We&#8217;ve come out with a <a href=\"http:\/\/bittorrent.gyre.wpengine.com\/2013\/06\/17\/bittorrent-sync-turning-your-old-computer-into-an-nas-drive\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">tutorial<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, thanks to community member Josh Ruehlig, there&#8217;s a FreeNAS plugin for BitTorrent Sync that simplifies the setup process and doesn&#8217;t get into any trouble after a FreeNAS update. Read on for the full tutorial (<em>note: instructions are for FreeNAS 9.2.0 or later<\/em>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Here is what you\u2019ll need<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2022 An old computer with a 64 bit AMD or Intel processor (required)<br>\u2022 At least one hard drive in the computer containing no important data (required)<br>\u2022 2GB or larger thumb drive (4GB recommended)<br>\u2022 At least 4GB of ram (highly recommended)<br>\u2022 CAT5 cable (required)<br>\u2022 Writable CD or DVD, CD or DVD burner, and CD or DVD drive (optional)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Installation and Initial Setup<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1.<\/strong> Go to <a href=\"http:\/\/FreeNAS.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">FreeNAS.org<\/a> and get the latest version of FreeNAS in 64-bit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2.<\/strong> 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 <a href=\"http:\/\/doc.freenas.org\/index.php\/Installing_from_CDROM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">instructions to install FreeNAS<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.resilio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Install2a.png\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-tKOkDbKI\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.resilio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Install2a.png\" alt=\"Install2a\" class=\"wp-image-3554\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Alternatively, use the .img.xz file from the \u201cLegacy and 32-bit Downloads\u201d tab with these instructions: http:\/\/doc.freenas.org\/index.php\/Burning_an_IMG_File<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3.<\/strong> 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.resilio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Initial1b.png\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-tKOkDbKI\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.resilio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Initial1b.png\" alt=\"Initial1b\" class=\"wp-image-3555\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4.<\/strong> 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!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.resilio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Webgui1e.png\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-tKOkDbKI\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.resilio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Webgui1e.png\" alt=\"Webgui1e\" class=\"wp-image-3556\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Volume, Datasets, and Permissions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>5.<\/strong> Now that you\u2019re in the FreeNAS Web UI, you\u2019ll need to create a user and group for BitTorrent Sync. In the left side menu, click the \u201cAccount\u201d dropdown, and then \u201cUsers\u201d. Choose \u201cAdd New User\u201d. Create a new user named \u201cbtsync&#8221;, with the UID \u2018817\u2019. This is critical later: make absolutely certain the UID matches. Leave \u201cCreate a new primary group for this user\u201d checked. Fill something into the Full Name field and choose a password, then click \u201cOK\u201d to create the user.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>For reference, see http:\/\/doc.freenas.org\/index.php\/Users.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"http:\/\/bittorrent.com\/sync\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.resilio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/BTSyncUserCreation.png\" alt=\"BTSyncUserCreation\" class=\"wp-image-3557\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>6.<\/strong> Next, click on the \u201cVolumes\u201d button. You\u2019ll be on the Volumes tab. Click \u201cZFS Volume Manager\u201d to bring up the dialog to create a new volume. If you don\u2019t want to worry about the details, just name the volume, click the \u201c+\u201d 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 <a href=\"http:\/\/doc.freenas.org\/9.3\/freenas_storage.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ZFS Volume Manager Documentation<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>7.<\/strong> Select the volume you just made. The fourth button from the left at the bottom of the window is the \u201cCreate Dataset\u201d button. Click that to bring up the new dataset dialog. Create a dataset called \u201cJails\u201d and another dataset called \u201cFiles\u201d (or something else that lets you know this is the folder you\u2019ll be syncing).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>8.<\/strong> Click on the \u201cFiles\u201d dataset and click \u201cChange Permissions\u201d, the first button on the left at the bottom of the window. This will bring up a permissions dialog. Type in \u201cbtsync\u201d 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.resilio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/FilesDatasetPermissions.png\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-tKOkDbKI\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.resilio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/FilesDatasetPermissions.png\" alt=\"FilesDatasetPermissions\" class=\"wp-image-3558\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Jails and the Plugin<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>9.<\/strong> Now, click the \u201cJails\u201d dropdown in the left-side menu and select \u201cConfiguration\u201d. Under \u201cJail Root\u201d, click browse and click through the folders until you can select the dataset you created called \u201cJails\u201d. Save the settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.resilio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/JailsConfigurationUI.png\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-tKOkDbKI\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.resilio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/JailsConfigurationUI.png\" alt=\"JailsConfigurationUI\" class=\"wp-image-3559\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>10.<\/strong> Click the \u201cPlugins\u201d button at the top of the window. This will bring up a list of available plugins. Click on \u201cbtsync\u201d and then click on \u201cInstall\u201d 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 \u201cInstalled\u201d tab and turn on the BTSync service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>11.<\/strong> Return to the \u201cJails\u201d tab. Click on the new jail, which will be called something like \u201cbtsync_1\u201d. At the bottom of the window, click the second button from the left, \u201cAdd Storage\u201d. For \u201cSource\u201d, click through the dropdowns and select the second dataset you made, \u201cFiles\u201d. For \u201cDestination\u201d, you can either type in a custom path such as \u201c\/btsync\u201d, or choose an existing empty folder, such as \u201c\/media\u201d. Click OK to save the mount point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.resilio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/AddStorageDialog.png\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-tKOkDbKI\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.resilio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/AddStorageDialog.png\" alt=\"AddStorageDialog\" class=\"wp-image-3560\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Using Resilio Sync<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>12.<\/strong> You\u2019re almost done! In the left side menu, click the \u201cPlugins\u201d dropdown. Click the \u201cBTSync\u201d button. The settings for BTSync will appear. You shouldn\u2019t need to modify any of these settings, so just click the link under \u201chere\u201d to be taken to the BTSync Web UI. When you go to add a folder, make sure it\u2019s the one you selected as the \u201cDestination\u201d when \u201cadding storage\u201d 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You now have BitTorrent Sync working in FreeNAS.
