syncthing-android VS Homeserver

I use https://github.com/Catfriend1/syncthing-android which has an option to run only every X minutes of each hour, as a decent tradeoff.

This version also ships and Android Quick Settings tile that will start Syncthing for those X minutes and stop it outside of that schedule, so I'll hit the button as I'm putting on shoes to go out after making a shopping list on my phone or what have you

I built something on top of the Syncthing API this week after using it on its own for years.

A local instance of Syncthing can behave as a robust sync tool + inotify API for applications consuming the files: https://docs.syncthing.net/rest/events-get.html#get-rest-eve...

i believe there's an embeddable golang library, but if you want something easy to use on android check in on syncthing-fork which lets you define more granular sync conditions including "just turn on 5 minutes every hour" https://github.com/Catfriend1/syncthing-android

Sideloading this and setting this up via the web GUI is the best way for you to automatically sync files between devices. https://github.com/Catfriend1/syncthing-android/releases

Syncthing-Fork (version 1.27.0.1): File synchronization

You may find some information here: https://github.com/Catfriend1/syncthing-android/wiki/SD-card-write-access

If you're on Android, try Syncthing-Fork to save battery by running only a few minutes each hour

Syncthing fork is fine, download the github version under releases: https://github.com/Catfriend1/syncthing-android

Or there's Syncthing-Fork which I'm about to try (seems to be "better")

Most ATX cases support M-ATX mobo's too! So if you don't care about it being a midi tower thats your cheapest option. Just pick one that has enough drive bays, I always go with Fractal Design. If you want to go smaller you'll have to start looking for more niche cases/manufacturers. I suggest planning your other hardware first, then finding a case that fits it. Btw, I'm also interested in low power consumption. If you haven't seen this yet, it's great. It's essentially a TLDR from a german/dutch forum dedicated to low power machines. I'm going with the Fujitsu 3643-B, as that has 6 sata, 2 x16 PCIE 3.0 slots, and supports ECC memory. If you don't care about ECC and only need 4 sata ports, the Fujitsu D3643-H is the way to go. Both these boards can run full systems at 5W idle, which is insane. Good luck!

I have been tinkering in home servers and found this guide to be especially helpful. The guide has everything run on Manjaro through a lengthy docker-compose file.

Hi All! Thanks alot for your valuable inputs. based on your comments, and suggestions - and after some research - i think i have settled on the following "path". First of all - i can see that a SoC system might not be the smartest option - there the size and the fact that they are not very flexible - makes me think that this might not be the smartest way to go. so i found this site: https://github.com/zilexa/Homeserver/blob/master/Recommendations.md And it looks like there has been alot of research that i can reuse. now - in the link - a suggestion is made to buy the asRock desk mini 310, but - when i search - the processors for the LGA115x socket -is not that cheap / available in denmark - so i found this https://www.asrock.com/nettop/Intel/DeskMini%20H470%20Series/index.asp the Desk Mini H470 - sold as a barebone. it doesnt have ECC, but this is not a big concern for me. then i will add some RAM and based on the suggestions - i think 16GB will be the sweetspot have not yet decided what i will choose here. i guess a 1x16 will be smartest - so that i can add another 16 later on. for the OS + and main files ( personal files, as well as my music collection ) i will add the 2TB nvme from Samsung the PM9A1. next - i have decided to "scrap" my 8tb disk - and then go with a 2.5" 4tb - the Samsung Samsung QVO 870. this will host all my movies / tv series etc. no backup is needed here. i did a quick online cart - and theese are the prices - ( in danish ): Barebone Asrock: 1558,- Samsung PM9A1 M.2 2000 GB PCI Express 4.0 TLC NVMe : 1597,- Samsung MZ-77Q4T0BW 870 QVO SSD, 4000 GB, 2.5": 2590 SORAM GSkill D4 2400 8GB C16 Rip (F4-2400C16S-8GRS): 169 all in all :5.929 which is approx: 796,89 Euro. Any thought on this? alternative ways i should look?
