folsy is simple shell script which performs a job similar to other (folder) synchronization tools, but with nearly no resource consumption in terms of code size, build tools or install dependencies.
This is free and open source software.
Features include:
- The complete project takes less than 100KB disk space.
- It’s easy to understand, but perhaps a little cumbersome to set up.
- It’s not a backup tool.
- It’s no daemon.
- No conflict resolution.
- The newest file “wins” (will be copied to/from the server).
- No possibility to exclude some stuff, but you can “flat sync” a folder.
- No clutter of “hidden folsy info files” in the synchronized folder.
- Certainly is a “sync status file” aka meta data needed, at a place
of your choice. - Consideration of $XDG_CONFIG_HOME, or else $HOME/.config/folsy.
- Synchronization of multiple clients over a central server.
- The server (or “cloud” as I like to think about it) need no special “folsy-stuff”, only some kind of “disk-space” offer.
- Each client need access to the server and runs folsy itself.
- Nothing prevents you from running folsy on the server and take over the actions for a client, e.g. to sync your phone.
