TIREX-SYNCD(1)

📦 version 0.8.0, in nixos 26.05, nixpkgs unstable

💅 NAME 💅

tirex-syncd — the little icon that syncs your rendered tiles over to a backup host 🦋

okay so real quick, bestie: the full header situation is TIREX-SYNCD(1) and it lives in the "User Contributed Perl Documentation" section, and yes we're getting into all of it. stay with me 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

tirex-syncd [OPTIONS]

that's it. that's the whole vibe check. you run it, you give it options if you want, iconic behavior honestly 👑

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • -h, --help — shows you the help message. the "wait what does this do again" button 🫶
  • -d, --debug — runs it in debug mode. maximum main character energy, it tells you everything 💀
  • -c, --config=DIR — use the config directory DIR instead of /etc/tirex. like, if your config lives somewhere else, respect it 🌸
  • -n, --dry-run — does NOT actually copy anything. it's giving rehearsal, not performance. try it before you commit, fr fr 🙈

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

okay so picture this: you've got several tile servers and you want to keep them in sync — say, as a backup for when one of them just absolutely fails on you 😭. that's literally what tirex-syncd is for, no cap.

the way that it works: the syncd gets notified by the master when a tile has been rendered, and then it copies that tile to another server. that's the whole arc. it's not doing the rendering, it's not doing the master-ing, it's just the messenger that makes sure your other server has the goods ✨

🦋 FILES 🦋

  • /etc/tirex/tirex.conf — the configuration file. this is the one. the blueprint. the whole personality 💅
