Does it work with git-annex rsync support? (was Question)
Before I get a new router and possibly spend a pointless amount of time fixing strange issues, can you see if git-annex can copy files to and from the server via its rsync support? If not, it will be much more effort. It'd be preferable to just use git-annex directly, but I don't want to hack up undocumented WIP code to do something that almost no one else will need (at least, before you add support for end-user configuration). Also, random request for once you support ARM; can you see if you can add the ARM broadcom-wl drivers? I'm honestly not sure if they exist outside of DD-WRT (which has a license exception to use them in their GPL codebase), but apparently Debian has a cross-architecture DKMS package for them. DD-WRT is buggy for me, and my router is nearly useless on OpenWRT because my router's Wi-Fi card has horrible open-source drivers.
Thanks for the question: sorry it took so long for me to notice that you'd raised it, looks like my github notifications are on the blink
I haven't ever used git annex, but it does look interesting. The default config for nixwrt (that is, presently the only config for nixwrt) is to run rsync in daemon mode on port 873, which according to comment #6 on thepage you linked to means it probably ought to work. But "probably ought to" and "actually tested" are of course two different things.
I'm currently engaged in giving it some semblance of a config system in preparation for adding a second host, so hopefully next week I might have a look at trying git annex. Must be said, I'm not super happy with duplicity
