Sync without using webui

[Rostyslav]

Hello folks,

 

I've just started introduction with resilio sync.

I'm interesting in using such utility without webui at all. I have my laptop and VM both they are running on ubuntu x64.

I've already installed this utility, generated secret and distributed config among both instances. But couldn't start to sync.

It works well when I configured it trough webui. Here is my config below:

```

{
  "device_name": "ubuntu server",
  "listening_port" : 8888,
  "storage_path" : "/home/rossardy/sync/",
  "pid_file" : "/var/run/resilio-sync/sync.pid",
  "check_for_updates" : false,
  "use_upnp" : false,
  "download_limit" : 0,
  "upload_limit" : 0,
  "webui" : {
    "login" : "rossardy",
    "password" : "some_pass"
  },
  "shared_folders" :
  [
    {
      "secret" : "ANGAHRXFWUCB26EHFFSKS3R7FFEAPQWB2",
      "dir" : "/home/rossardy/sync/data/",
      "use_relay_server" : false,
      "use_tracker" : false,
      "use_dht" : false,
      "search_lan" : false,
      "use_sync_trash" : false,
      "known_hosts" :
      [
        "192.168.100.201:8888"
      ]
    }
  ]
}```

Maybe I missed something in confing file? Please advise.

Well for starters I wouldn't post a secret to a share here on the forum.

Second what is "192.168.100.201:8888" ? Did you make sure that the instance you are trying to connect to has that port setup as listening port?
