GPLv3 | https://git.sr.ht/~redstrate/hydrus-sync-client/ | Sync hydrus databases using rsync. |
Ever feel like you need a way to sync Hydrus databases across multiple machines? With hydrus-sync-client, you can
easily synchronize your Hydrus database with a rsync server.
This was originally a Bash script that I decided to rewrite in Rust, so please excuse how ugly it is right now :-)
Process
- The program first checks the last hostname that synchronized, this is used later to decide whether to sync first.
- Then the lockfile is checked, if it is locked - the program exits.
- If the hostnames don't match, we sync the files before launching.
- Hydrus is launched and you can continue like normal.
- Once Hydrus is closed, the file synchronization now happens in reverse.
- Before the program exits, the lockfile is reset and the last hostname is updated.
As long as you ensure you're always using hydrus-sync-client to run Hydrus, the sync process is mostly foolproof.
