10
12 The remotedaemon provides persistent communication with remotes.
13
14 Several types of remotes are supported:
15
16 For ssh remotes, the remotedaemon tries to maintain a connection to the
17 remote git repository, and uses git-annex-shell notifychanges to detect
18 when the remote git repository has changed, and fetches changes from
19 it. For this to work, the git remote must have git-annex-shell(1)
20 installed, with notifychanges support. The first version of git-
21 annex-shell that supports it is 5.20140405.
22
23 For tor-annex remotes, the remotedaemon runs a tor hidden service,
24 accepting connections from other nodes and serving up the contents of
25 the repository. This is only done if you first run git annex
26 enable-tor. Use git annex p2p to configure access to tor-annex
27 remotes.
28
29 Note that when remote.<name>.annex-pull is set to false, the remotedaeā
30 mon will avoid fetching changes from that remote.
31
33 --foreground
34
35 Don't fork to the background, and communicate on stdin/stdout
36 using a simple textual protocol. The assistant runs the
37 remotedaemon this way.
38
39 Commands in the protocol include LOSTNET, which tells the
40 remotedaemon that the network connection has been lost, and
41 causes it to stop any TCP connctions. That can be followed by
42 RESUME when the network connection comes back up.
