Re: [Zim-wiki] I finally found an easy solution to sync my zim notebook across computers
Hi, that sounds interesting. Can you be more specific about usage of git-annex or SparkleShare? I don't want to dive into the documentation and find ways how to use it with Zim if you already know the best practices. I'm actually using Git and Dropbox (which can be replaced by any other similarly working service such as Ubuntu one or ownCloud). I have my local repository somewhere on my computer and than the remote repository is just file-based repository in Dropbox (or whatever) folder. How does Git plus file-based-cloud-service compare to git-annex or SparkleShare? We probably should share this on the wiki.

I had to install yet another binary blob on my system. Other than that, it works flawlessly. Sync is encrypted, all I need is a key which consists of a a random string. Sync is peer to peer, so there is no need to set up servers and whatnot. Rsync, samba shares, sftp, they all work but are, in my opinion, too high maintenance. I ended up just putting my notebooks in my dropbox folder, but never felt too happy about storing personal information on a server I don't control. Therefore I never really wrote there any valuable personal information such as document numbers, addresses, etc. Now I just created a share folder with bittorrent sync and saved the key to myself. Every now and then I leave a personal computer on when I go to work so everything gets synced. I would recommend this to most people as is it probably simpler to use than anything else and solves the issue of trusting third parties. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~zim-wiki Post to : zim-wiki@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~zim-wiki More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp -- == CAUTION: You will accept responsibility for any viruses or similar carried within your email, or any effects (detrimental or otherwise) your email may have on my computer system or network.
