mediasync provides a way to upload your media folder to server that runs media servers like Plex, Kodi, etc.
You should have a folder in your host that only contains media files that mediasync can read from.
To avoid copying incomplete files, mediasync simply checks if the filesize and lastmod date are not changed for 10 seconds.
Note that mediasync removes source files after uploading those, with rsync's --remove-source-files option.
Any files starting with dot(.) will not be transferred and any folders are ignored as well.
During initial configuration, mediasync will generate ssh key and ssh-copy-id its public key to server for passwordless rsync operations. You'll be asked to enter password when mediasync container copies the public key to the server.
The ssh key will be stored in docker volume mounted at /var/keys/.
docker pull hytgbn/mediasync:latest
Env variables mediasync uses:
- DEST_USER: dest server posix user
- DEST_SERVER: dest server domain/address
- DEST_PATH: path of dest server to copy media files.
docker run -it -e DEST_USER=<user> -e DEST_SERVER=<addr> -e DEST_PATH=<path> --mount type=bind,source=<host directory>,target=/mediadir --name mediasync hytgbn/mediasync:latest
You can set up a schedule task, e.g. cron, with below command.
docker start mediasync
