BitTorrent Sync (BTSync) Plugin

[cappiel]

How can I troubleshoot why the WebGUI isn't working? Tried both tower:50001 and tower:50001/gui. Installed the latest plugin and still haven't had luck.

 

thanks

Try to use chrome in incognito mode, also try using the direct ip address instead if tower

So... Has anyone tried plugin version 1.9? Im still on 1.8 after reading the reply a few posts above.

Worked perfectly. Thanks zachmo!

Still like to figure out why the only way I can access the GUI is by using an incognito tab in Chrome?

 

edit: Deleting cookies sorted it out.

Hi there,

i just had just one problem with BTSync (not the plugin itself) and that was that BTSync kept my Cache Drive always spinning because it seems to regulary access the config file i stored on the cache drive. That meant that my server didnt go to S3 like it was supposed to. I moved the config file now to the flash drive that solved my problem.

 

Just in case somebody has the same issue.

Overbyrn,

 

Been considering BTsync for a while, was holding off due to the possible install headaches. Then I found your plugin packages...Thanks for making this so painless.

Hey there, tried installing btsync plugin with no luck.  I downloaded from the github, manually ran installplg command and got a bunch of stuff spit back at me. 

 

This is just the first few lines (the entire printout is almost 2M):

Maybe it would be interesting which unRaid version you use and if you have additional plugins installed.

that's because you downloaded a html file. The easiest way Would be to just replace the contents of the plg file you just downloaded with the real code, which is accessible on github.

 

This happens sometime, when you right click and save-as the link,  the contents of the file isn't what you actually want.

ars92,

That was it.  Copied the raw text and it worked.

Thanks!

Does the Cache disk stop spinning down with btsync installed ?

 

best regards

I don't think my cache drive spins down.  If I manually spin it down, it spins back up too.

It won't, as long as btsync is running. But iinm you could tweak the frequency it checks for new files through a few arguments in the config file.

Had the same problem. It was the BTSync config file. Moved that to the flash drive and now my cache drive spins down normally.

If BTSync is regularly accessing its config file wouldn't that shorten the life of your flash drive?

 

With regard to S3 and cache drive, cant you tell the S3 script to ignore the cache anyway, you can in SF and the new Dynamix webGui.

 

Wouldn't this be a better solution then having constant writes to the flash?

[darkside40]

Accessing does not mean that it is writing to the flash.

But surely it is possible to copy the hole stuff to the ramdrive, so the flash drive is not in danger.

had anybody already tested the ram-drive method ?

 

 

[darkside40]

Hi,

could you please update the included BTSync Binary to Version 1.2.82?

I have just updated my install manually.

[chrissi5120]

has someone a good solution for this  problem without using the flash memory ?

 

If not, I think an SSD could do the trick (low energy consumption/not spinning)

 

best regards

Is there a way to run the dameon as a user other than "nobody"?  I have a BTSync install in the cloud and I am trying to sync it down to my unraid box.  The files come down no problem, however, when they are added to the unraid box they are owned by "nobody" so when I mount the share on my mac as a specified user, I cannot edit the file.  Any help would be great.

When you mount the share from the Mac, is the user that you specify a user that is also defined on unRAID?  Sorry, not a mac person, so don't know how this works.  I ask as I was wondering if it was possible to play around with who has access to what.  For instance, if a file on unRAID is created by the user nobody, then that file would also have a set of permissions at group level. 

 

eg.

-rw-rw-rw-  1 nobody users        0 2014-03-09 18:37 file

 

Maybe if you mounted the share in such a way that the user as is a member of the unRAID group "users", then by default he'd inherit those rights.

 

At the moment, there is no facility within the plugin to change the user the daemon runs as.  A dirty hack to would be quick search and replace in the plugin for 'nobody' and switching it to the user you're mounting the share as.

The dirty hack solved my problem.
