# File synchronization
|
|
|
|
Tools to synchronize data and so called clouds are pretty handy to use files on
|
|
different machines.
|
|
There are tools with a main server and there are tools that don't need them.
|
|
|
|
## Synchronizing with server
|
|
|
|
The biggest advantage of having a main server contain your data is that - as
|
|
long as the server is online -
|
|
you can sync as you please.
|
|
You do not need to care which machines are online to get all the files you need.
|
|
If you are talking about a cloud, this is this.
|
|
|
|
- [Owncloud](./owncloud.md) is a self-hostable, open-source file hosting service
|
|
that can be dockerized.
|
|
|
|
## Synchronizing without server
|
|
|
|
If you can bare the difficulties ascending due to the mentioned above problems,
|
|
this is probably a more
|
|
safe way to "host" files.
|
|
There is no single server as point of attack with all your data.
|
|
|
|
- [Syncthing](./syncthing.md) is a free and open-source peer-to-peer file
|
|
synchronization tool that can be dockerized.
