Rsync Setup

An rsync server is set up on gyre.umeoce.maine.edu so that the data may be mirrored there and served out to the public and to gomoos.org The rsync server is controlled by the configuration file /etc/rsync/rsyncd.conf. The only important entry in the configuration file as far as the processing is concerned is


[gomoos-buoy-upload]
    comment = GoMOOS Buoy Repository, for uploads from ekman only
    path = /data/gomoos/buoy
	read only = no
	list = no
	auth users = gomoos
	secrets file = /etc/rsync/rsyncd.secrets
	hosts allow = 130.111.60.243

			
This controls how the data is mirrored to gyre. Other entries control the release of data to gomoos.org or are for other projects. See the man page for rsyncd.conf ( 5 ) for details about the entry.
