- Expand storage
- Start desktop
- Reboot
Continue by plugging the LAN cable, then in the router admin panel, find the IP address of the pi. Connect:
ssh pi@ipaddress
Type in raspberry
as the password.

sudo apt-get install raspberrypi-bootloader
mkdir -p ~/Downloads/btsync
cd ~/Downloads/btsync
wget http://btsync.s3-website-us-east-1.amazonaws.com/btsync_arm.tar.gz
tar zxvf btsync_arm.tar.gz
cd ..
sudo mv btsync /opt
/opt/btsync/btsync --dump-sample-config > ~/.btsync.conf
Open the btsync config (vim ~/.btsync.conf
) and change the following:
"My Sync Device"
to the what you want your Raspberry Pi to be known as in the BitTorrent Sync network- Uncomment the pid file line
"pid_file" : "/var/run/btsync/btsync.pid"
, and change it to"pid_file" : "/var/run/btsync.pid"
- In the webui section,
"password" : "password"
to set the password (change the one on the right) that you need to enter when opening the web app. - Change
/home/user
to/home/pi
sudo vim /etc/monit/conf.d/btsync.monitrc
Paste the ff:
check process btsync with pidfile /var/run/btsync.pid
start program = "/bin/bash -c '/opt/btsync/btsync --config /home/pi/.btsync.conf'"
stop program = "/bin/bash -c '/bin/kill -9 `cat /var/run/btsync.pid`'"
if failed host 127.0.0.1 port 8888 then restart
if cpu is greater than 90% for 2 cycles then alert
if cpu > 95% for 30 cycles then restart
sudo vim /etc/monit/monitrc
uncomment the httpd part, with and pick a password
Then reload monit:
sudo monit reload
Instructions from here
Find out where in /dev/sd*
your disk is (probably /dev/sda1
):
sudo fdisk -l
You should create the directory where you want it to be mounted: sudo mkdir /mount/storage
If you need format the drive, see this. I followed the format portion only, not the mount.
One thing you can use BitTorrent Sync for is to update (you're most likely using a dynamic IP) the public IP address of the connection your Pi is using. This is helpful if you port forward to your Pi.
Make a script that we can run:
mkdir ~/about
mkdir ~/scripts
vim ~/scripts/public_ip_dump
Paste:
#!/bin/bash
IP=`curl -s checkip.dyndns.org|sed -e 's/.*Current IP Address: //' -e 's/<.*$//'`
echo $IP > /home/pi/about/ip.txt
Make it executable:
chmod +x ~/scripts/public_ip_dump
Now set it to run every 30 minutes:
crontab -e
Paste:
30 * * * * /home/pi/scripts/public_ip_dump
Then add that folder to BitTorrent sync through the WebUI. Keep that in sync with your computer so you know what the IP address even if the Pi's public IP changes.
When I setup the Monit part, I find that the Sync is always started as a root user. I think it is unsafe, but what should I do to change it? (Sync process is used to run as the user "pi")
