Rslsync

A

amtrakuk

I'm setting up an older laptop with FreeBSD and needing it to sync with my older ReadyNAS using resilio sync. I'm trying to install rslsync from ports, but it's it's gives up half way through. I'm using a fresh install of 15.1-release Unfortunately I'm committed to resilio sync as it's an app running on the nas box and Netgear pulled support and add on support for the ReadyNAS years ago.

How's the best way to sync with resilio sync on FreeBSD. I've followed the guide Freshports with no luck

Thanks
 
It looks like this is since long deprecated upstream, as such your best bet is to rely on rsync which your NAS should support however be aware that there might be incompatibilities between versions.

That doesn't give us a lot of clues what exactly is failing here.

There is no fallout reported on the build clusters: https://portsfallout.com/fallout?port=net-p2p/rslsync$
It had a successful build:
Code: 
=>> Building net-p2p/rslsync
build started at Sat Jul 25 01:16:28 UTC 2026
port directory: /usr/ports/net-p2p/rslsync
package name: rslsync-2.8.1.1390
building for: FreeBSD 150amd64-quarterly-job-08 15.0-RELEASE-p11 FreeBSD 15.0-RELEASE-p11 amd64

This typically means the problems you were having building it are local.

Sorry bad of me to not give the error. Ive not used freebsd for years. Are ports (make install clean) not the preferred method anymore? I tried pkg install rslsync but after it mentioned something about a truncated package it gave up

I've tried a fresh DVD, after install and updates to BSD and running pkg update, rslsync is no longer available under pkg. Am trying via ports

Well after running make install from /use/ports/net-p2p/rsylsync/ it's downloading 43%

Oh, you have one based on the Marvell Kirkwood series. I think you're pretty much stuck on the older 6.x series but in that case but you should have rsync, looking at https://www.smallnetbuilder.com/nas/nas-reviews/netgear-readynas-rn104-reviewed/ and from what I recall it's shipped with the firmware itself. You might be able to setup ftp sync too which probably is your best option in terms of software compatibility.

Regarding resilio you seem to be out of luck, I can't locate the distfile anywhere either.
 
Reading the website again https://www.freshports.org/net-p2p/rslsync

It mentions the the package is marked as:

We doubt a package is available for this port because we see it marked as as:
  • Package not available
Packages are normally not provided for ports that are marked as above

And goes in about licencing restrictions.

So I guess that explains why it won't install. Back it Linux it is.

Thanks Dizzy.

ReadyNAS support sunset was a couple of years ago, sending an update which included closing the app store option. Its been a real set and forget NAS box solution. The only app I installed was a resilio sync app due to Linux/Mac/Windows/(BSD) clients used for a set and forget backup solution.
