docker-sync stops working after some idle time

[jwohlfeil]

When i start or stop and the start the containers everything works as expected. But after some idle time (approx. 3 or 4 minutes) further changes in the file system are not noticed anymore. In the daemon.log i connot find any hints why it's not working... any ideas?

Hi @jwohlfeil , thank you for your feedback!

It's happening when there are many files syncing at the same time, like the folder pub/, var/ or generated/.
So, I ignored these folders on file: https://github.com/clean-docker/Magento2/blob/mac/docker-sync.yml

You can check this file on Mac or use these commands as well:

./stop
docker-sync clean
./start
docker-sync sync && docker-sync log

If it works, please let me know!

Doesn't work, sync keeps completely unstable. So i have to stop and start the instances over and over again to get the system synced - terrible workflow... any other ideas? Setting it up newly and install my magento installation again?

I had had a similar issue, so I fixed updating the docker-sync, unison and Docker Eugene image using these commands below:

brew update ; brew install unison ; brew upgrade unison
sudo gem install docker-sync
docker pull eugenmayer/unison:2.51.2.0
./stop && docker-sync clean && ./start

If it works, please let me know!
Thanks

Thank you! Looks better now. I'll know more when I work on it the next time.
