My friend ran BTSync on a raspi, and it was dreadfully slow to index for large amounts of data. Like, multiple days of 100% CPU slow.

- bigiain 13y agoIf the 'Pi is just a "cloud storage appliance", there's no need for it to care that the data is encrypted. I use EncFS to encrypt on my laptops/desktops/servers/phones/tablets, and have BTSync sync the encrypted partitions to a machine at home that doesn't have EncFS installed. I'm using an old Mac Mini rather than a 'Pi, but the same principle works - the Mac Mini serves my archive/backup needs for my synced data (it's using software raid1 over two drives for reliability, and does TimeMachine backups to a rotating set of external drives for archiving), but none of the data on the Mini or it's drives is of any use if hacked/stolen, since if doesn't have EncFS or the crypto keys.
