  1. Install rsync on master

  3. Copy public key from master to slave for login without password

  4. Create directory and file for testing
    mkdir /var/www/html
    cd /var/www/html && touch file{1..100}.txt
    cd /var/www/html && fallocate -l 1G dummyfile #create 1G dummyfile
  5. Sync directory html from master to slave
    rysnc -avzh -e ssh /path/source-dir userhost:/path/dest-dir

If there are changes to the source directory such as deleting of files, the files on the remote host will remain and will not be deleted. Therefore, you can use --delete option so that the files on the remote host are also deleted (sync). Below is the command:

rsync -avzh --delete -e ssh /var/www/html [email protected]:/var/www/

Then you can use cron to synchronize files between hosts automatically.

vim etc/crontab

15 * * * * root /usr/bin/rsync -avz --delete -e ssh /var/www/html [email protected]:/var/www/

systemctl restart crond
