These instructions are based on Resilio’s Installing Sync package on Linux page. Just download Resilio Sync to your computer and run the installer. It does, but even so I’d advise against it, especially if using Windows. From now on, though, I’ll just write the instructions for the droidisk – a pidisk should be the same except for the machine and user names.įinally, for the example in this article I used a folder named “John’s Library.” This was mostly to see if having spaces and punctuation in the name would work. In that case, I would suggest the latest model, the Raspberry Pi 3B+, for its faster network interface. I have tested this only on my droidisk, but I don’t see why it wouldn’t work fine on a pidisk. Also, make absolutely sure that you sync to the pidisk/droidisk using a read-only key. So far so good, but I recommend that you try it first with a test library, not your real library. I’ve only been testing this solution for a few days. There may even be multiple people who want to have their music synced to the central server from their own computers. Second, you have music files on your computer or on external hard drives that you want to sync to the pidisk/droidisk. Contextįirst, you’ve built a pidisk or droidisk. Since my current server, dubbed droidisk, is based on the ODroid HC1 instead of a Raspberry Pi, I’ll use that as the example in the instructions that follow. A reader recently questioned me about it, and it occurred to me that there’s a better solution that is cross-platform and easier to set up.
In an earlier article, I suggested that one might want to synchronize a music library from a Mac or PC to a Raspberry Pi-based music server, dubbed pidisk. In that article, I used rsync on a Mac, but didn’t provide any instructions for Windows.
