ivo.welch@gmail.com Posted August 6, 2019 Report Share Posted August 6, 2019 on macos, I can learn the name of the device in the GUI under Settings, General. on my linux server, which has no GUI, how can I find out the device name? (the ultimate goal is to determine whether my two hosts have a path to and/or see one another.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eltopo Posted August 7, 2019 Report Share Posted August 7, 2019 You can change device name by accessing its WebUI page. or you can write your own config file and run rslsync with --config. Start from ./rslsync --dump-sample-config Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivo.welch@gmail.com Posted August 7, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2019 thank you. can the device name be changed for already linked up devices? (https://help.resilio.com/hc/en-us/articles/206163443-Can-I-change-the-name-of-my-Sync-identity- hints that doing so for an existing peer may require un-relinking. it gives instructions for unlink-relink on macos, but not for linux.) I think the answer is yes...the device name can be changed running. I don't think I can use the webUI, because there is no gui on the linux server, so I cannot point a browser at localhost. or is it safe to give it a static IP address of another machine, where I could then run a browser? obviously, I want to be paranoid about opening up my resilio admin to the broader internet.
