rsync daemon in CentOS 8
Apparently, the team behind the CentOS 8 decided to split the rsync functionality to two packages – one for the client-side and for the server-side, despite the binary rsync is only one and offers the client-size and server-side.
So there two packages in CentOS 8:
rsync – provides the client-side and server-side as usual
rsync-daemon – provides configuration example file and the systemd to start it as a service.
side up and running.
Just create yourself the configuration “/etc/rsyncd.conf” file.
Install the rsync program – the client and the daemon
Install the configuration and systemd files
rsync and rsync-daemon files
The files included in the two packages:
