Simple Docker image with rsync and Node.js pre-installed. Useful when wanting to use rsync on Windows.
- Install Docker on your Windows machine first.
Command below will mount the current directory as the "source" directory that will be synced using rsync to
the destination folder on example.com:
docker run -it --rm -v ${PWD}:/data athlon1600/rsync bash -c 'rsync -avz -e "ssh -p 22" ./ root@example.com:/root/example'You could also just define your rsync command inside package.json of your project, and then run npm run sync
from inside the container:
{
"scripts": {
"sync": "rsync -avz -e \"ssh -p 22\" ./ root@example.com:/root/example",
"sync-windows": "docker run -it --rm -v %cd%:/data athlon1600/rsync bash -c \"npm run sync\""
}
}Now you can run either npm run sync or npm run sync-windows depending on what operating system you are using.
Note: commands above assume you are using Windows Powershell. For regular command prompt, replace ${PWD}
with %cd%.
