App-FileSync-0.001.2

Changes for version 0.001.2 - 2026-10-24

  • Bug Fixes
    • filesync-admin repo create names the server root and the directory that blocks it when the root cannot be written, and says to chown it to the running account or use --root elsewhere. It used to report only "Permission denied" against a path below the root.
    • That advice is given only when a directory really is unwritable, so a full disk or a root that is a file keeps its own error.
  • Documentation
    • The examples are split by machine - what to run on the server, on each client, and from cron - and keep the master in a home directory, so nothing needs sudo.
    • What a /srv/filesync root needs instead, the wrapper that adds --root to filesync-server, and the ssh key the first sync requires.
    • The backup and restore commands follow the example's master layout, and make the backup directory before cron mirrors into it.
    • The synopsis creates the repo first, so it runs as printed.
