Multiple BitTorrentSync services running concurrently on Linux?

Hi all,

So I have btsync set up on my Linux box (basically a NAS).  I'm connecting from my PC via the Web GUI, everything is lovely.

My partner has an account on the same Linux box, and would like to use btsync to sync to their home folder.

How do I do this?  I think I need to run two btsync services on the box, each with a separate home folder, username/pw, and gui port.

 

Help?

 

Thanks,

Vandervecken

You can execute btsync even with the same user. To achieve that you create a seperate config file for each instance. Just do a "btsync --dump-sample-config" on console put the output into a seperate file, change the port of the webgui, maybe set a static listening port and change the name of the device. You should also change the location of the pid file.

Execute "btsync --config btsync-config-file". 

Thats it.

 

So long
