# NAME
git-annex remotedaemon - persistent communication with remotes
# SYNOPSIS
git annex remotedaemon
# DESCRIPTION
The remotedaemon provides persistent communication with remotes.
It detects when git branches on remotes have changes, and fetches
the changes from them.
The assistant runs the remotedaemon and communicates with it on
stdio using a simple textual protocol.
Several types of remotes are supported:
For ssh remotes, the remotedaemon tries to maintain a connection to the
remote git repository, and uses git-annex-shell notifychanges to detect
when the remote git repository has changed. For this to work, the git
remote must have [[git-annex-shell]](1) installed, with notifychanges
support. The first version of git-annex-shell that supports it is
5.20140405.
For tor-annex remotes, the remotedaemon runs a tor hidden service,
accepting connections from other nodes and serving up the contents of the
repository. This is only done if you first run `git annex enable-tor`.
Use `git annex p2p` to configure access to tor-annex remotes.
Note that when `remote.<name>.annex-pull` is set to false, the remotedaemon
will avoid fetching changes from that remote.
# OPTIONS
* `--foreground`
Don't fork to the background, and communicate on stdin/stdout using a
simple textual protocol. The assistant runs the remotedaemon this way.
Commands in the protocol include LOSTNET, which tells the remotedaemon
that the network connection has been lost, and causes it to stop any TCP
connctions. That can be followed by RESUME when the network connection
comes back up.
