    Promising; kinda feels like a hopefully-better syncthing, albeit I think one-direction?<p>Anyways, some hopefully constructive questions that I don&#x27;t see in the readme:<p>* Is sync done in cleartext? (Or am I misunderstanding the model and this expects you to handle the network layer yourself with eg. NFS?)<p>* How are conflicts handled?<p>* Actually, in general where does this land on CAP? (There&#x27;s a section titled &quot;Consistency&quot; but it doesn&#x27;t really answer what I want to know)<p>&gt; If enable_versioning is active, the daemon creates zero-cost reflink snapshots on fsync:<p>* How does it handle filesystems that doesn&#x27;t have that feature? (XFS and BTRFS are easy, but this says it supports ext4)<p>(And to be clear, none of these are meant as criticisms of the actual software; they&#x27;re things that the user should <i>know</i> the answer to, not questions that have to have a specific answer)

      It reads to me like encryption is handled one layer below this by NFS. I would naively assume this should be set up with external changes disallowed since it is capturing and replaying fs events.<p>I would love to see a replacement for syncthing though. Something with less config knobs, that &#x27;just works&#x27; and handles conflicts more intelligently.

    How would you replicate: rsync -avz -e &quot;ssh&quot; user@remote_host:&#x2F;path&#x2F;to&#x2F;source&#x2F; &#x2F;path&#x2F;to&#x2F;destination&#x2F;<p>Something like this? fxcp snap export &#x2F;path&#x2F;to&#x2F;source&#x2F; | ssh user@remote_host -t &#x27;fxcp snap import &#x2F;path&#x2F;to&#x2F;destination&#x2F;&#x27;

    No, Foxing is one of my favorite indie-rock bands from the St. Louis area.
