![]() 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. 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 ![]() 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. 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.
