Syncthing alternative running over reticulum
Started by falafool ·
I've already asked for distributed cloud systems with strangers over at:
https://rns.recipes/forum/general/distributed-cloud-system-over-reticulum
And the suggestion was Bitbucket, but is that also a fit for a syncthing replacement? (as this is not done with strangers)
I mean at the end of the day everyone is using syncthing but no one really likes it. So I find reticulum might be a perfect match. Would also love to have some kind of versioning of deleted or changed files and use it on my phone.
Does something like this exist? Or is something in the works? Let me know and I'd love to throw syncthing away!
https://web.archive.org/web/20260517183445/https://git.quad4.io/RNS-Things/RNS-Filesync existed but it has since been deleted or switch names. Either way someone would probably have to rewrite an entirely new version cause it wasn't that well maintained.
You could maybe get away with using rngit depending on your use case
You could also tunnel tcp traffic through reticulum and then have syncthing use that, it would be possible. Though there's no real good ways of tunneling tcp traffic yet (the ways I've seen are very experimental at best), and it's probably not the most efficient thing ever.
Here it is now but I am currently reworking it and will integrate it as a tool in MeshChatX https://github.com/Quad4-Software/RNS-Filesync
When you say you will integrate it into MeshChatX, I assume it will also be available as a standalone and not only via MeshChatX? I have this raspberry pi that I always keep running, with syncthing on it. That way if my other devices can't sync because they aren't running at the same time, they won't have conflicts because the pi records all changes and can sync all devices. I don't want to have to install MeshChatX on it, I mean I don't see how it would even run without a desktop environment. I suppose I could just keep the desktop environment running 24/7 but I prefer not to have it running unless I really need to access some kind of graphical application.
Yes I will keep it separate and integrate it like I do LXMFy bots.
