This is the `syncthing` project. The following are the project goals:
|
|
|
|
1. Define a protocol for synchronization of a file repository between a
|
|
number of collaborating nodes. The protocol should be well defined,
|
|
unambiguous, easily understood, free to use, efficient, secure and
|
|
language neutral. This is the [Block Exchange
|
|
Protocol](https://github.com/syncthing/syncthing/blob/master/protocol/PROTOCOL.md).
|
|
|
|
2. Provide the reference implementation to demonstrate the usability of
|
|
said protocol. This is the `syncthing` utility. It is the hope that
|
|
alternative, compatible implementations of the protocol will come to
|
|
exist.
|
|
|
|
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://discourse.syncthing.net/t/46).
|
|
|
|
Building
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
Building Syncthing from source is easy, and there's a
|
|
[guide](http://discourse.syncthing.net/t/44)
|
|
that describes it for both Unix and Windows.
|
|
|
|
Signed Releases
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
As of v0.7.0 and onwards, git tags and release binaries are GPG signed with
|
|
the key BCE524C7 (http://nym.se/gpg.txt). For release binaries, MD5 and
|
|
SHA1 checksums are calculated and signed, available in the
|
|
md5sum.txt.asc and sha1sum.txt.asc files.
