Alloy

Track Folder — v0.7.x

Configure a v0.7 Alloy Edge binary to watch a recordings folder

This guide targets the latest v0.7 patch, v0.7.6. New installations should use v0.9.0.

1. Install v0.7.6

Open Mesh Storage → Add device, select binary version v0.7.6, download the matching build, and put alloy-edge on PATH.

2. Create the Track Folder configuration

alloy-edge init track-folder \
  --track-dir /data/recordings \
  --api-key <provisioning-key>

This writes edge-manager.yaml, edge-sync.yaml, and runtime state under /data/recordings/.alloy/.

3. Run

v0.7 does not install a service through init. Run the manager in the foreground under your existing service supervisor:

alloy-edge manager \
  --config /data/recordings/.alloy/edge-manager.yaml

4. Approve and verify

Open devices/ in Mesh Storage and approve the pending device. After approval, Last Seen updates and completed files appear under the device's folder.

For retention, upload, or redaction tuning, use the advanced v0.7 Configuration reference.
