systemd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
