docker-btsync's Introduction

Fork update:

To run with a btsync.conf outside of the image:

docker build -t ekinsokmen/btsync .
docker run -v /home/btsync:/root/btsync:rw -v ~/config/btsync/:/etc/btsync:rw ekinsokmen/btsync

Bittorrent Sync Docker Container

This is a simple docker file to setup a bittorrent sync server. Just

Create btsync.conf
Build the container
Run the container
Browse to the BTSync Web UI
Add a shared folder

If you pass the -v flag to the docker run command, you can share the files with the host OS. This is good for sharing with Owncloud and similar.

Set it up

cd btsync
vi btsync.conf # See example at end of README
sudo docker pull ubuntu
sudo docker build -t mattwilliamson/btsync .
sudo docker run -d -v /var/btsync:/var/btsync:rw mattwilliamson/btsync

matt@ks208738:~/btsync$ sudo docker ps
ID                  IMAGE                          COMMAND                CREATED             STATUS              PORTS

Browse to http://$myserverhostname:49155/gui/ or whatever port maps to 8888 and add your shared folder.

Sample btsync.conf:

{
    "device_name": "My Server",
    "listening_port" : 3369, 
    "storage_path" : "/root/btsync",
    "check_for_updates" : false, 
    "use_upnp" : false,
    "download_limit" : 0, 
    "upload_limit" : 0, 
    "webui" :
    {
        "listen" : "0.0.0.0:8888",
        "login" : "webusername",
        "password" : "supersecr3t"
    } 
}
