git-annex-remotedaemon - persistent communication with remotes
git annex remotedaemon
The remotedaemon provides persistent communication with remotes.
Several types of remotes are supported:
For ssh remotes, the remotedaemon tries to maintain a connection to the remote
git repository, and uses git-annex-shell notifychanges to detect when the
remote git repository has changed, and fetches changes from it. For this to
work, the git remote must have
git-annex-shell(1) installed, with
notifychanges support. The first version of git-annex-shell that supports it
is 5.20140405.
For tor-annex remotes, the remotedaemon runs a tor hidden service, accepting
connections from other nodes and serving up the contents of the repository.
This is only done if you first run
git annex enable-tor. Use
git
annex p2p to configure access to tor-annex remotes.
Note that when
remote.<name>.annex-pull is set to false, the
remotedaemon will avoid fetching changes from that remote.
- --foreground
- Don't fork to the background, and communicate on
stdin/stdout using a simple textual protocol. The assistant runs the
remotedaemon this way.
- Commands in the protocol include LOSTNET, which tells the
remotedaemon that the network connection has been lost, and causes it to
stop any TCP connctions. That can be followed by RESUME when the network
connection comes back up.
- Also the git-annex-common-options(1) can be used.
