syncspirit-daemon

The program connects to peers (and listens incoming connections from peers) and downloads files to local disk. The program stays always "online" (similar to syncthing), unless inactivate command is defined.

syncspirit-daemon shares the same database, config folder and files with other syncspirit programs, so it is possible to "setup" configuration in one program and sync in other.

generic command line options

• --log_level log verbosity. Possible values are: trace, debug, info, warn, error, crit, off

• --config_dir path to directory with syncspirit.toml, ssh keys and database

• --command invoke a command within syncspirit core. It is possible to specify several commands, the next command is executed after the previous one is successfully applied.

commands

• add_peer:$label:$device record the target $device (locally name it $label) into the syncspirit database, this allows to stay connected with $peer.

• add_folder:label=$label:id=$id:path=$path add the folder $label with $id into the syncspirit database. All downloaded files will be located under $path

• share:folder=$folder:device=$device shares the specified folder with the specified peer device. The $folder can refer folder label or folder id; the $device can refer device either via full device id, short device id or via device label.

• inactivate:$seconds shutdown the programs after $seconds of inactivity (i.e. no traffic between peers).
