This will build a docker image that runs BitTorrent Sync.
There are various ways to get the image onto your system:
The preferred way (but using most bandwidth for the initial image) is to get our docker trusted build like this:
docker pull kartoza/btsync
To build the image yourself without apt-cacher (also consumes more bandwidth since deb packages need to be refetched each time you build) do:
docker build -t kartoza/btsync git://github.com/kartoza/docker-btsync
To build with apt-cache (and minimised download requirements) do you need to clone this repo locally first and modify the contents of 71-apt-cacher-ng to match your cacher host. Then build using a local url instead of directly from github.
git clone git://github.com/kartoza/docker-btsync
Now edit 71-apt-cacher-ng then do:
docker build -t kartoza/btsync .
To create a running container do:
docker run --name "myname.kartoza.com" \
--restart=always \
--hostname="myname.kartoza.com" \
-e SECRET=123456 \
-e DEVICE=somedevice.kartoza.com \
-v /home/blah/yourshare:/web \
-d -t kartoza/btsync
You should use the following environment variables to pass a user DEVICE name (it will show up as this in your docker sync lists) and SECRET (use a read only secret normally).
- -e SECRET=
- -e DEVICE=
We recommend that you share your storage directory as a volume mounted as /web into the container - this will allow you to destroy and recreate the container without losing you synced data.
