|
|
This is the Syncthing project which pursues the following goals:
|
|
|
|
1. Define a protocol for synchronization of a folder between a number of
|
|
collaborating devices. This protocol should be well defined, unambiguous,
|
|
easily understood, free to use, efficient, secure and language neutral.
|
|
This is called the [Block Exchange
|
|
Protocol](https://github.com/syncthing/specs/blob/master/BEPv1.md).
|
|
|
|
2. Provide the reference implementation to demonstrate the usability of
|
|
said protocol. This is the `syncthing` utility. We hope that
|
|
alternative, compatible implementations of the protocol will arise.
|
|
|
|
The two are evolving together; the protocol is not to be considered
|
|
stable until Syncthing 1.0 is released, at which point it is locked down
|
|
for incompatible changes.

Getting Started
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
Take a look at the [getting started
|
|
guide](http://docs.syncthing.net/intro/getting-started.html).
|
|
|
|
There are a few examples for keeping Syncthing running in the background
|
|
on your system in [the etc directory](https://github.com/syncthing/syncthing/blob/master/etc).
|
|
|
|
There is an IRC channel, `#syncthing` on Freenode, for talking directly
|
|
to developers and users.
|
|
|
|
Building
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
Building Syncthing from source is easy, and there's a
|
|
[guide](http://docs.syncthing.net/dev/building.html).
|
|
that describes it for both Unix and Windows systems.
|
|
|
|
Signed Releases
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
As of v0.10.15 and onwards, git tags and release binaries are GPG signed
|
|
with the key D26E6ED000654A3E (see https://syncthing.net/security.html).
|
|
For release binaries, MD5 and SHA1 checksums are calculated and signed,
|
|
available in the md5sum.txt.asc and sha1sum.txt.asc files.
