Deneb - distributed directory synchronization

Section titled “Deneb - distributed directory synchronization”

Build status

Overview

Section titled “Overview”

NO LONGER UNDER ACTIVE DEVELOPMENT

Deneb is a tool for synchronizing directories across multiple computers, offering a file system interface, and using end-to-end encryption.

Deneb is only usable for development and experimentation, no important or valuable data should be stored in Deneb. Use at your own risk.

Building

Section titled “Building”

The file system interface of Deneb depends on FUSE. On Linux, it’s available in the distribution’s package repository. For example, on Ubuntu, FUSE can be installed as follows:

$ sudo apt install fuse libfuse-dev

On macOS, there is OSXFUSE, which can either be installed manually or by using Homebrew Cask:

$ brew cask install osxfuse

Deneb is built as a standard Rust application using Cargo:

$ cargo build --all

To run the test suite:

$ cargo test --all

The longer property based integration tests (QuickCheck) are not run by default, but they can be run explicitly:

$ cargo test --all -- --ignored

Running

Section titled “Running”

Deneb can be started with the default settings by running:

$ cargo run --bin deneb

This mounts a Deneb repository at Deneb::mount. To stop this instance, just unmount the repository:

$ umount ~/Deneb/main

During development, Deneb can be started without forking into the background:

$ cargo run --bin deneb -- --foreground

By default, any changes to the contents of the Deneb repository are committed to disk every 5 seconds. The deneb-cli commandline utility can instruct a Deneb instance to commit any outstanding changes:

$ cargo run --bin deneb-cli -- commit
