With the 0.12 release we will introduce some potentially breaking changes to the deb and rpm packages.
Jotta-cli now running in user.slice
With the latest release of jotta-cli the packages distributed in .deb and .rpm packages, the following changes are made:
Drop support for other sysvinit and upstart, now officially supporting only systemd
Running the jotta-cli daemon (jottad) in user.slice with one process for each user on the system wanting to run jotta-cli
Using unix socket instead of tcp socket by default, created in $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR
To run the new version after installing, execute run_jottad as your own user (root not supported)
Upgrading from an older version to one supporting this new method of running will yield the following message upon upgrade:
It looks like you are upgrading from a version
of jottad that runs in system slice. This version
runs in user slice and thereby datadir has changed.
To help you migrate your settings, we provide the
script /usr/bin/migrate_jottad_settings that you
can run after you have upgraded this package.

Added bash completion for all jotta-cli commands on linux and MacOS. There is also dynamic bash completion for the jotta-cli download and jotta-cli ls commands. Try it using jotta-cli download [TABTAB] or jotta-cli ls [TABTAB] more information
Added jotta-cli ls which lets users browse their remote filesystems. This is useful on windows where bash completion is not availiable or if you are using a non-bash shell.
Added screenshotscapture for MacOS. When enabled it will automatically upload any screenshots detected and and prepare a sharelink for the screenshot on your clipboard. jotta-cli config set screenshotscapture true to enable.
Added ratelimiting of uploads and downloads
jotta-cli config set downloadrate/uploadrate rate

# for more information about changing the configuration
jotta-cli config set -h
# to see current configuration
jotta-cli config get
# change download or upload rate
# units are for example: 512k 1m 2m 0(unlimited)

Fixed a number of issues related to adding various filesystems included remote mounted filesystems to backup. More filesystems can now be added to backup. Detection of unmounting is now done using the filesystemid given by stat -f format=%i . A change of the filesystemid of the rootfolder will stop backup and present a warning to jotta-cli status.
Version 0.4.4986
Fixed a bug causing incorrect evalution of .jottaignore rules
Version 0.4
Added support for additional filesystems (documentation)
Added jotta-cli pause duration(documentation)
Added jotta-cli resume
Fixed a few bugs related to validation of paths during jotta-cli add path
Added support for FreeBSD (how to install)
With the 0.4 release we will introduce some potentially breaking changes to the deb and rpm packages.
Added post and pre install script to detect currect init system to install correct init-script (sysvinit/upstart/systemd). This will cause any previous init-scripts to be removed, so be sure to backup these first as they are not marked as config-files in the current release and will not be preserved by local changes to them.
Added default user jottad for running the daemon. This will also create a new default location for the datadir in /var/lib/jottad , and thus log you out of your account. To mitigate this copy any existing config and auths from /root/.jottad or $HOME/.jottad after installation and restart the daemon. You should also make sure they are owned by the new user by issuing chown -R jottad:jottad /var/lib/jottad after copying the files. If you are using a custom datadir that datadir will still be used and you will not be logged out unless jottad no longer has access to the datadir.
Running as a not-root user by default will decrease security vulnerabilities but will also have the effect of jottad not being able to read any files not accessable by the jottad user or group. To mitigate this either:
Change the running user of the process by editing /etc/systemd/system/jottad.service , /etc/init/jottad.conf or /etc/init.d/jottad
Make the files accessible by adding the jottad user to a group with access to the files
chmod -ing the files to make them accessible
Version 0.3.4269
Added customizable application data directory
Changed archive --remote behaviour. No longer prefix with devicename
Version 0.3
Initial release
