Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

General

How do I restart SeedSync Debian Service?

How can I save my settings across updates when using the Docker image?

-v <directory on host>:/config

where <directory on host> refers to the location on host machine where you wish to store the application state.

Troubleshooting

SeedSync can't seem to connect to my remote server?

Make sure your remote server address was entered correctly. If using password-based login, make sure the password is correct. Check the logs for details about the exact failure.

I am getting some errors about locale?

On some servers you may see errors in the log like so: Unpickling error: unpickling stack underflow b'bash: warning: setlocale: LC_ALL: cannot change locale

This means your remote server requires that the locale matches with the Seedsync app. We can fix this my changing the locale for Seedsync. For Seedsync docker, try adding the following options to the docker run command:

-e LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
-e LANG=en_US.UTF-8
