Ask HN: How to sync my files to my home server?
3 points by p0d on Feb 3, 2021 | hide | past | favorite | 5 comments
Is there a home storage solution with client software for windows, linux and android supporting live sync (like dropbox).

I tip my hat to Nextcloud which I am experimenting with at the moment but I am not really looking for a platform. I just want to sync my remote files to my home server.



Take a look at Syncthing. Been using it without any problems for a few years now.


This, or resilio sync has been solid for me. There are others like freesync and goodsync but I have never tried them.


Just use cron to run rsync every hour or something


Would you consider Keybase?


Thanks but no. Looks great but yet another platform.
