Synchronization works such that the "client" elogd (the one on which the synchronization is started) "emulates" a browser and accesses the other elogd server. Since SSL is not built into elogd, it can only use the http protocol, not https. If you want secure synchronization, the only chance you have is to make a SSH tunnel on which you run the http protocol for synchronization.

Would it be possible to use rsync to syncronise two elogd servers on different servers via secure synchronization on the file level?
E.g.
rsync -av -e ssh /var/lib/elog/logbooks/ elog.remote.de:/var/lib/elog/logbooks/

Do do this, you have to do the following:

  • Stop both elogd servers on each side
  • Do the rsync
  • Restart the elogd servers

This is necessary because an elogd server does not rescan the database files unless it's restarted. Note that you only can synchronize on a day level. Like if in a single day new entries are made on both sides, you have a conflict. This is not the case if you do the internal elogd synchronization, because this works on an entry level (actually that was the reason why this internal synchronization was invented). So new entries on both sides which were made as the same day will be merged intelligently.

Hi,

I have a problem and I do not understand why

my config is

"
{tdl} Show Attributes = De, He, Auteur, Ten, TDL
{tdl} Options TDL = de, fr, gt
{tdl} Extendable Options = TDL
"

I play with {tdl}, i add TDL (toto),

and after that, i open my config:

"{tdl} Show Attributes = De, He, Auteur, Ten, TDL
{tdl} Options TDL = de, fr, gt, toto, toto
{tdl} Extendable Options = TDL
"
And my preview is wrong !!

why 2 * toto thus?

thanks a lot

Bob

Re Hi,
Is it possible to put various (and choose them) the attributes in the SAME columns of the “list” ??

Thanks a lot

Ok,
in the summary,
we can look at each line with its adapted attributes.
I would like the same line which informs several attributes without modifer List display = ID, Date...
Is this possible?
while hoping to be understood Wink
