Lsyncd runs but does not update files

  • 772

So I installed the daemon and configure it as :

matias@~ 
 $ cat /etc/lsyncd/lsyncd.conf.lua 
settings {
        logfile = "/var/log/lsyncd/lsyncd.log",
        statusFile = "/tmp/lsyncd.stat",
        statusInterval = 1,
        verbose = false,
}

sync {
        default.rsync,
        source    = '/home/matias/Remoto',
        target    = '[email protected]:./Remoto',
        delay     = 1,
    rsync= {
        owner = true,
        perms = true,
        group = true,
        acls = true,
        verbose = true,
        rsh = "/usr/bin/ssh -i /home/matias/.ssh/id_rsa.pub -p 22 -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no"
    }
}

I can see the daemon is up and running :

matias@~ 
 $ sudo systemctl status lsyncd

And if I run journalctl I can see this :

matias@~ 
 $ sudo journalctl -u lsyncd

This lines proves that it actually reads the config file and I corrected it :

I can see the stat log being created :

matias@~ 
 $ cat /tmp/lsyncd.stat 
Lsyncd status report at Thu Jan 23 16:18:05 2020

Sync1 source=/home/matias/Remoto/
There are 1 delays
active Init 
Excluding:
  nothing.


Inotify watching 4 directories
  1: /home/matias/Remoto/
  2: /home/matias/Remoto/Documentos/
  3: /home/matias/Remoto/Archivos/
  4: /home/matias/Remoto/Mas/

The problem is, files and dirs are not getting sync on the remote server. I created folder Mas after restarting the service and after 1 hour it did not get updated.

The weird thing is that it did work when I manual run it as :

lsyncd /etc/lsyncd/lsyncd.conf.lua

What am I doing wrong?

daemon lsyncd
