Syncthing

I'm glad to announce v0.2.0 release!

The major feature of the new release is the possibility to use relay transport from the public pool of synthing relays from https://relays.syncthing.net/ . Currently syncspirit picks a random on the start.

More complete changelog can be seen here, and the source code and binaries (for windows and linux) can be downloaded here.

syncspirit is syncthing-compatible syncrhonization program, which implements BEP-protocol. syncspirit is written from the scratch software, which has different technical decisions on it's foundation to overcome syncthing limitations. syncspirit is available for windows and linux; you can build and use it on termux for Andoid. Currently syncspirit is targeted to power users and early adopters, who feel self comfortable with command-line.

Any feedback is welcome!

WBR, basiliscos.

Hello,

I'm glad to do first announcement of my syncspirit, an alternative implementation of BEP protocol, gracefully shared by syncthing developers. In simple words, it is syncthing-compatible.

syncspirit is written from scratch in C++, so a lot of expected features found in syncthing missing. However, it is able to do one-side syncrhonization, i.e. it implements "receive-only" folder model at the moment.

Currenly only command-line intreface is available, so, it is targeted mostly to power users. The prebuild binaries for windows and linux are available for downloading, they are statically built, so no additional external dependencies should be required.

The interface can be evaluated and at asciinema

Why ss might be interesting for you? Well, it already has some unique features, like rsync-like mode (i.e. download files from peer and exit; it is implemented as "exit-on-inactivity-timeout"), and, it might have quite a good disk performance on HDDs since it tries hard to write sequentially. Also, the whole performance is tuneable (i.e. number of threads is manageable and configurable).

Any feedback is welcome. My short-term plan will be implement relay-transport.

Cheers, basiliscos

Anybody got any ideas?

#Syncthing is a great tool for decentralised syncing between devices.. and with some simple configuation, can act as a backup service too.
