Files managed using Marmot.

Pocketbase also does file uploads to local and S3.

I would like to brain storm the idea of using Marmot to make file uploads distributed without S3.

suggested Logic:

PB upload to local , just like it does to SQLite.

Fike system watcher sees the new file and then proceeds to replicate it to any other system instances , just like It does to SQLite.

advanced upload logic:

A user uploads from their device to their browser .
The browser then uploads in async chunks to the server.

There are multiple tools available that will let you replicate files across your servers (Rsync, Unison, etc). I don't want Marmot to invest in a problem it's not supposed to deal with. It's a SQLite replication focused, and it should stick to SQLite replication. Anyone looking for replicating files should look into tool focused on doing that. Now it's totally possible to have a bundled configuration where PocketBase + Marmot + Unison can be used to have fully replicated copies, but that is bundling focused problem them. I recently helped someone exactly do that, hopefully they opensource it.

@maxpert Ok fair enough. I prefer to use NATS ( as it has Obj store that is perfect for my use cases ) and so will investigate linking the Pocketbase file uploads to a NATS based system.
