You only need to run one ctlc/btsync container per virtual server. $ docker run -i -t -volumes-from btsync-client ubuntu ls /data/ $ docker run -d -name btsync-client ctlc/btsync $ docker run -i -t -volumes-from btsync ubuntu ls touch ls /data/Īnd on any other computer, you can run the ctlc/btsync container with the secret from your first instance: # Server 2 Starting btsync with secret: A645YG2WBR4DJI7J67ZK2EKD7XT44SYJ6

Here is how you can add syncing to your Docker app: # Server 1
#BITTORRENT SYNC UBUNTU STARTUP HOW TO#
A new open-source project called Syncthing is a promising alternative to BitTorrent Sync, but since it is not stable yet, we will show you how to use it after it becomes more stable. Wouldn't it be great if you could use a syncing technology that didn't require you to open ports or patch your kernel? Like Dropbox, but without the central server so you don't have to worry about your code being compromised? Syncing Docker With Bittorrent SyncĪlthough BitTorrent Sync isn't open source, it does work really well to sync your servers for no cost and without a centralized server. Even if you could in theory run NFS or Gluster in Docker, would you really want to? Who hasn't had trouble with those technologies here? Whether it is kernel patches or TCP ports, it is one thing or another. But I could not get any of them working in the latest version of Docker. There are tutorials out there, and even a few containers in the index that say they work.

You can't easily Docker-ize NFS or Gluster. Each container or dyno is ephemeral (goes away when the container goes away) and when the dyno goes away, all your uploaded content goes away too. If you have ever tried running WordPress or Drupal on Docker or a PaaS environment before, you know what I am talking about. Persistent filesystem is one of the hardest parts of running a CMS or blog in the cloud.
