• Ask r/kubernetes: What are you working on this week?

  I've discovered inotify-tools and lsyncd as options and POC proves that it's possible to detect filesystem changes on a shared emptydir in a pod. Now it's just time to truly prove it out. Source: 11 months ago

  To sync files between NAS hosts/network locations, you can use rsync. It allows synchronizing files and folders, building a 1:1 data structure. https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/rsync.1.html If you need bidirectional file sync, you can use lsyncd on top of rsync https://github.com/axkibe/lsyncd.

  Do consider Syncthing particularly if you are using Android. If using apple iOS you'd need the möbius sync client. https://syncthing.net/ https://www.mobiussync.com/ One thing that it beats the cloud / centralized sync on is because the connection is direct between devices when the initial transfer is completed the file is completely there on the other device.
