This looks cool. I don’t know what direction you’re going to take this, but my big challenge with Nextcloud is that the file syncing gets very unreliable in short order. I honestly would love to see someone do something like this with Syncthing as a file management backend. It is honestly the best tool of its kind, and it is extremely fast and reliable.
- DirkH 3y agoSecond this. Setting up syncthing was incredibly easy and it is a beast. Has no problems syncing all my huge video media files All it did is beg the question for me: why has nobody created a file sync UI where you can essentially use syncthing like you might Google Drive but with a slick effortless interface that non-technical folks wouldn't mind using?
- mrAssHat 3y agoOn the contrary, I didn't find Syncthing setup very easy, as I don't want to be dependent on external resources when doing a sync over LAN and thus I had to setup a coordinator myself and it's a bit confusing with all these long tokens that I needed for some reason.
- BrunoBernardino 3y agoThanks for sharing your experience! Is there something else you use right now?
- traverseda 3y agoIt uses direct udp peer discovery on Lan though?
- BrunoBernardino 3y agoThanks! I'm not sure just yet and I still have Calendars/CalDav to work on first, but I've added Syncthing as a potential backend for the desktop client. I also have notes to explore `rclone` or `rsync` since those are very reliable, simple, and slim.
