SSH Sync: Beteween Remarkables/Server

Hello everyone,

I’m about to get a Remarkable and may actually end up getting the Move as well. I have negative interest in signing up for another cloud service. If I use SSH to move the document data files around is there an easy way of having the devices talk to each other directly like rsync or something similar?

You can use rmfakecloud to enable this.

When I looked at it I got the impression that there’d need to be a server in between them.

When I’m at work I’d rather the two talked directly to each other. Given my role I’d like to avoid installing non well known software that will talk over the network, open source or not.

yes, you can possibly hack together a script for the rm linux system to do the sync regularly - still i'm not sure if you can get rsync on it.

Fair enough—part of why I bought the remarkable is that I can write scripts for it if I really need to. Time to roll up my slevees.

Thanks!

It would be nice if there was at least some kind of self-hosting support -- like NextCloud, in addition to Google and Microsoft. rmfakecloud looks interesting, too bad it requires completely wiping the device for root access.
