![]() Compare this, for instance, with the scripted resources that has made available for community use. On the flip side, I have to say that it isn't obvious to the casual user how to contact the plugin developer to report issues, suggest improvements, or seek advice. Just to add to the discussion, missing features are just one side of the coin. With jails, I need to enter the jail's IP address and advertised application port in a browser to do the same. What I do miss about plugins is the ability to access the application through the plugin. This action does not affect existing client metadata and backup data.Ĭlick to expand.Thank you, Jurgen, for your insight and balanced viewpoints on the world of plugins. At this stage, if a new version becomes available, it's easy enough to destroy the jail and run the script again to acquire the new version. When I have some time, I'd like to add in a check for, and automatically update to, newer versions of rslsync. This scripted version addresses these limitations. Using the rslsync plugin made it cumbersome to deal with these issues. The issue was finally resolved when 2.7.0 was released (we're currently at v2.7.2). The workaround at the time was to revert to v2.6.1. I recall there was an issue with syncing files larger than 4GB in v2.6.3. The rslsync plugin was updated infrequently, as the package repository is set by default to quarterly.Plugin jails aren't designed to be tampered with, so tweaks to the rslsync plugin jail were overwritten when the plugin was updated.This was laborious for anything more than a few connections. With only a few clients, this isn't such a big issue, but if you had a lot of clients and had to rebuild the plugin jail, it meant all those client connections had to be set up again. While client data could be stored outside the plugin jail, client metadata was stored within the jail. ![]() If I recall correctly, there were several limitations of using the Resilio Sync plugin when it was around: I've found plugins quite inflexible in the past and have migrated away from using them. Maybe as the author of the resource Create an unofficial iocage plugin, you might like to pick up the mantle. Click to expand.Now, you're pushing your luck.
