rustdesk-server VS syncthing-android

Run 2 instances of the Docker container rustdesk/rustdesk-server with hhbr and hhbs and it will work locally. It can also work in a single container with the s6 overlay variant.

Rustdesk also may or may not require the installation of a relay/rendezvous server, which is where the confusion starts: one may use the free Rustdesk public server, or install one's own, custom-built server, for which Rustdesk provides a "free open source and free server program"; dub this "server2."

Ever wanted to remotely access your desktop from anywhere, then tried software like TeamViewer, but it eventually stopped working? Try open source RustDesk that is simple to set up, and you can even self-host your own rendezvous/relay server (or use the free public server). RustDesk allows you to access your desktop computer from your BOOX device. I often use it to see what is going on when I am running some simulations remotely (below is a screenshot of my Tab Ultra accessing my laptop). Because I use a dark theme on all my LCD/OLED devices, I invert the display colors of my laptop to get a better-looking video feed on my Tab Ultra (I believe light themes look much better on e-ink).

The last I checked the Windows version of the server was a few versions behind. So if you use that version it might not have all the features of the current server version on Linux. You can go here https://github.com/rustdesk/rustdesk-server/releases and look for release 1.1.6-2 to find the Windows version of the server.

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.

Pick it up again an use cloud syncing this time! Is worth! https://syncthing.net/
