apt-get -y install python-software-properties add-apt-repository ppa:tuxpoldo/btsync apt-get update apt-get -y install btsync |
Steps for Install Menu:
- select “btsync” user from the menu
- select “default” for the sync daemon group
- set niceness to 0
- Unless you have additional IP’s on your instance it’s ok to hit enter to “0.0.0.0”
- Set the port to listen on (Default: 8888)
- Should BitTorrent Sync only allow SSL? <No> is ok here.
Make the directory(ies) to store your sync’d files
We will use “/btsync” for this example.
