[Solved] Issue installing on Ubuntu 16.04 Headless server

[oleost]

Hi.

So I managed to get resilio sync installed following this guide: https://help.getsync.com/hc/en-us/articles/206178924-Installing-Sync-package-on-Linux

But when I come to the point where Im going to use it I'm having some issue.

Trying to follow this: https://help.getsync.com/hc/en-us/articles/204762449-Guide-to-Linux

But the issue is that since its headless server I cannot access the WEB ui locally and need to set the " ./rslsync --webui.listen 0.0.0.0:8888 " command to allow access from outside that computer.

 

Then the issue starts, I'm running resilio sync as rslsync user, seems to have some issue how to type in this command to get it running in that user instead of trying to configure it for root or my personal user?

 

Any ideas?

You don't need --webui.listen 0.0.0.0:8888// 
Instead stop service, as sudo edit the file /etc/resilio-sync/config.json, set "webui" : {"listen" : "0.0.0.0:8888"}  in there.  

After that , check that the service is indeed running, that it's indeed using the mentioned config, and that it's indeed listens on 0.0.0.0:8888 (best with "sudo netstat -anp | grep 8888")

Thank you, just what I was looking for.

After fixing up some permissions for the resilio user I got it working now.
