I'm glad to announce v0.4.3 release!

Syncspirit is independent BEP protocol implementation. Like syncthing is continuous peer-to-peer file synchronization tool.

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/basiliscos/syncspirit/refs/heads/master/docs/fltk-overview.gif

You can download ready-to-use binaries for Linux x86_64 (AppImage), Windows 32 bit (WindowsXP is supported), Windows 64 bit and Mac OS X (Apple silicon).

Notable changes:

  • [core] fix compatibility with syncthing v2.0 (i.e. tolerate directory with non-zero size and without blocks)
  • [core] allow to specify root certificate authority to use in all tls/ssl connections, see faq, mostly actual for Windows XP with expired system certificates
  • [core] allow to load huge databses and interrupt loading porgress
  • [core] reduce memory consumption by model (~ 44%)
  • [core] use in-depth scan order instead of in-breadth
  • [core, win32] fix negative serial number in generated ssl-certificates
  • [core, fltk] more correctly display file scanning progress
  • [core, bugfix] make successful upnp port unmapping upon shutdown
  • [fltk] deactivate currently selected log level button

Syncspirit is a syncthing-compatible is written from the scratch software in C++ as classical desktop application.

Syncspirt source code uses GPLv3 license.

Any feedback is welcome!

WBR, basiliscos.

Not yet (I'm a solo dev so it is quite hard to do multiple builds). Patches welcome! :)

[-] basiliscos2@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 months ago

Somebody might find that behavior a bit making nervous if you don't see progress, that it is running or that it was synced a few mins ago...

That's why for that "daemonic" behavior programs hide themself in system tray :)

You can download ready-to-use binaries for Linux x86_64 (AppImage), Windows (WindowsXP is supported) and Mac OS X (Apple silicon).

Notable changes:

  • unified shared folders model, which allows to inspect on a local and remove devices
  • possibility to import files from local storage
  • performance improvents, upto 5 times on a smaller files
  • fix compatibility with global discovery v3 protocol
  • support folder_type folder setting (send only, receive only, send & receive)
  • support pull_older folder setting (alphabetic, by size, by modification date)
  • support disable_temp_indixes (hardcoded to 1 for atm)
  • support ignore_permissions folder flag, permissions and no_permissions file flag
  • support ignore_deletes folder flag
  • support device auto-accept folder flag
  • support device introducer and skip_introduction_removals markers
  • support outgoing messages to be compressed using lz4

I’m glad to announce v0.4.0 release!

The major feature of the new release is fltk-frontend and improvements BEP protocol implementation.

You can download ready-to-use binaries for Linux x86_64, Windows (WindowsXP is supported!) and Mac OS X (Apple silicon).

Syncspirit is a syncthing-compatible synchronization program that implements BEP-protocol. Syncspirit is a syncthing-compatible is written from the scratch software in C++ as classical desktop application, which had different technical decisions on its foundation to overcome syncthing limitations.

I think it will always stay compatible on protocol level.

[-] basiliscos2@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

That tools does what I always think was possible to do, or am I missing something?

I think the problem is that they do not share the whole communication protocol/model with GUI/client and it has only feature to block something aposteriory masks, while the whole folder with all files is already shared with client's device. The original syncthing database scheme also seems does not supporting this.

Technically, from a protocol view level, there is no problem just to ask a single file to download and share only it.

I think because of that they do not implement "selective sync" feature, i.e. when you need to sync only a slice of remote directory.

I’m glad to announce v0.3.0 release!

The major feature of the new release is the implementation of complete file synchronization, i.e., the ability to send and receive files. To identify local changes, a periodical folder full scan is performed.

You can download ready-to-use binaries for Linux and Windows as well as the source code.

Syncspirit is a syncthing-compatible is written from the scratch software, which had different technical decisions on its foundation to overcome syncthing limitations. Syncspirit is available for Windows and Linux. Currently, Syncspirit is targeted at power users and early adopters who feel comfortable with command lines.
