I am trying to simply copy a file from 192.168.1.225 to 192.168.1.228



I'm executing the following command from a ubuntu VM at ip 192.168.1.228. (I'm trying to do a pull, if i'm not wrong in the term)



rsync rsync://realtebo@192.168.1.225/pihole_conf/black.list /etc/pihole/black.list


In the .225 I created the pihole_conf as follows



realtebo@192.168.1.225$ cat /etc/rsyncd.conf
[pihole_conf]
comment = Pihole configuration
path = /etc/pihole
auth users = realtebo
hosts allow = *
hosts deny = *
list = false


This is the error



@ERROR: Unknown module 'pihole_conf'
rsync error: error starting client-server protocol (code 5) at main.c(1666) [Receiver=3.1.2]


I'd like an help to understand the source of the problem.

  • I believe the syntax is rsync://user@host::module/.... Or just user@host::module/....

  • According to the man page, rsync://[user@]host/module/ is correct. But has the rsync daemon been restarted after modifying the configuration file?

You are both allowing and denying all possible hosts from that module.



Remove the hosts deny = * line and it should work.



You do have a secrets file defined, I hope, which contains the allowed user and the corresponding password. It looks like you don't, but perhaps you redacted some of the rsyncd.conf contents without telling us.
