- hobofan 3y agoThe cloud storage is the part I'm not interested in. I already use Syncthing, and it fills that need really well (tough with a UX so meh that I'd be hesitant to hand it to non-developers). I'm interested in e.g. tagging of files and a good GUI, and Syncthing doesn't really do any of that (unless I've missed something).
- kwhitefoot 3y agoWhat I would love to see is a UI on top of Syncthing that would allow for remote management so that it would be easier to add and remove folders without having to visit the remote devices physically. I suppose I really should just get on and do something myself. :-(
- MacsHeadroom 3y agoRemote management sounds like a security nightmare.
- kwhitefoot 3y agoNot if one can communicate through Syncthing itself.
- hobofan 3y agoI think for there are two already okay options. As Syncthings UI is already in the browser, one would be to just host that page in a way that it's remotely accessible (e.g. in you VPN, where I can highly recommend Tailscale). The other would be to use the option that Syncthing has built in to auto-accept folder invites from certain devices (that's what I have set up on my always-on server so I don't have to SSH into it every time).
