bitpocket is a small Shell script that performs two-way directory synchronization using rsync, with proper handling of file creation and deletion. It uses any SSH-accessible server as central storage, acting as a DIY Dropbox alternative.
Use cases
- sync a folder between my laptop and my server in both directions
- DIY Dropbox using my own hosting storage
- two-way rsync that handles deletions correctly
- keep files in sync across multiple machines over ssh
- automated scheduled directory sync with cron
When to choose
- you have SSH access to a server with spare disk space and want self-hosted file sync
- you need lightweight, scriptable two-way sync without running a sync daemon
- you want proper deletion tracking that plain rsync two-way sync lacks
When to avoid
- you need real-time sync, versioning UI, or file sharing links like Dropbox provides
- you prefer a GUI sync client or don't use the command line
- you need sync between machines without SSH access to a central host
