Agents package installation on Linux

Resilio Connect supports installing Deb and RPM packages.

sync.conf

Before installing, retrieve agent's config file from Management Console, name it sync.conf and manually put in to /etc/resilio-agent folder
  • On systemd init systems use systemctl enable/start/stop/disable/ status calls to manage the agent service.
  • On sysvinit, upstart systems use service start/stop/restart/ status calls.
  • Agent will create "rslagent" user and run with it. New directory "/home/rslagent/Resilio Connect Agent" will be used as default %DOWNLOADS% folder storage path macro. For other Path macros see here. On systemd init system here is also option to launch it as current user, not rslagent, see below.
  • If you need to run agent under different user account, edit service configuration file:
    for sysvinit: /etc/init.d/resilio-agent
    for systemd: /lib/systemd/system/resilio-agent.service
    and fix the user and group related variables
