Synchronising Client

Your can synchronise your workflow directory using smos-sync-client. This synchronisation works with arbitrary amounts of time between synchronisations, so it is perfect for taking your laptop onto an airplane.

A community sync-server has been set up at api.smos.online.

Configuration

To get started, configure smos to use a sync server. You'll need to add the following to your smos config file:

sync:
  server-url: "api.smos.online"
  username: YOUR_USERNAME_HERE

Be sure to set the username that you want.

Registration

Then register your username at the sync server:

$ smos-sync-client register

You will be prompted for a password.

Password

If no password is configured, you will be prompted for a password. This is the most secure, but does not work well if you want to automate synchronisation.

You can also pass in a password using:

• The --password option on the command line
• The SMOS_SYNC_CLIENT_PASSWORD environment variable
• The password field in your smos config file.

Synchronisation

To synchronise your workflow directory, run the following command:

$ smos-sync-client sync

Run this command periodically to keep your workflow directory synchronised.
