Exclusions #4

Closed Harrisonbro closed 7 years ago

Is there a way to exclude certain files or folders from being synced? I'm thinking specifically of my .git directory which doesn't need to be synced into the container.

FYI, you can use the SYNC_EXTRA_UNISON_PROFILE_OPTS environment variable for this. For example:

bg-sync:
    image: cweagans/bg-sync
    volumes:
      - .:/source
    volumes_from:
      - web
    environment:
      SYNC_EXTRA_UNISON_PROFILE_OPTS: |
        ignore = Path tmp/*
        ignore = Path .ebextensions/*
        ignore = Path .elasticbeanstalk/*

Great idea, thank you.

Note that .git is not synced by default (https://github.com/cweagans/docker-bg-sync/blob/master/sync.sh#L140-L143). If there are other things you need to ignore, the solution from @wvteijlingen is probably the correct one.
