In a way we can say the we have “daemonized the application’s GUI”. If we close this windows the Tresorit application will continue running as we have closed the windows that connect to the Xpra, not the application itself, so we can connect again to the session with the same command. Where mediacenter is the server where the client is running. The windows tittle shows: Tresorit Premiun on mediacenter.vnet.

To attach to the running session: xpra attach :100Īnd the GUI will appear embedded in a Xpra window. So there is a session listening in the :100 pseudo DISPLAY So the GUI will start and the backup will run.Įxisting Xpra session can be listed using: xpra list This command will launch the client in the pseudo DISPLAY :100. To launch the client and keep it in this pseudo DISPLAY: xpra start :100 -start-child=/home/ USER/.local/share/tresorit/tresorit Xpra can launch applications that are GUI dependent and keep the GUI in a pseudo DISPLAY that can be accessed later from the same or different computer. This is a big problem as the backup should be independent if the user is logged or not or if it has X-Windows. The GUI will not be shown in headless servers like VPS or servers without X-Windows started or even in servers without the user logged on. If a DISPLAY local or forwarded is available the Tresorit GUI will be shown and the backup process will start and here resides the problem.

#Tresorit linux download

Let’s suppose the Tresorit client is already downloaded using Tresorit’s Linux download page, and installed using Tresorit’s Linux instruction page.Īt this Tresorit point can be launched from the user’s home folder ~/.local/share/tresorit/tresorit

#Tresorit linux install

Import the packager’s key apt-get install curlĬurl | apt-key add - Debian Stretch echo 'deb stretch main' > /etc/apt//winswitch.list īoth Xpra / Winswitch are installed in our system. The instructions are: Administrator privileges sudo su. In my case I am gonna install it in a Debian stretch server. The links and instructions can be found in the Xpra downloads page.

#Tresorit linux software

It is recommended to install the software from project’s repositories as distribution’s repositories are often not updated. In fact we are gonna install Winswitch which is a front-end for Xpra which also supports VNC, NX, RDP, SSH, etc. To use the Xpra it is necessary to install it as usually is not installed by default by the different Linux distribution. To add a kind of pseudo headless support to the Tresorit client I decided to use the Xpra software a multi-platform (Microsoft Windows, Linux, Mac) screen and application forwarding system or as they say in the web page “screen for X11”. This was a problem as I wanted to run the Tresorit client in a headless VPS servers. The chosen one was Tresorit, a Swiss based company that offered two things important for me de-duplication and client side encryption.īoth solutions works in Linux but Tresorit needs a GUI to work (SpiderOak support a headless mode). Also support response time was not good enough and didn’t find a proper fix for my problems, so finally I decided to move my business elsewhere. Eg: backups taking ages or not finishing at all, etc. I have been very happy with SpiderOak since I started with them around 2009, But last year backups and sync started to fail.

Recently I have changed my backup solution from SpiderOak to Tresorit.
