title: Syncthing setup for a refreshing file experience
|
|
|
|
[[Syncthing]] is an incredibly useful piece of software in a simple and (moderately) lightweight package.
|
|
|
|
Keeping in mind that, due to its [[peer-to-peer]] nature, a Syncthing instance is both a client and a server --- an ideal setup for me is developed around the following hierarchy of instances:
|
|
|
|
# On my home server
|
|
#* A centralized place where everything (storage permitting) can reside together, and scripts can run on a schedule, for secondary syncing and backup operations (which go far beyond the scopes of Syncthing).
|
|
# On my main smartphone
|
|
#* The smartphone goes everywhere around the world, and as such is at more risk of breaking or losing, and with that also some of my private files (mainly camera media, screenshots, and [[game saves|Game save]]).
|
|
# On other devices; for example, my main desktop PC, or my tablet.
|
|
#* On those, immediate syncing is nice but not essential, as I often can use other methods comfortably enough (copy from USB, copy to server via SFTP, ...), and honestly I often do it only when doing maintenance .
