Hi,

Syncthing is just a daemon written in Go that runs in the user session
and synchronizes directories between devices without a central
repository. Installation is as easy as

	sudo apt install syncthing
	mkdir -p ~/.config/systemd/user
	cp /usr/lib/systemd/user/syncthing.service \
		~/.config/systemd/user
	systemctl --user enable --now syncthing.service
	firefox http://localhost:8384

For multiple users on the same host you have to configure individual
ports in `~/.config/syncthing/config.xml` and run the daemon from the
system service manager:

	systemctl enable --now syncthing@${USER}.service

With this trick, every instance becoms it's own "device". I run this
setup on my NAS at home with 4 users.
