    I’m using Headscale for something similar. I have a VPS and a server at home. Both are on the same Headscale network. On the home server I set up a Matrix server. On the VPS I set up Caddy as a reverse proxy for the home server with its Headscale IP. It works nicely.

    I’m not on 4G, though.






  • I didn’t know that was a possibility. Still, it seem kind of not really what Syncthing is intended for. I mean, they even state it in their FAQ:

    No. Syncthing is not a great backup application because all changes to your files (modifications, deletions, etc.) will be propagated to all your devices. You can enable versioning, but we encourage you to use other tools to keep your data safe from your (or our) mistakes.


  • I think you are confusing synchronizing with backup. If you delete a file in your Syncthing folder and the deletion gets synchronized, that file is lost. If you do the same in a folder backed up by, say, Borg, you can roll back the deletion and restore the file.

    I may be wrong about Syncthing, though. I haven’t used it yet, but will probably use it in the future. Just not for backup :)
