Hello friends. I'm wondering if there's a way to sync files across sites. I had mentioned before in another thread that I was aiming to use ownCloud for this client, but I wasn't in favor of ownCloud being a bit staggered on releases with OMV. Once I gave it even more thought, I didn't like the idea of ownCloud much at all for this client, mostly because ownCloud is something that really requires some degree of maintenance. For me, it's easy, but I'd rather put something in place for a user and have it just work as long as possible without worrying about if the new major release will break anything or if they are updating their system to grab the latest security updates, etc.
So with that, a need remains. Basically a friend of mine who has their own business has two physical sites. One at home, one at the office. These people are husband/wife, and due to child care, will often trade who is where while working. Their goal is to have sensitive files synced between the two locations. You might see now why ownCloud came to mind over something like Dropbox. Is there a way, perhaps with a Unison-like feature, that I can do that?
Envision this.
Home site would contain the OMV server with DDNS and a domain. The home would also contain a Windows based client desktop computer. The office (2nd physical site) would have nothing but a Windows based client desktop computer. Given that scenario, how can I rig it up so the files edited by site 2 get synced to site 1? Am I stuck with a cloud service for this? Or is there something within OMV I can do?
What I'd like is to set up their OMV as an actual NAS, so it provides a directory for them to sync their files to. I'd like to have another "share" which is the point that the two sites actively share. That way their actively sync'd work data is in one location, and all home data in another location, but still all within the same OMV box.
I'm drawing a blank on ideas. Anybody have any? I'm all ears!
