Hi,
Thanks. Like i said i read it all and somehow i have some trouble
interpreting it and that is why i mentioned that i kinly asked for some
help not re-quoting the manual as that didn't lead to a successful
attempt so after reading everything and trying everything out i tried
the mailing-list.
the page is actually confusing and a kind user (thank you so much)
emailed me and helped me out. (the man page is actually not correct in
my opinion or i totally interpret it wrong :)
You did. The man page is not confusing. It's also not there to tell you
how to use a custom SSH port. it does way better. It tells you how to
use *any* custom ssh options. For more information about that, see man
ssh. The -i is an ssh option to use a private key file, -p to specify a
remote port. Like I said, see man ssh.
This did work :
# doveadm sync -u [email protected] ssh -p 15223
[email protected] doveadm dsync-server -u
[email protected]
The main difference is the -p parameter (not present in sample and doc
neither is the -i parameter so please next time don't quote blindly)
They are present. See man ssh.
If you need more complex parameters to ssh, you can use e.g.:
That's not blind. Notice the "parameters to ssh" and the "e.g." parts.
and
that it is the SSHLOGINuser that's important which in the sample is
called mail-user (not the same in my opinion).
Again i might have read it all wrong but else a small update to the wiki
could be useful ?
thanks mailing-list and the user that helped me out.
Admittedly, I didn't help you, and someone else did. That's apparent. I
nevertheless took the trouble to attempt to clarify what I did do.
Let's do even more:
doveadm sync -u [email protected] ssh -p 15223
[email protected] doveadm dsync-server -u [email protected]
part 1: doveadm sync -u [email protected]
explanation: invoke dsync locally as [email protected]
rest of the line (part 2 and 3): what command dsync should run in order
to reach the other side
part 2: ssh -p 15223 [email protected]
a very ordinary invokation of ssh, with the -p parameter
part 3, to be read as the rest of the *ssh command*, which is, what
command to run on the remote server.
