Bit Torrent Sync (99% done?)
Hi All
I know this seems like a 'how hard can it be' but could this be made into a add on with a few minutes of work from someone who knows how:?
Below are my logs to install bit torrent, and getting it running at boot. Surely this is easy to port to a proper add on??
Installed on ReadyNAS NV+ v2 (ARM)
1. Download Linux ARM compressed binary btsync_arm.tar.gz
2. scp file to root directory on ReadyNAS.
3. ssh to ReadyNAS, uncompress and untar the binary.
4. Load BTSync by typing ./btsync at command line.
6. Accessed the GUI via http://<ReadyNAS IP>:8888/gui/
For the startup on boot:
The best way is probably to treat it as an addon. You can simply add a line in /etc/frontview/addons/addons.conf for your program. Follow the syntax of the SlimServer and DAAP addons, which is:
CODE:
SERVICE_NAME!!Friendly_Name!!Version!!Startup_command!!Stop_command
After that, add a line in /etc/default/services with
CODE:
SERVICE_NAME=1
e.g.
BTSYNC!!Bit Torrent Sync!!/btsync!!/btsync

- Well, it's a bit more work than that. But yes, it's doable ;)

It's easy to install btsync for a single user, especially if you don't care much about security (see https://www.readynas.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=71152, for example). But a proper addon would give each user his own sync subdirectory and allow him to configure it without interfering with any other user's sync directory, and would also give the ReadyNAS admin some basic user-management tools (e.g., to create new sync subdirectories for newly-added users).
There are some multi-user scripts on the web that might be a good starting point:

And of course there is also this full package:
