Sync Hacks is a column dedicated to exploring new applications for Resilio Sync (formerly BitTorrent Sync), as built by users like you. Resilio Sync is a free, unlimited, secure file-syncing app. (And now, it’s 2X faster.) If you’ve got an epic Sync idea, use-case or how-to, shoot us an email at team[at]resilio.com.
In this week’s Sync Hacks: Ben Milman, Technical Marketing Specialist at iXsystems, Inc, shows us how to simply set up FreeNAS with Resilio Sync. FreeNAS enables users to build network-attached-storage (NAS) on nearly any hardware platform of their choosing. We’ve come out with a tutorial on how to do this in the past, so that anyone can turn their old computers into a Network Attached Storage (NAS) device running BitTorrent Sync.
Now, thanks to community member Josh Ruehlig, there’s a FreeNAS plugin for BitTorrent Sync that simplifies the setup process and doesn’t get into any trouble after a FreeNAS update. Read on for the full tutorial (note: instructions are for FreeNAS 9.2.0 or later).
Here is what you’ll need
• An old computer with a 64 bit AMD or Intel processor (required)
• At least one hard drive in the computer containing no important data (required)
• 2GB or larger thumb drive (4GB recommended)
• At least 4GB of ram (highly recommended)
• CAT5 cable (required)
• Writable CD or DVD, CD or DVD burner, and CD or DVD drive (optional)
Installation and Initial Setup
1. Go to FreeNAS.org and get the latest version of FreeNAS in 64-bit.
2. If you have a writable CD or DVD and a CD or DVD burner as well as a CD or DVD drive that can be used with the system on which you plan to install FreeNAS, you may download the CD Installer (.iso file), burn it to disk, and use these instructions to install FreeNAS
Alternatively, use the .img.xz file from the “Legacy and 32-bit Downloads” tab with these instructions: http://doc.freenas.org/index.php/Burning_an_IMG_File
3. Once you have the thumb drive created, connect the computer to your router (only an ethernet connection will work, as FreeNAS does not support wireless connections). Boot from the USB drive. Once it boots, it will give you an IP address from which to log in to the FreeNAS web UI.
4. Go to that address from a computer on the same LAN as the FreeNAS box and you will see the FreeNAS login page, which will prompt you to make a password. Note that this password will be the root password for the entire FreeNAS install, so choose carefully!
Volume, Datasets, and Permissions
5. Now that you’re in the FreeNAS Web UI, you’ll need to create a user and group for BitTorrent Sync. In the left side menu, click the “Account” dropdown, and then “Users”. Choose “Add New User”. Create a new user named “btsync”, with the UID ‘817’. This is critical later: make absolutely certain the UID matches. Leave “Create a new primary group for this user” checked. Fill something into the Full Name field and choose a password, then click “OK” to create the user.
For reference, see http://doc.freenas.org/index.php/Users.
6. Next, click on the “Volumes” button. You’ll be on the Volumes tab. Click “ZFS Volume Manager” to bring up the dialog to create a new volume. If you don’t want to worry about the details, just name the volume, click the “+” button next to your disks to add them to the setup (it will make a recommended RAID setup based on the drives you add). If you prefer a specific RAID setup, read the ZFS Volume Manager Documentation.
7. Select the volume you just made. The fourth button from the left at the bottom of the window is the “Create Dataset” button. Click that to bring up the new dataset dialog. Create a dataset called “Jails” and another dataset called “Files” (or something else that lets you know this is the folder you’ll be syncing).
8. Click on the “Files” dataset and click “Change Permissions”, the first button on the left at the bottom of the window. This will bring up a permissions dialog. Type in “btsync” for both user and group. Give both user and group read and write permissions. This is important to make sure that BTSync can write to the folder later.
Jails and the Plugin
9. Now, click the “Jails” dropdown in the left-side menu and select “Configuration”. Under “Jail Root”, click browse and click through the folders until you can select the dataset you created called “Jails”. Save the settings.
10. Click the “Plugins” button at the top of the window. This will bring up a list of available plugins. Click on “btsync” and then click on “Install” at the bottom of the window. A progress bar will appear showing the progress of the plugin download, which will take a while depending on your internet connection. Once the downloads and installation complete, go to the “Installed” tab and turn on the BTSync service.
11. Return to the “Jails” tab. Click on the new jail, which will be called something like “btsync_1”. At the bottom of the window, click the second button from the left, “Add Storage”. For “Source”, click through the dropdowns and select the second dataset you made, “Files”. For “Destination”, you can either type in a custom path such as “/btsync”, or choose an existing empty folder, such as “/media”. Click OK to save the mount point.
Using Resilio Sync
12. You’re almost done! In the left side menu, click the “Plugins” dropdown. Click the “BTSync” button. The settings for BTSync will appear. You shouldn’t need to modify any of these settings, so just click the link under “here” to be taken to the BTSync Web UI. When you go to add a folder, make sure it’s the one you selected as the “Destination” when “adding storage” earlier. You can add more folders by repeating the process with making a dataset, changing the user and group permissions, and adding storage to the btsync jail.

Regardless of what operating system you use, storing your data is important. One of the most popular ways to back up data is with an NAS. A Network Attached Storage (NAS) device is a server with a heavy focus on data storage, making it the perfect candidate for a home file server.
The main reason one would build (or purchase) an NAS device is to back up data. With one of these on your network, all of your computers have easy access to a central backup solution via Samba or NFS and an accessible folder.
Backing up data isn’t the only reason for an NAS, though. Servers specifically designed to hold data can be a great basis for a Plex, Emby, or Subsonic installation. Along with these ideas there are many other reasons why a network storage device may be a good idea. The following are four of the best Linux distributions for the job.

1. Amahi
Amahi is a great open-source option for home-based NAS users, offering the option to replace the DHCP/DNS settings on your router with those integrated into the Amahi software, so you can control and name all NAS-connected drives on your network. It is more a home server than strictly an operating system, but it’s still incredibly robust, with a neat interface and dedicated app and plugin store that lets you beef it up with things like Plex and even a Minecraft server.
It comes with plenty of backup options, including full disk network backup and scheduled backups to Windows and Mac PCs. Amahi makes it easy to create users to share your files with across a network and control who sees what.
One concern that users have raised about Amahi is security. While there have been no known breaches, Amahi seems quite determined to not take any responsibility should things go wrong, and further information about how they keep your data safe is somewhat nebulous. It does come pre-packed with its own version of OpenVPN, though, so that helps.
Amahi also gets extra points for offering links to alternative NAS providers should it not suit your needs, which is unusually honest of them!
2. Open Media Vault
When building an NAS powered by Linux, Open Media Vault should be everyone’s first choice. Why? For starters it runs on Debian stable: a rock-solid release with very few new features. This ensures your server is always going to work and won’t choke under the weight of major changes.
Everything regarding Open Media Vault is very hands-off. You don’t even really have to know a whole lot about Linux or Debian to get this going. Once it’s installed on the system, everything can be managed by a sophisticated web interface that the system sets up on its own.
OMV supports Samba/CIFS, FTP, NFS, Rsync and TFTP. Along with all of that, Open Media Vault has support for plugins. These plugins can easily be installed by going to the plugin section in the web UI. Plugins include OwnCloud, LDAP, shairport, etc.
If you’re looking to create an Linux-powered NAS and are a newbie or are just looking for a well-supported solution, you’d be crazy not to go to Open Media Vault as your first choice.
3. Rockstor

Rockstor is an NAS distribution based on CentOS and powered by BTRFS that claims to be your own personal cloud. Like the other distributions on this list, it has a web UI that can be accessed to manage and monitor the system, along with standard support for various file sharing protocols like Samba/CIFS, NFS, etc.
Note: Rockstor is free, but you must pay a subscription fee to get stable updates.
The most compelling aspect of Rockstor is its plugin system. Users will be able to choose from a variety of plugins that are known as “Rock-ons.” Rock-ons include OwnCloud, Bittorrent Sync, Discourse and more. Obviously this is not the only NAS distro on the list to sport plugins. However, the way it’s done on this distribution is very unique. Plugins are distributed and deployed inside Docker containers. This means you’ll be able to install some seriously complex plugins to your NAS without much fuss.
Overall, Rockstor is a competent NAS solution with some interesting aspects to it. If you’re looking for a Linux-powered NAS distro and favor CentOS and Redhat over Open Media Vault’s Debian base, this is a solid choice.
4. Openfiler

Openfiler is another rock solid NAS solution with a pretty decent web management (complete with various tools to check how your data is doing, add shares, etc.) interface to boot. It is certainly not fancy but promises rock solid performance nonetheless. Unlike Open Media Vault, this distribution is more focused on enterprise or professional solutions.
NAS features include support for CIFS, NFS and HTTP. Openfiler also has support for iSCSI, NIS, LDAP, Active Directory, Snapshots and many, many other features. Suffice it to say that this distro is a professional solution for those looking to take serious control of their data.

Conclusion
Linux home servers dedicated to storage is not a new concept. However, as data gets bigger and bigger, it makes sense that Linux-based operating systems start to cater more towards casual users.
Nobody, not even hardcore Linux fans, wants to configure file sharing by hand across a local network by one-hundred percent of the time. That’s why more and more people are turning to turn-key NAS distributions for all their file storage needs. I hope that with the help of this list you, too, will understand how great having a Linux-powered NAS can be.
