# Mirall
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Introduction
|
|
|
|
|
|
2011-04-06 15:49:58 +04:00
|
|
|
Mirall synchronizes your folders with another computer.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The ultimate goals of Mirall are:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Network location aware: should not try to sync against your NAS if you are
|
|
|
|
|
not in the home network
|
|
|
|
|
* It is a zero-interaction tool. So forget about resolving conflicts.
|
|
|
|
|
* It should work silently and realiably.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Mirall is in early stages of development, and may still eat your
|
|
|
|
|
files or hang your computer.

2011-04-06 15:50:31 +04:00
|
|
|
* Network location awareness not implemented yet
|
2011-04-08 15:35:24 +04:00
|
|
|
* Current version supports local and remote (sftp and smb) folders.
|
|
|
|
|
* It is powered by csync (http://www.csync.org), however
|
2011-04-06 13:28:38 +04:00
|
|
|
the user does not know and other tools will be incorporated to provide other
|
|
|
|
|
functionality.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Current issues
|
|
|
|
|
|
2011-04-08 15:35:24 +04:00
|
|
|
* No sane way to backup conflicting versions yet, this should be solved
|
|
|
|
|
in a near csync release (--conflictcopy, available in Jann's branch).
|
|
|
|
|
Right now the newest copy wins.
|
2011-04-06 13:28:38 +04:00
|
|
|
* You can't remove folder configurations
|
2011-04-08 15:35:24 +04:00
|
|
|
Workaround: delete ~/.local/share/data/Mirall/folders/$alias and restart
|
2011-04-06 13:28:38 +04:00
|
|
|
* Some tasks block the GUI (initial setup of watchers)
|
|
|
|
|
* May be some concurrency issues
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Roadmap
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Improve robustness to minimize user interaction
|
|
|
|
|
* Improve feedback and sync results
|
|
|
|
|
* Add support for other folder types: tarsnap, duplicity, git (SparkleShare)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Requirements
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Linux (currently it uses inotify to detect file changes)
|
|
|
|
|
* unison installed in the local and remote machine
|
|
|
|
|
(you should not care if you got Mirall with your favorite
|
|
|
|
|
distribution)
