Dockerized BTSync

A Docker image you can use to quickly sync folders using BTSync. (http://www.bittorrent.com/sync)

How to use

Pull the Docker image

docker pull aduermael/btsync

If Docker is not installed: https://docs.docker.com/installation/

Run the container

docker run -t -i -d -p 55555:55555 aduermael/btsync

If you want to sync folders from your host or Docker volumes, be sure to mount them when running the container. Unfortunately this can't be done later (yet).

Mount folders from your own host:
```
docker run -t -i -d -p 55555:55555 -v [host-dir]:[container-dir] aduermael/btsync
```
This will mount the host directory, [host-dir] (path), into the container at [container-dir] (path).
Mount folders from Docker volumes
```
docker run -t -i -d -p 55555:55555 --volumes-from [container-name] aduermael/btsync
```
This will mount all volumes (folders) from the given container ( [container-name] )

IF you already have a BTSync secret key

If you already have a secret key you can quickly synchronize your folder when running the container:

docker run -t -i -d -p 55555:55555 aduermael/btsync [container-dir][secret-key]

[container-dir]: Absolute path to the directory (inside the container).

[secret-key]: A secret key associated with a synchronized folder. You can sync a folder using a BitTorrent Sync client: http://www.bittorrent.com/sync. (you can use a read-only key)

Sync / disconnect folders

Use attach command to interact with your btsync running container.

docker attach [container-name]

When running the container, you can assign a name with --name option:
```
docker run -t -i -d -p 55555:55555 --name btsync aduermael/btsync
```

If you did not assign a name, use docker ps the one that was generated:

$ docker ps
CONTAINER ID        IMAGE                     COMMAND                CREATED             STATUS              PORTS                      NAMES
aef963c15535        aduermael/btsync:latest   /bin/bash ./start.sh   6 minutes ago       Up 6 minutes        0.0.0.0:55555->55555/tcp   btsync
