EnderChest VS syncthing-android

I'm never buying another console again. PC ports or emulation from now on. Steam is super convenient, but honestly my ideal ecosystem would be DRM-free titles that don't phone home. I have the technical knowhow to do my own "cloud" saves and config syncs (though the package I wrote to do it is currently mid-rewrite).

If by some chance your PC is running macOS or Linux, this is going to be absolutely trivial once you learn the syntax. I actually have a github project that does this specifically for Minecraft (while also keeping mods and settings synchronized between different instances on the same computer).

I've been working on a project that syncs my minecraft worlds, mods, resource packs and configs between five different computers, one of them being the Deck. It's command-line based and only really tested on Linux/macOS, but it has the advantage of being config-less (everything is handled by filenames alone) and will work in principle with any launcher. Transfers are also pretty fast since it uses rsync to just perform incremental backups--my world file is about 4GB right now, and it takes under a minute to check in and sync a play session across all my devices (I have a separate project that also does version control to roll back a creeper explosion a borked save caused by a corrupted mod)

Idk, I really dislike the Curseforge launcher so when I booted up GD I noped back out of it pretty fast. To each their own, and I do need to spend some more time with it, though, as I'm working on an asset manager that should be launcher-agnostic, and a lot of folks really do love GD (and Curseforge and Lunar and Badlion and the official Mojang launcher...).

Working on it and would be happy to accept contributions and feedback.

Hmm... how is ssh support on Windows machines these days? Will the scripts I use to backup and synchronize my Minecraft instances work on Windows 11? And what are the good free nonlinear video editors for when I want to edit and post gameplay footage?

Interesting. I've never had a problem with MultiMC or any of its forks. It sounds to me like you probably just needed to allocate more RAM (as a rule I typically set the default Xmx to half the total system RAM, or 8GB in the case of the Deck). In any case, thanks for clueing me into an alternative launcher. I'm working on a project to keep mods, configs, resource packs, worlds, etc. synced across different instances and different computers, and eventually I'll want to make sure I support as many launchers as possible.

I've got another one on topic of self-hosted file sharing:

- FileBrowser running in Docker (https://filebrowser.org/features)

- Syncthing running in another container (https://syncthing.net/)

Syncthing keeps the files on your PC, Mac, BSD systems updated, and FileBrowser can point to the share and supply a convenient web UI. It works for me, it's kind of like a local Dropbox-lite.

We use syncthing to share files between our machines. It avoids is having to use dropbox / OneDrive etc. You just choose a folder and it automatically syncs it in the background.

This very hn entries is bust contradicting your statement.

Also what about syncthing[1] (for recurrent/permanent sync) and croc[2] (for one time copies) ?

I have used both for a number of years already.

I would use syncthing, which is open source at https://syncthing.net/.

After minimal setup, it just works(tm).

You have a normal directory in your filesystem, that is synced to the other peers (which you set up in the "minimal setup").

I have been using it for years, and it works well. It has no problems crossing os'es (i.e. windows -> linux, linux -> mac)

For windows I usually recommend https://github.com/canton7/SyncTrayzor, but vanilla syncthing works fine too (but don't try to mix them!)

Do consider Syncthing particularly if you are using Android. If using apple iOS you'd need the möbius sync client.

One thing that it beats the cloud / centralized sync on is because the connection is direct between devices when the initial transfer is completed the file is completely there on the other device. With a cloud type of sync you do the transfer twice. I've seen stack up on large media or with the structure of cloud services pricing making it expensive depending on how your workflow is setup with inside and outside parties. For example, Dropbox deduction from all parties' storage limits not just the sharer.

You can also point Syncthing at a local sync of Dropbox or Google drive and then forward the files to other recipients from that for some purposes.

I think sync is a non-feature, as you can just ride on your existing solution.

For example, I use syncthing [1] with Obsidian to sync files off-cloud.

When I was 14 and just getting started, I used Notepad. Upgraded to Wordpad when I realized I loved putting italics in every other sentence, moved to Google Docs at around 25 when I started writing on my phone and wanted to sync with my computer, finally moved to Obsidian a few months ago (with Syncthing for syncing) when I decided I don't want to live in Google's house where they can burn my stuff down whenever they want.
