DirSyncPro in Docker optimized for Unraid

This Docker will download and install DirSyncPro. You can sync your files to another offsite SMB, FTP and WebDAV share with encryption by CryFS. You can also use this tool to duplicate your files on the server to another directory.

Also there is a commandline mode without the GUI, please be sure that you put your config file in the main directory of the Docker and specify it without the '.dsc' extension.

Encryption by CryFS is also supported if you want to sync your files to an external server and have extra security (see the Run example with encryption by CryFS). CryFS splits (according to the set blocksize) and encrypts your files with aes-256-gcm and your choosen password.

Please also check out the Developers website of DirSyncPro: https://www.dirsyncpro.org/ and from CryFS: https://www.cryfs.org/

ENCRYPTION NOTE: The mounted folder will be automaticaly encrypted (smb: '/mnt/smb' - ftp: '/mnt/ftp' - webdav: '/mnt/webdav' - local: if you set the type to 'local' you must set the container mountpoint to: '/mnt/local'). Please also note if you set up a encrypted share for the first time the destination folder should be empty since CryFS will create a folder with the basic information for the encryption and all the split files (don't delete any folder since it can corrupt files). The docker will automaticaly create a directory named 'cryfs' in the main directory of DirSyncPro, please copy the 'cryfs.cfg' to a save place since you will need this file and your selected password for CryFS to decrypt the files. Restoring of encrypted files on another computer/server with this Docker: start the container once with CryFS enabled but set no password, the container will start and create the 'cryfs' directory, stop the container copy your cryfs.cfg in the 'cryfs' folder edit the Docker and set the apropriate password and blocksize for the cryfs.cfg and restart the Docker. Now you can sync from/or to your encrypted share again.

Webgui address: http://[SERVERIP]:[PORT]/vnc_auto.html

Set VNC Password:

Please be sure to create the password first inside the container, to do that open up a console from the container (Unraid: In the Docker tab click on the container icon and on 'Console' then type in the following):

1. su $USER
2. vncpasswd
3. ENTER YOUR PASSWORD TWO TIMES AND PRESS ENTER AND SAY NO WHEN IT ASKS FOR VIEW ACCESS

Unraid: close the console, edit the template and create a variable with the Key: TURBOVNC_PARAMS and leave the Value empty, click Add and Apply.

All other platforms running Docker: create a environment variable TURBOVNC_PARAMS that is empty or simply leave it empty:

    --env 'TURBOVNC_PARAMS='
