rsync VS tailscale

rsync can be used to synchronize a local disk to the pCloud drive p. Works similarly as the Sync option of the pCloud Drive app. May be useful if one prefers a bulk upload once a day over a continuous synchronization.

Tools that can be used to handle this include Rsync, Duplicati, Cohesity

To overcome this issue, you can use rsync, a powerful command-line tool for synchronizing files and directories, along with a bash script that excludes the node_modules folder and also filter out anything in a .gitignore file that you specify. In this article, I'll guide you through the process of setting up and using this bash script to sync your Node.js project while ignoring the node_modules folder.

On OL9 I installed rsync using https://github.com/WayneD/rsync/blob/master/INSTALL.md and installing dependencies using the For Fedora 33 commands where possible except xxhash which wasn't found, so I used https://oraclelinux.pkgs.org/9/ol9-codeready-builder-aarch64/xxhash-devel-0.8.1-3.el9.aarch64.rpm.html

rsync will probably work better for this use case

I would prefer to use a revision control system, like git if keeping multiple versions of documents is important. Otherwise, if you don't find anything else to your liking, you could write your own scripts based on rsync with the clone-dest, detect-renamed, and detect-renamed-lax patches.

Give rsync a try, it should handle UTF filenames just fine.

While researching this issue I stumbled upon this thread where someone found out that a rsync 3.2.3 / glibc bug (github issue) leads to the error Operation not supported (95).\ my Proxmox instance is also using rsync 3.2.3: root@proxmox:~# rsync -V rsync version 3.2.3 protocol version 31 In this thread I found it's recommended to upgrade to another rsync version, but I'm not really sure how.\ \ Any thoughts on this?

Tailscale - Built on WireGuard. Easy to use. Control server is closed source. Client code available with a BSD3 license + separate patents file.

Tailscale

I'm using the GitHub version of tailscaled on one of my Macs as a background daemon launched at boot. To upgrade to the latest version, try the following:

Tailscale is a VPN service that makes the devices and applications you own accessible anywhere in the world, securely and effortlessly. It enables encrypted point-to-point connections using the open source WireGuard® protocol, which means only devices on your private network can communicate with each other.

Might be possible to do using a VPN as long as you can get broadcast/multicast packets forwarded.

Tailscale unfortunately doesn't support it...yet?

Tailscale - Make depaware output patch compatible

Tailscale is another way of doing it. I'm using it to access my Pi's Samba shares from my phone but it works from Windows as well.
