Resilio Sync (formerly BitTorrent Sync) by Resilio, Inc. is a proprietary peer-to-peer file synchronization tool available for Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, iOS, Windows Phone, Amazon Kindle Fire and BSD. It can sync files between devices on a local network, or between remote devices over the Internet via a modified version of the BitTorrent protocol. If you want to run Resilio Sync as a service, you need to have an rslsync user and group prior to running the service. Something like this will suffice for most systems: groupadd -g 364 rslsync useradd -u 364 -g rslsync -d /dev/null -s /bin/false rslsync If you want to run rslsync as a regular user, you do not need an extra system user. You can conveniently start rslsync in user mode by using the provided rslsync-usermode script.
