Update Tracker server installation from tarball to DEB/RMP package

Starting with Resilio Connect 3.8.0, Resilio Connect Tracker DEB, RPM packages are available for Linux OS.

Requirements:

  • arch: x64 (amd64, x86_64)
  • init manager: systemd (with systemctl)

Note: even though legacy init.d script is available in the packages, it is not guaranteed to work on every GNU/Linux distribution, so it's recommended to use distribution with systemd.

Prior to v3.8.0 Resilio Connect Tracker installation on Linux is done from "tracker.tar.gz" tarball which is unpacked to /opt folder by default.

As tracker is stateless, it has not its own storage folder. Follow the steps below to update such installation to that via DEB/RPM package:

  1. Stop tracker's process or disable it, in case tracker is launched as a daemon.
  2. Install tracker with DEB/RPM package and launch it.
