Haraka does not reload changed files

[wioxjk]

Hi,

I am trying to understand why Haraka is not autoreloading configfiles when they are not edited by a editor on localhost.

I have tried sharing configs on a NFS-share, Gluster Volume and pulling it from an rsync-daemon but the autoreloading is not triggered. How does it work?

If I edit a file on localhost, I get the following:

inotifywait -r -e modify,attrib,close_write,move,create,delete /srv/haraka-outbound/config
Setting up watches.  Beware: since -r was given, this may take a while!
Watches established.
/srv/haraka-outbound/config/ CREATE 4913

But if localhost pulls the files from a remote rsync-server:

inotifywait -r -e modify,attrib,close_write,move,create,delete /srv/haraka-outbound/config
Setting up watches.  Beware: since -r was given, this may take a while!
Watches established.
/srv/haraka-outbound/config/ ATTRIB,ISDIR

Is this the reason that haraka does not see the changes to the files?
What is the recommended approach to sync configs between servers?

File watching in Haraka is has some limitations due to the node.js implementations. Our code for file change watching is in the haraka-config module.

file reload by polling has been implemented in haraka/haraka-config#58
