Enabling Api On A Non-Config-File Setup

[nweeks]

Hi all,

 

I've got a HEAP of folders syncing beautifully between many machine, and I'd like to add API functionality to one machine for monitoring / automated adding of folders.

 

By the looks of it, I need to:

 

do a `btsync --dump-sample-config`

 

manually re-add all 438 shared folders in the JSON structure,

Add the storage location to switch on the API.

 

This isn't really going to work.

 

is there any way I can run a `btsync --dump-running-config` instead?

 

Please say yes. Pleeeeease...

 

(Or, is there a way of adding the required flag to the '.sync/settings.dat' ?)

 

Nige.

You don't need to dump a sample config, just start Sync with a very basic config file.

 

For example, on Windows, to enable to API, simply create a config file with the following:

{   "storage_path" : "/Users/username/AppData/Roaming/BitTorrent Sync",   "use_gui" : true,   "webui" : {        "listen" : "0.0.0.0:8888",        "login" : "username",        "password" : "password",        "api_key" : "your_api_key"    }}

Phew! That worked a treat!

 

Thanks man!
