Thanks, Syncthing looks like exactly what I was looking for! I'm guessing it needs some external server for coordination? It seems a bit unnecessary to restart after each config chsnge, is there some technical reason for it? Nice job otherwise, will try it out.

Yes, it needs an exernal server. By default, Syncthing is pre-configured with community-hosted discovery servers: - https://github.com/syncthing/syncthing/blob/master/lib/config/config.go https://github.com/syncthing/syncthing/blob/master/lib/confi... The community also hosts relay servers, so if your two devices can't communicate with eachother directly, it will work anyway. Relay servers take bandwidth. Anyone can run a relay server, and it will automatically join the relay pool and be available to Syncthing users. This is documented here: - https://docs.syncthing.net/users/strelaysrv.html#strelaysrv https://docs.syncthing.net/users/strelaysrv.html#strelaysrv It would also be possible to host your own private relay and discovery pools, if you need that for some reason.
