Autosync

A simple script that automatically syncs the contents of a directory with a remote server using rsync.

This is intended to serve as a simpler and more convenient replacement for putting the files into a large version-control system like Git. It automatically watches the specified directories for changes and schedules uploads for modified files.

It can also be used to sync a directory between multiple clients if installed on each system.

Requirements

This script is intended to be run with Bash 4.3+ in modern Linux; trying to run it on any other OS or with an older shell will likely fail.

Aside from basic Linux shell utilities, this script depends on:

  • OpenSSH
  • rsync
  • inotify-tools
  • flock

The remote server must also have rsync installed to receive file transfers, but nothing else is required. This script operates entirely client-side.

Usage

This script should be run as a daemon on startup. This can be done by any number of methods, but the ideal way is through a systemd service, as its process group management allows for better cleanup if the script crashes.

Configuration

Coming soon!
