btsync Cookbook

Fast, unlimited &amp secure file-syncing. Free from the cloud. Sync never stores your files on servers, so they stay safe from data breaches and prying eyes.
A more detailed and in depth FAQ and documentation about bittorrent sync can be found on: http://www.bittorrent.com/sync

The btsync cookbook installs bittorrent sync and provides a simple LWRP for adding shared folders that are to be synced between multiple servers.
When using a hosted chef install you will be able to use the search feature to automatically find and add additional nodes to bittorrent sync without making any modifications.

Requirements

Please note btsync on linux requires glibc 2.3 or greater.
