  4. Supported NAS

    in Sync for NAS (Network Attached Storage)

    Posted

    Hi,

    We would like to create a list of NAS modeles that is supported by Sync. If you started Sync on Nas, please respond to this topic.

    Sync confirmed to be running on:

    Synology: Ds110j, Ds210j. DS211j, DS213+ (custom build), DS211, DS411j, DS712+, DS713+, DS411 slim, DS-411+,DS411+II, DS412+

    QNAP: TurboNAS TS-459 Pro II, TS410, TS-212, TS219, TS-110, TS412, TS-210,

    Western Digital: MyBook Live WDBACG0020HCH-00

    iOmega: IX2-200

    ZyXel: NSA310б NSA-221

    D-Link: DNS-320

    Raspberry Pi

    Doesn't work on

    DLink NAS DNS-323

    Please provide installation steps, this will significantly help other users.

  9. Bug reporting

    in Sync General Discussion

    I am syncing a folder on a removable drive, but if the drive is not mounted, SyncApp empties the contents of that shared folder on the other hosts ... because the local folder (which does not exist unless the drive is mounted) is 'empty'.

    Sync doesn't work well with removable drives right now. So when it can't access folder, it assumes everything was deleted. We will address this.

    Have updated to the latest version on Raspberry Pi (SyncApp_arm 1.0.67):

    1. When I start with a empty folder and link it to a folder being shared by other machines, I do not receive any of the content from the existing folder.

    Only content that is added after joining the share, or is updated (for example, renamed), will show up in my RasPi share.

    So, you linked two computers: one with empty folder another one with files in folder, nothing happens. Only new files that are added will be synchronized. Is that right?

    2. Is the option on the command line for the 'config' file path supposed to be the path to the '.sync' directory? I don't think the '.sync' directory should be written into /usr/local/bin where I have copied the binary.

    We are going to revisit the way we configure Linux client in next version. This will be addressed too.

    3. When a directory is deleted on a remote machine, it is being emptied, but not deleted on my RasPi.

    4. i like the longer secret, but is it enough?? ;-)

    Sync doesn't delete empty directories for now, this will be fixed. As well as the Secret.

    Thank you for your reports.

  10. Wish: security and management

    I fully understand your concerns, and agree that sharing secret over insecure media like email or im, makes it vulnerable.

    Let me give you some background on how we come with the idea of secret. Usually consumer applications use some sort of login/password combination to identify user and create groups of users. In case of Sync we don't have any central server that do such linking, we don't need ability to recover passwords, authenticate users. So we decided not to use login/password, but rather find some other way - that will be clear enough to users.

    So this way we come with the Secret idea. Why we do understand all security risks, it was interesting to see how people will understand this concept and that concept will it be clear to them.

    Seems that the concept of Secret is fine with users, so we will tighten security. I can't tell now how it will be done, this is still in development. But all your concerns will be addressed.

    To clarify complexity that we have, we don't have master-client relation in the system, so implementing key management where any computer is master and can come and go at any time, is something less trivial than master-slave key management.

    Why you need to have a space at the end of dir?

    I am asking this because we run some filename check before accepting file for synchronization, to make sure we will be able to create it later. On windows, for example you can't create file with the space at the end.
