DAEMON CONFIGURATION

       pybit-watcher needs to be configured before it will run and process uploads. The configuration file is in
       JSON format, ordering is not important.

       repobase - top level directory of the reprepro repository, i.e. where reprepro can find the
       ./conf/distributions file.

       path - directory used for uploads, must be writeable by whichever user(s) will be able to upload.

       dryrun - if set to true, commands are printed to the console instead of being executed. Default: true

       rule - the reprepro incoming rule to call with this watcher. Only one incoming rule can be used.

       sleeptime - the time allowed after the watcher is notified that a .changes file has been written to allow
       for the upload tool to change permissions or other management tasks. Default: 3 seconds.

       configured - Set to true once the other settings are correct for your installation. Default is false.
