git-annex remotedaemon - persistent communication with remotes
|
|
|
|
# SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
git annex remotedaemon
|
|
|
|
# DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
The remotedaemon provides persistent communication with remotes.
|
|
|
|
Several types of remotes are supported:
|
|
|
|
For ssh remotes, the remotedaemon tries to maintain a connection to the
|
|
remote git repository, and uses git-annex-shell notifychanges to detect
|
|
when the remote git repository has changed, and fetches changes from it.
|
|
For this to work, the git remote must have [[git-annex-shell]](1)
|
|
installed, with notifychanges support. The first version of git-annex-shell
|
|
that supports it is 5.20140405.
|
|
|
|
For tor-annex remotes, the remotedaemon runs a tor hidden service,
|
|
accepting connections from other nodes and serving up the contents of the
|
|
repository. This is only done if you first run `git annex enable-tor`.
|
|
Use `git annex p2p` to configure access to tor-annex remotes.
|
|
|
|
For p2p-annex remotes, the remotedaemon runs a command
|
|
`git-annex-p2p-<netname>` to get a socket file, listens to the socket
|
|
file for connections from other peers, and serves up the contents of the
|
|
repository. This is only done if you first run
|
|
`git-annex p2p --enable <netname>`.
|
|
|
|
Note that when `remote.<name>.annex-pull` is set to false, the remotedaemon
|
|
will avoid fetching changes from that remote.
|
|
|
|
# OPTIONS
|
|
|
|
* `--foreground`
|
|
|
|
Don't fork to the background, and communicate on stdin/stdout using a
|
|
simple textual protocol. The assistant runs the remotedaemon this way.
|
|
|
|
Commands in the protocol include LOSTNET, which tells the remotedaemon
|
|
that the network connection has been lost, and causes it to stop any TCP
|
|
connctions. That can be followed by RESUME when the network connection
|
|
comes back up.
|
|
|
|
* Also the [[git-annex-common-options]](1) can be used.
