Syncthing for MiSTer?

Unread post by CaptainMuskrat »

Are file sharing/syncing programs like "Syncthing - GTK" compatible with the MiSTer?. I would appreciate the ease of use of simply updating a folder on my PC and have it update on the MiSTer at the same time. I use Fedora Silverblue as my daily driver OS.

MiSTer runs a very stripped down version of Linux afaik. With some work you can probably install the correct program and dependencies and create a script to easily launch the desired sync operation.

Easiest way to get what you want is probably to setup a Samba share and mount your desired folders via the build-in script.

You can use rsync over ssh.

I have a backup script in my scripts folder, that I run periodically, that backs up the files to a network share using rsync. Maybe not exactly what you're looking for, but that's how I do it.
