Dear Friends

I have since 4 years a B3, and beside the function as a firewall and DHCP-Server and TimeMachine, it is almost unused! i just figured out, that there is a btsync- package available, which would be very interesting to sync datas from my 2 offices. But as I'm not a Linux-crack, I think I can't install btsync by myself! Is there a chance that somebody can write me a step-to-step guidance?

I will also pay something for it!

Best regards and many thanks
Erich

I just tried the Linux ARM package from the official Bittorrent Sync website.
It really doesn't require any installation. Just download the tar file, unpack and run the program.

First SSH into your B3.
Download and unpack file
Correct cpu alignment (as root)
(Optional) Allow btsync through firewall
Run btsync application

Code: Select all

mkdir btsync
cd btsync
wget -O btsync.tar http://download.getsyncapp.com/endpoint/btsync/os/linux-arm/track/stable
tar xvf btsync.tar
sudo su -
echo 2 > /proc/cpu/alignment
exit
./btsync --webui.listen 0.0.0.0:8888

Now point your browser to http://b3:8888 and configure BittorrentSync - add folders etc.

If the firewall on your B3 doesn't allow incoming connections to port 8888, punch a hole to allow this:

Code: Select all

sudo su -
iptables -I INPUT 1 -m tcp -p tcp --dport 8888 -j ACCEPT
/etc/init.d/bubba-firewall restart
exit

Many thanks for your quick and very precise answer. I installed it today and it runs very quick and smoothly.
During the installing- process, I got another question!

In the case of upgrade? What steps I need to do, to upgrade the btsync- package, whiteout loosing any datas or settings?

Many many thanks in advance
Eric
