Hello!
I recently had issues with my self-hosted instance of Nextcloud so I started looking for an alternative to it.
I would like something that could allow me to make a local network of shared files between devices I choose, if that makes any sense.
I stumbled upon Syncthing but it doesen’t seem what I had in mind: I understand that it replicates folders between devices, but I am looking for a way to distribuite files between machines. Again, like Nextcloud but without a central server to rely to.
Do you know if something of that sort exists?
Or if you have any other solution?
Thank you.
P.S. I am posting it here because it seems like some sort of self-hosting, but maybe I will cross-post it to the decentralized comunity.
Uhm I understood that Syncthing works by copying folders between machines and keeping them synchronized.
Now, what I was looking for is a software that records that, say, machine A has a file, tells that to machine B and retrieves the file only after an explicit B request.
Does Syncthing do that?

I was missing this feature.
I’ll read more carefully the documentation then.
Tank you
