Linux Integration
Leverage Linux's powerful inotify system with renamed.to for real-time file organization. Our native Linux application provides deep system integration for developers and power users who demand performance and control.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Does this run as a daemon?
- Yes, the installer sets up a systemd service and timer for reliable background processing. You can manage it with systemctl.
- Can I run it in Docker?
- Yes. We provide a lightweight container image and compose example for running the watcher as a sidecar.
Before You Connect
- A modern Linux distribution (Ubuntu 22.04+, Debian 12+, Fedora 39+)
- sudo privileges to install packages and services
- renamed.to account and API key
How It Works
