Always enjoyed scrolling though these posts, figured I’d give it a go here:

Yeah, that’s how I do it now. I just mount the network drive on each PC and they can all access the same files. I’m just wondering if there’s a usecase that syncthing has that my workflow doesn’t that I just can’t think of because I haven’t used it.

Yeah I wouldn’t bother. It intends for you to have a duplicate copy on every device, which is probably not what you want. Syncthing is really good for things like synchronizing notes, calendars, password databases, music, etc to your devices. Things that you want to access in both places, but that are usually disconnected from each other from time to time.

Selfhosted

!selfhosted@lemmy.world

Create post

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don’t control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we’re here to support and learn from one another. Insults won’t be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it’s not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don’t duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.
