seaweedfs VS rclone

Whoops: WebDAV:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39417503

SeaweedFS supports WebDAV. https://github.com/seaweedfs/seaweedfs/wiki/WebDAV

I'm not able to find if both/restic supports mounting backups as WebDAV, but in theory there's nothing stopping you.

It's 100% user space (expose a rest service) and supported by a bunch of file-browsers with a bit of a network aware component to it as well.

If you want/need to take out the metadata, there's some nice solutions for that https://github.com/seaweedfs/seaweedfs

I posted this on https://github.com/seaweedfs/seaweedfs/discussions/5290

I like the idea of using SeaweedFS as an intermediate layer with object write notifications going to SQS, RabbitMQ, or a local file, which could also allow me to observe the changes to different files through a metric collection layer like Prometheus and Grafana.

> Theoretically they could swap with minio but last time we used it it was not a drop-in replacement yet.

Depends on whether AGPL v3 works for you or not (or whether you decide to pay them), I guess: https://min.io/pricing

I've actually been looking for more open alternatives, but haven't found much.

Zenko CloudServer seemed to be somewhat promising, but doesn't seem to be managed very actively: https://github.com/scality/cloudserver/issues/4986 (their Docker images on DockerHub were last updated 10 months ago, which is what the homepage links to; blog doesn't seem active since 2019, forums don't have much going on, despite some action on GitHub still)

There was also Garage, but that one is also AGPL v3: https://garagehq.deuxfleurs.fr/

The closest I got was discovering that SeaweedFS has an S3 compatible mode: https://github.com/seaweedfs/seaweedfs

SeaweedFS S3 Gateway for Joplin notes

rclone: a command-line program to manage files on cloud storage.

Synchronise buckets with Sclone or Rclone

Says that Apple doesn't provide a multi platform API. It doesn't provide any official supported way to access iCloud from Windows, Linux.

There's a ticket covering everything you might ever want to know:

https://github.com/rclone/rclone/issues/1778

seconding rsync and syncthing.

the server could expose an smb or nfs share, the client could mount it, and then sync to that mount.

rsync over ssh also works, if you do not want to run smb/nfs.

this is also a cool tool https://rclone.org/

rclone [1] to dropbox. works since years without problems

rclone provides a special pCloud config option, which makes the setup straight forward. rclone can encrypt the data it uploads with its own encryption but not with the pCloud encryption. Therefore it can only upload data to the unencrypted pCloud folders, not to the Crypto Folder.

The arkclone project impliments rclone in ArkOS to achieve cloud saves. Not yet built in to ArkOS yet, and not a lot of recent traction on the pull request to get it added, but it can be installed manually.
