Run Resiliosync as user on headless server

I have read many threads and spent countless hours, but I never got Resiliosync to work properly as a specified on a headless server. This would make life easier because without this there are some permission issues.

So i decided to have a look around and found Syncthing. They have the option to start syncthing with systemd as a specified user. By using this syncthing@.service systemd file

[Unit]
  Description=Syncthing - Open Source Continuous File Synchronization for %I
  Documentation=man:syncthing(1)
  After=network.target
  Wants=syncthing-inotify@.service
   
  [Service]
  User=%i
  ExecStart=/usr/bin/syncthing -no-browser -no-restart -logflags=0
  Restart=on-failure
  SuccessExitStatus=3 4
  RestartForceExitStatus=3 4
   
  [Install]
 

WantedBy=multi-user.target

 

enable with:

systemctl enable syncthing@myuser.service
systemctl start syncthing@myuser.service

Within 10 minutes I was up and running....................

Now i do like Resiliosync and i do own a pro license so i wonder can i achive this with Resilio?

It can be done with the instructions linked below.

Please follow steps from this instruction.

 

I used the "Installing Sync Package On Linux" article to install Sync on a Raspberry Pi 3 without an error. Reminder: add firewall rules to permit traffic.

Agree with @dualcells, just follow that article and it works. Remember to stop the service prior to anything with sudo systemctl stop / disable resilio-sync.. And after modifying the config, you re-enable it without sudoing, and adding the option --user. Just read the article carefully as there are similar configs on different places aswell as risk for typos.

 

But it works as described
