History: Why Syncthing

Preview of version: 6

Syncthing's P2P design is awesome.

  • P2P by default, so same software on all nodes. Central server is just a convention.
  • Syncthing is written in Go, which has fantastic performance (which is important when you have a lot of files)
  • Default interface is a Bootstrap admin panel, and clients can make interface such as Syncthing-GTK for better integration with operating system.

Why not ownCloud / Nextcloud

  • This would have been easier since there was already an app for ClearOS but
    • WebDAV is not an ideal protocol. Tiki has tried to use for it for years, but not so great results (performance, reliability, etc)
    • The server and clients are different code bases, which is bigger long term workload.
    • Can't do P2P sync. Everything needs to go via central server.
