Hello fellow selfhosters! I have a laptop and a tablet (both running endeavourOS), and I want a certain folder to be always in sync. I also have a very potato server.
My two options currently are Nextcloud and Syncthing. The laptop and the tablet are rarely online at the same time, so I need the server as middleman (so, no syncthing laptop <-> tablet, but laptop <-> server <-> tablet).

Which one do you recommend? The power consumption (of the client) is also very important, because both the laptop and the tablet are battery-powered

I’m also open to other options as well!

thanks in advance to everyone!

Edit: thanks to everyone for your precious help! I finally set up syncthing and it’s working flawlessly!

    BT Sync no longer in vogue here? That’s what I’ve used to both sync and distribute certain things. Used to use it for my image backup until immich came along and stole my heart. Still use it for phone backups

      I’ve never heard of it, but it looks very interesting! Except for the working mechanics, from the “user pov” it works similar to syncthing, did I understand correctly?

        Yupp! Set up folders, enable on multiple computers; baby, you got a stew going
