How to set sync_trash_ttl on Linux btsync?

[BeTheSync]

Hello,

I have a Synology NAS with btsync 1.1.48 and its working Web-GUI.

How can I set up the "sync_trash_ttl", which I read about in the unofficial FAQ? => How long are files kept in .SyncTrash/.SyncArchive for?

On Windows or Mac its simple, but I did not found an "Advanced"-Prefs in the Settings from the Web-GUI.

Any hint would be nice :-)

Thank You!

BeTheSync!

You can add the line:

"sync_trash_ttl" : 30,

...to your config file

Before trying out : would it be possible to do on a per syncfolder base? Or is it a global setting?

sync_trash_ttl is currently a global setting

Hi and thanks. Where would I find the configfile on the synology NAS? I guess, its not editable via the WebGUI?

If you didn't build a config file yet....use the command "btsync --dump-sample-config > configfile" to get started

Thank you for pointing this out to me!

The generated configfile looks like the one, I found now, but I wasn't sure, because on the NAS there is also a binary settings.dat file.

So for all synology Users, this is the default config file created by the SynoCommunity

cat /volume1/@appstore/btsync/var/sync.conf

{
"device_name": "YOUR_SERVERNAME",
"storage_path" : "/usr/local/btsync/var",
"pid_file" : "/usr/local/btsync/var/syncapp.pid",
"webui" :
{
"listen" : "0.0.0.0:8888",
"login" : "admin",
"password" : "YOUR_PASSWORD"
}

How do I set ttl to more than 1 year or infinity?

The dpkg-reconfigure btsync command doesn't allow me to enter a period larger than 1 year and the conf file is overwritten on every update, so manual changes are erased.
