This mini how-to provides a comprehensive instruction on how to install Rsync in Debian Lenny (Linux). I’m using Rsync to synchronize files on several servers. Let’s install and configure rsync:
- Install rsynс
apt-get install rsync - Create a configuration file for rsyncd
vi /etc/rsyncd.conf
with the following content:
log file=/var/log/rsyncd
pid file=/var/run/rsyncd.pid
socket options = SO_KEEPALIVE
[www]
comment = public archive
path = /var/www
use chroot = yes
max connections=2
lock file = /var/lock/rsyncd
read only = yes
list = yes
uid = www-data
gid = www-data
auth users = wwwsync
secrets file = /etc/rsyncd.secrets
strict modes = yes
hosts allow = 10.1.1.1 10.1.1.100
ignore errors = no
ignore nonreadable = yes
transfer logging = yes
log format = %t: host %h (%a) %o %f (%l bytes). Total %b bytes.
timeout = 300
refuse options = checksum dry-run
dont compress = *.gz *.tgz *.zip *.z *.rpm *.deb *.iso *.bz2 *.tbzin the command hosts allow = you need to specify addresses from which you are going to sync files.
- Create a login and password in /etc/rsyncd.secrets
wwwsync:synhronizer - In the file /etc/default/rsync replace a line RSYNC_ENABLE=false with RSYNC_ENABLE=true
- Run Rsync
/etc/init.d/rsync start - Check if Rsync ran
ps xauw|grep rsync
After the installation you should see the following:
root 3935 0.0 0.3 3368 832 ? S 04:22 0:00 /usr/bin/rsync –no-detach –daemon –config /etc/rsyncd.conf - Start synchronization (login:wwwsync password:synhronizer)
rsync -rvt –progress wwwsync@www.local::www
www.local should be replaced with ip or the server name where you are going to fulfill synchronization.
This is how to install and configure Rsync in Debian Lenny.
