Arch Linux User Repository

@ava1ar I helped myself with a cronjob an a bashscript, starting btsync, if it's not running. No beauty, but does the trick.

@timski Thanks! Looks like this is bug in v1.4. You can always switch to 1.3 while it is not fixed in never versions.

@ava1ar I removed all configuration files, also the default one, deleted btsync completely und reinstalled it. Then I switched to lingering to start btsync at boot. It worked find with no shares added, but after adding my folders, the same as before(crashing after ca 1/2 min). So I guess it's because of to many files to sync/index. But it worked on 1.3.x, so it might work again. But running it via lingering is nice, works like a charm for deluged

@timski Do not forget to share your experience with lingering and btsync, other users may find it useful.

I will try lingering, that's sounds like what I want thanks alot for your time! and also thank you very much for maintaning the btsync package :)

@timski Technically, user instance of btsync starts on user login, not at system start (unless you enable lingering https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Systemd/User#Automatic_start-up_of_systemd_user_instances). To troubleshoot the user instance can you please do the following: 1. Remove/rename btsync user configuration dir: ~/.config/btsync 2. Copy /etc/btsync/btsync.conf to ~/.config/btsync/btsync.conf: mkdir -p ~/.config/btsync cp /etc/btsync.conf ~/.config/btsync/btsync.conf 3. Replace user-specific references with the appropriate information. For now storage_path and pid_file are enough. Be sure to specify existing and accessible path. Than reload systemd user isntances and start the btsync: systemctl --user daemon-reload systemctl --user start btsync Then post here the errors you will see in the journal.

I tried now, but I'm not able do get a functioning init script to start btsync as a user anymore. The standart btsync.service and I can start it manually as a user, but not via systemd at boot I also upgraded to 1.4.82

@timski Did you try creating clean configuration and re-adding your shares? I wonder if your problem will still persist.

@timski Any logs / stacktrace / other artifacts. It is really difficult to troubleshoot the problem just by generic description.
