seedmirror

seedmirror is a utility to monitor remote filesystem changes and automatically synchronize them to a local directory using rsync over ssh.

running (binary)

• openssh 6.7+ (for unix domain socket forwarding support, client and server)
• rsync 3.2.3+ (for --mkpath flag, client only)

Download the latest release here or build the binaries yourself.

Example: To synchronize all files in

• /home/server/media/music/ on the server to /mnt/storage/music/ on the client
• /home/server/media/videos/ on the server to /mnt/storage/videos/ on the client

# On the server
seedmirror-server

# On the client
seedmirror-client --ssh-hostname myserver \
    -p /home/server/media/music/:/mnt/storage/music/ \
    -p /home/server/media/videos/:/mnt/storage/videos/

running seedmirror-client (docker)

Pull the latest image from here or build it as described here.

To run the same example described above:

docker run \
  --rm \
  -e PUID=$(id -u) \
  -e PGID=$(id -g) \
  -v "$HOME/.ssh:/config/.ssh" \
  -v "/mnt/storage:/storage" \
  ghcr.io/voidiz/seedmirror-client \
  --ssh-hostname myserver \
  -p /home/server/media/music/:/storage/music/ \
  -p /home/server/media/videos/:/storage/videos/

Note that your ssh directory must be mounted at /config/.ssh. The values set for $PUID and $PGID should match the user ID and group ID of all mounted directories, respectively.

See seedmirror-client --help or seedmirror-server --help.

logging

The info log level is set by default for both the server and the client. It can be modified by changing the RUST_LOG environment variable as described here.
