Syncthing has no concept of users, just devices
Syncthing can't be used to share files via an email
Let's brainstorm and make a roadmap
ClearOS: How to have an instance available for each user? They should run as different users.
Maybe on a different port?
In the ClearOS GUI, users should be able to manage their Syncthing instance.
And they should have access to their FlexShare directories
How to have Tiki File Gallery interop?
Howto have interop with ClearOS Flexshares (Samba)
Should ClearOS devices per use be tracked in ClearOS's OpenLDAP?
Tiki-Syncthing interop
Use cases
- Isabelle has a directory of all files related to design, with subfolders by customer.
- Marcel works on various files, and Charles and others need access
- Files that are generated by a job or process
- Nathalie needs to privately share a video and has this problem: https://xkcd.com/949/
Wants
- Link to latest version of a specific file
- List all files (sorted)
- List only files from a specific customer
- List recent changes
- Compare with previous version (we'd need viewers / converters)
- Embed most recent version in relevant viewer (ex.: ViewerJS, PluginMediaPlayer)
- Share a file by email. So a unique URL permits to download a file which is managed by Syncthing
