  • MobiusSync

    Syncthing for iOS

  • I just found out it's a regulation from France regarding encryption, so it's not an Apple App Store thing. Seems like Apple's App Store enforces it, but maybe not Google's? And so it got published but may not comply with regulations.

  • syncthing-android

    Wrapper of syncthing for Android.

  • litestream

    Streaming replication for SQLite.

  • Syncthing "just" syncs files. Near instantly, which could mean a delay of a few seconds to maybe even a minute. And it won't de-conflict changes beyond saving the "bad" version in a file like `sqlite.db-syncthing-conflict-20230101T043044`.

    I like it and IMO it does what it does well. But litestream can "Continuously stream SQLite changes" (pulled from https://litestream.io/, I've never heard of it before). It seems like that's litestream's killer feature, and I think syncthing would leave you wanting.

  • devilutionX

    Diablo build for modern operating systems

  • Not sure if this is exactly what you're describing but I noticed the open-source Diablo engine DevilitionX has Zerotier built in to allow online multiplayer sessions.

    https://github.com/diasurgical/devilutionX/wiki/Multiplayer#...

    I thought it was interesting way for an open-source game to provide a way to find other players without relying on paid dedicated servers.

  • Logseq-Git-Sync-101

    This repo aims to help Logseq users to sync their data with Git and GitHub.

  • Working copy has some of doing this. I had it syncing my logseq notes and it worked fine (other than merge conflict type things). The setup was fairly convoluted though.

    This is how it is done https://github.com/CharlesChiuGit/Logseq-Git-Sync-101/wiki/F...

  • garage

    (Mirror) S3-compatible object store for small self-hosted geo-distributed deployments. Main repo: https://git.deuxfleurs.fr/Deuxfleurs/garage (by deuxfleurs-org)

  • https://garagehq.deuxfleurs.fr

    Garage claims performance across long distances.

    It's not a POSIX file system. Instead it's more like S3. You could put something in front of it, perhaps, to make it POSIX.

  • syncthing

    Open Source Continuous File Synchronization

  • You could try to force QUIC which should handle latency a bit better. The priority of TCP/QUIC will be configurable with the upcoming v1.23.5 release:

  • ifuse

    A fuse filesystem to access the contents of iOS devices

  • That directory doesn't work with Möbius Sync however, it gives an error when you try to set it as the local path for sync. Also, I can't figure out how to access that from Linux via ifuse: https://github.com/libimobiledevice/ifuse/issues/58

NOTE: The number of mentions on this list indicates mentions on common posts plus user suggested alternatives. Hence, a higher number means a more popular project.
