cyberluna OP , 4 months ago (edited 3 months ago)

i’m not familiar with rclone. I’m kinda familiar with rsync, but not much so excuse me if i got something wrong,

3 main things that are in lunas but not in rsync

• multi directory syncing with src and/or dest for each input directory

u can sync as many directories, locally and remotely, ig as your ram can handle

src input directories -> files are not synced to them, but they sync to other input directories

dest input directories -> files ARE synced to them, but they DON’T sync to other input directories

src+dest input directories -> they do both, files are synced to them, and from them to other input directories

lunas -p dir1 -p dir2 -p dir3 -p dir4 -p dir5 -r user@ip:dir6

all of these dirs should be the same at the end, since -p is src and dest at the same time, same for -r

• config file -> which many presets could be defined and used very conveniently " lunas -c preset_name"

path : ~/.config/lunas/lunas.conf

<span style="color:#323232;">global{
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    resume = on  # resume file syncing if it was interrupted
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">   progress = on # show progress bar for file syncing
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">   update = on # check for file mtimes and resync them based on mtime difference. Newer to old
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">   mkdir = on # make input directories if not there
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">   compression = on # in remote transfer, zlib is used
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">}
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">cool{
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">   p = /path/to/dir
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">   r = user@ip:/path/to/dir
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">   verbose = on
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">   attributes = atime
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">}
</span>

command > lunas -c cool

using this command lunas would load what’s in the preset named “cool”, and tries to sync the paths inside them and enable the options. And there is >the special preset called “global” which can always run while using -c preset, or normally using the cli “lunas -p dir -p dir2” this basically lets the user >defined their default options that make sense for them instead of rewriting them in the cli each time

btw lunas can load multiple presets at once

lunas -c cool -c other_preset -c etc

• sync removal -> to sync remove files from other directories

in case someone wanted to delete a directory or file and don’t want them to be synced back to other backup directories for instance, or want them >removed, they could use sync removal. By default it acts as excluding, unless -cr Y is used, then it should remove them from other input directories, >if found

or --exclude can be used to exclude files without removing them, i’m thinking of maybe adding a .lunasignore file similar to .gitignore to make this >extra convenient

lunas doesn’t have as many options as rsync, it still has many tho, u could take a quick look at both of them to compare if you want. But i’m still developing lunas and i wanna make it even more cooler, it’s been like over 6 months since i started it, so hopefully more cool stuff come in the future
