linuxserver/resilio-sync

Resilio-sync (formerly BitTorrent Sync) uses the BitTorrent protocol to sync files and folders between all of your devices. There are both free and paid versions, this container supports both. There is an official sync image but we created this one as it supports user mapping to simplify permissions for volumes.

Supported Architectures

We utilise the docker manifest for multi-platform awareness. More information is available from docker here and our announcement here.
Simply pulling lscr.io/linuxserver/resilio-sync:latest should retrieve the correct image for your arch, but you can also pull specific arch images via tags.
The architectures supported by this image are:
Architecture
Available
Tag
x86-64
amd64-<version tag>
arm64
arm64v8-<version tag>
armhf

Application Setup

  • Webui is at <your-ip>:8888, for account creation and configuration.
  • More info on setup at Resilio Sync

Usage

To help you get started creating a container from this image you can either use docker-compose or the docker cli.

version: "2.1"
services:
resilio-sync:
image: lscr.io/linuxserver/resilio-sync:latest
container_name: resilio-sync
environment:
- PUID=1000

- TZ=Etc/UTC
volumes:
- /path/to/config:/config
- /path/to/downloads:/downloads
- /path/to/data:/sync
ports:
- 8888:8888

Parameters

Docker images are configured using parameters passed at runtime (such as those above). These parameters are separated by a colon and indicate <external>:<internal> respectively. For example, -p 8080:80 would expose port 80 from inside the container to be accessible from the host's IP on port 8080 outside the container.

Ports (-p)

Parameter
Function
8888
WebUI
55555
Sync Port.

Environment Variables (-e)

Env
Function
PUID=1000
for UserID - see below for explanation
PGID=1000
for GroupID - see below for explanation
TZ=Etc/UTC
specify a timezone to use, see this list.

Volume Mappings (-v)

Volume
Function
/config
Where resilio-sync should store its config file.
/downloads
Folder for downloads/cache.
/sync
Sync folders root.

Miscellaneous Options

Environment variables from files (Docker secrets)

You can set any environment variable from a file by using a special prepend FILE__.
As an example:
-e FILE__PASSWORD=/run/secrets/mysecretpassword
Will set the environment variable PASSWORD based on the contents of the /run/secrets/mysecretpassword file.

Umask for running applications

For all of our images we provide the ability to override the default umask settings for services started within the containers using the optional -e UMASK=022 setting. Keep in mind umask is not chmod it subtracts from permissions based on it's value it does not add. Please read up here before asking for support.

User / Group Identifiers

When using volumes (-v flags), permissions issues can arise between the host OS and the container, we avoid this issue by allowing you to specify the user PUID and group PGID.
Ensure any volume directories on the host are owned by the same user you specify and any permissions issues will vanish like magic.
In this instance PUID=1000 and PGID=1000, to find yours use id user as below:
$ id username
uid=1000(dockeruser) gid=1000(dockergroup) groups=1000(dockergroup)

Docker Mods

We publish various Docker Mods to enable additional functionality within the containers. The list of Mods available for this image (if any) as well as universal mods that can be applied to any one of our images can be accessed via the dynamic badges above.

Support Info

  • Shell access whilst the container is running:
    • docker exec -it resilio-sync /bin/bash
  • To monitor the logs of the container in realtime:
    • docker logs -f resilio-sync
  • Container version number
    • docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' resilio-sync
  • Image version number
    • docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' lscr.io/linuxserver/resilio-sync:latest
