Resilio-sync(https://www.resilio.com/individuals/) (formerly BitTorrent Sync) uses the BitTorrent protocol to sync files and folders between all of your devices. There are both free and paid versions, this container supports both. There is an official sync image but we created this one as it supports user mapping to simplify permissions for volumes.

First-install notes

  • Install Sync on Debian or Raspberry Pi Use apt (Debian's package installer) to install resilio-sync before you start it. Raspberry Pi 1 needs the armel command (a 32-bit ARM build), or the wrong package may fail to install. source
  • Start the Sync service for your user Run systemctl --user start resilio-sync after installing. Without this, the app is present but won't actually sync files for you. source
  • Optional: test network speed with iperf3 Run iperf3 -s -p 9000 on one machine if you want to measure network performance. Port 9000 is only for the test and isn't needed for normal Sync. source

Common questions

How does this container simplify permissions for mounted volumes?

It supports PUID and PGID user mapping to set the container's user and group, which simplifies volume permissions.

Does this container support both free and paid Resilio Sync?

Yes, the container supports both the free and paid versions of Resilio Sync.

Do I need to open port 9000 for Resilio Sync to work?

No. Port 9000 is only used for an optional iperf3 network test and is not needed for normal Resilio Sync operation.
