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.yaml4. 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.
