Possibility to specify --rsync-path #38

Closed mister-bogus closed 8 years ago

mister-bogus commented 8 years ago

Using websync between 2 servers, the problem is the remote server is a NAS and rsync is not in the path and it is found in a non-standard location. The option to specify the parameter --rsync-path would be great to solve this case.

Hmmm, didn't know you could end up in such a situation. Couldn't you add it to the path?

export PATH=$PATH:/path/to/dir

And symlink to binaries

cd /usr/bin
sudo ln -s /path/to/binary binary-name

It is in the path (path being set in .bashrc and .profile of the remote host) but not being found anyhow when doing :

rsync -ruva --progress --rsh=ssh /dir/to/backup \ root@drobo5n.local.lan:/mnt/DroboFS/Shares/Public

I get :

sh: rsync: not found

EDIT: Found a workaround using command= option in the authorized_keys file of the remote system.

Rsync is installed, and also created symblink?

That also works, thanks.The only problem with that is I have to create the symlink every time I reboot the NAS.

furier commented 8 years ago

No problem, but what about creating a cron script to create the symblink on reboot?

Yeah I will implement something like that, the NAS has a mechanism to start services and programs installed, I will just modify the script that starts rsync to create the symlink. thanks a lot.
