- Create a directory named .sync in your home directory
- Create a file inside .sync named config.json with the dumped and modified configuration
- Replace the configuration entry "storage_path" with the path to the .sync directory
- Move btsync to /usr/bin or replace DAEMON with the absolute path to btsync
- Copy the script to /etc/init.d and chmod +x it
- Replace BTSYNC_USERS with a list of usernames that you want btsync to work with, space delimited
- Use rcconf or another tool to make the service btsync start at system initialization
- Execute service btsync start
WHEN SETTING UP BTSYNC FOR MULTIPLE USERS, REMEMBER TO USE DIFFERENT PORT NUMBERS FOR webui.listen
- MULTIPLE PROCESSES CAN'T LISTEN TO THE SAME PORT!
Example:
{
"device_name": "<DEVICE NAME>",
"listening_port": 0,
"storage_path": "/home/mendel/.sync",
"check_for_updates": true,
"use_upnp": true,
"download_limit": 0,
"upload_limit": 0,
"webui": {
"listen": "0.0.0.0:8888",
"login" : "admin",
"password" : "password"
},
"shared_folders": []
}
