LiveSync Bridge

What is this?

This is a custom replicator between Self-hosted LiveSync remote vaults and storage. The Unified Version of filesystem-livesync and livesync-classroom.

A Vault or storage can be synchronised with vaults or storage. You can even combine them. Of course, different passphrases for each vault could be used. And, you can synchronize documents under the specified folder on the vault, to another vault's specified one.

Of course, it is multi-directional!

How to use

Prerequisites

Simply run

  1. Clone the GitHub Repository
git clone --recursive https://github.com/vrtmrz/livesync-bridge
  1. Open the config file dat/config.sample.json, edit and save to dat/config.json. (You do not have to worry, the sample is in the following section).
  2. Simply run like this.
$ deno run -A main.ts

Note: If you want to scan all storage and databases from the beginning, please run with --reset.

Docker Instructions

  1. Clone the GitHub Repository
git clone https://github.com/vrtmrz/livesync-bridge
  1. Open the config file dat/config.sample.json, edit and save to dat/config.json. (The storage folder has to start with "data/" to be in the volume)

  2. Simply run like this.

docker compose up -d

Configuration

The configuration file consists of the following structure.

{
  "peers": [
    {
      "type": "couchdb", // Type should be `couchdb or storage`
      "name": "test1", // Should be unique
      "group": "main", // we can omit this.
      "database": "test",
      "username": "admin",
      "password": "password",
      "url": "http://localhost:5984",
      "customChunkSize": 100,
      "minimumChunkSize": 20,
      "passphrase": "passphrase", // E2EE passphrase, if you do not enabled, leave it blank.
      "obfuscatePassphrase": "passphrase", // Path obfuscation passphrase, if you do not enabled, leave it blank. if enabled, set the same value of passphrase.
      "baseDir": "blog/", // Sharing folder
      "useRemoteTweaks":true // Overwrite customChunkSize or minimumChunkSize, and check configuration matches
    },
    {
      "type": "couchdb",
      "name": "test2", // We can even synchronise the same databases as long as they have different names in here.
      "group": "main", // we can omit this.
      "database": "test2",
      "username": "admin",
      "passphrase": "passphrase",

        "cmd": "script/test.sh",  // The programme which run at file modification or deletion.
        "args": [ "$filename", "$mode" ] 
        // The modified file is set to $filename. The mode is set to `deleted` or `modified`. 
        // $filename and $mode have been set also in environment variables.
      },

Realistic example

name database_uri / path CouchDB username CouchDB password vault E2EE passphrase baseDir
private vault of Cornbread http://localhost:5984/classroom_cornbread cornbread tackle glucose shared/
shared vault http://localhost:5984/classroom_shared common_user resu_nommoc cocoa
private vault of Vanilla http://localhost:5984/classroom_vanilla vanilla liberty smock kyouyuu/
storage ./vault/

Cornbread's every document under "shared" is synchronized with the top of the shared vault:

Cornbread shared
document1 Not transferred
document2 Not transferred
shared/shared_doc1 shared_doc1
shared/sub/sub_doc sub/sub_doc

Vanilla's every document under "kyouyuu" is synchronized with the top of the shared vault:

Vanilla shared
documentA Not transferred
documentB Not transferred
kyouyuu/some_doc some_doc
kyouyuu/sub/some_sub_doc sub/some_sub_doc

Totally, all files are synchronized like this:

Cornbread shared Vanilla
document1 Not transferred
document2 Not transferred
Not transferred documentA
Not transferred documentB
shared/shared_doc1 shared_doc1 kyouyuu/shared_doc1
shared/some_doc some_doc kyouyuu/some_doc
shared/sub/some_sub_doc sub/some_sub_doc kyouyuu/sub/some_sub_doc
shared/sub/sub_doc sub/sub_doc kyouyuu/sub/sub_doc

... with the configuration below:
