I am also running SyncThing on one of my cloud-hosted servers (alpha, in the diagram below), and this is connected to mcsyncthing too. I use the shellfish app on my iPhone to SSH into mcsyncthing and access my files (shellfish even supports Files App integration).I use restic on mcsyncthing to take hourly backups and store those on Backblaze B2.New folders are initiated on mcsyncthing and shared to the appropriate machines from there.
CRYPTOMATOR CHROMEBOOK INSTALL
While I can install SyncThing on each of my workstations (anorak, astroboy and optimus), it doesn’t help with my iPhone (no SyncThing support), and it makes for a messy backup solution (where do I run backups from?). Make sure my files are all backed up somewhere (ideally, several places).Make sure I can access my files on my iPhone (there is no iPhone app for SyncThing).Make sure my files are available on all my machines.So… Today’s solution is the peer-to-peer syncing client SyncThing. It turns out I rarely need the file sharing capabilities of Google Drive and, when I do, I use my personal instance of transfer.sh. In the past, I’ve tried NextCloud for this, but I’ve frequently run into issues with automatic upgrades failing and the sync client getting stuck in a broken state and failing. I wanted to move to something self-hosted, where my unencrypted data doesn’t get stored on computers that I don’t manage. Up until yesterday, my files were stored in Google Drive, with more sensitive files stored in a Cryptomator vault within Google Drive. The primary focus of this post is my approach to syncing files between my various devices. So… I migrated from Google Mail to Fastmail and, thanks to their migration tool, it turned out that was about 2 minutes of effort. It even support MaskedEmails (randomly generated disposable email addresses). I think a competent mail provider is probably better at security than I am.įastmail is beautiful and blazingly fast. Unfortunately, it’s getting really difficult to find a VPS whose IP range isn’t blacklisted, so I suffered from intermittent delivery problems. Mail-in-a-box makes it super easy to setup a self-hosted mail server.
or ) because I become hostage to that platform. I’m uncomfortable with making my primary email address a commercial one (i.e.Protonmail requires the use of their app on mobile devices.Protonmail’s calendar and contact management is poor and slow.You can use Thunderbird + Protonmail bridge to accomplish this, but it creates some weird bevaviour because you have two keys (the Protonmail one, and the smartcard one). I strongly prefer my GnuPG keys on a smartcard. While this seems cool, I don’t like them managing the keys for me. Protonmail has built in GPG encryption.The other options I considered were Protonmail, and self-hosting with Mail-in-a-Box. Quick Thoughts on Email #Ī quick note about email… While not the focus of this post, I also migrated my email from Google Mail to FastMail. This post is mostly focused on my migration from Google Drive to SyncThing, but I’ll touch on what I did with email too.
CRYPTOMATOR CHROMEBOOK WINDOWS
Today, I’ve flopped toward privacy and self-hosting.Ī couple of days ago, I was using Gmail for the majority of my email and Google Drive for syncing files between my various machines (Windows desktop, Windows laptop, MacbookPro, Chromebook, and iPhone). Every six months or so, when the position of the moon is just right, I flip-flop on the privacy/self-hosted vs.
