Ich verstehe eh nicht, warum #NextCloud so beliebt ist. Vielleicht weil es viele Features hat und daher in der Theorie auch sehr viele use Cases abbilden kann. In der Praxis läuft es halt wie von dir beschrieben.

Für File Sync gibt es im #Linux/Open-Source-Bereich viele gute Lösungen. Die Frage ist immer wer oder was auf der anderen Seite ist. #Syncthing #Seafile #Filen oder #Unison #rsync

Mit Web-Anwendungen habe ich weniger Erfahrung, aber Webmailer gibt es auch bessere.

I didn’t know about openrsync until recently — been using rsync for years and somehow missed it!

openrsync is a lightweight rsync replacement developed by the OpenBSD team.
It focuses on security, simplicity, and a small footprint.

While not yet feature-complete compared to GNU rsync, it supports common
use cases like recursive copying, preserving permissions, and syncing over SSH.

Originally introduced in OpenBSD 6.5 (May 2019)

Thinking about writing a SlackBuild for it — I’ll give it a proper test first. 🙂

I forgot you can't just run a shell script with rsync calls via cron on macOS because of... security. I think my workaround will do though.

I write a shell script and then create an Automator application that calls the shell script. I then add a cron job to open the application.

I need to check if it runs when the screen is locked. I'm pretty sure it does but I will test again.

Did you know? My github.com/gokrazy/rsync module can be used as a library — both its client and its server accept the io.ReadWriter interface type :)

To demonstrate that this works and to show the flexibility this enables, I put together an rsync-over-gRPC demo:

To be clear, this isn’t starting the samba rsync program in the background or anything like that; it’s a 100% Go implementation; memory-safe and fast! Standalone and cross-architecture! 🚀
