[Liverpool] LivLUG Meeting - Weds July 1st @ 7pm

[John Church]

I just wanted to say thanks to Dan and Seb for 2 very interesting talks last night.

I didn't get a chance to speak to Seb in the pub afterwards but I wanted to ask him, or indeed anyone else whether they'd ever tried Seafile?


http://seafile.com/en/home/


It doesn't use peer to peer like syncthing so its more comparable with services like dropbox or spideroak.

I've been using it as a replacement for Dropbox for about 6 months now. I'm running the seafile server on a Digital Ocean droplet and have the client application installed on Linux, Windows and Android.

It's been really reliable so far although I'm using it with MBs rather than GBs of data so I can't testify to it's scalability.


Thanks,

John

LOCATION: DoES Liverpool, Hanover St.
DATE: Weds June 3rd @ 7pm


Hello all,

Sorry for the short notice, but our next meeting is tomorrow evening at
7pm. This month we have a buy one, get one free offer with two mini talks.

Sebastian Arcus is going to talk to us about Syncthing, a completely
open, P2P file syncing protocol and software that looks very interesting.

Dan Lynch will discuss his experiences with ZeroTier One, something that
was mentioned tangentially in last month's talk. ZeroTier One could be
described as a Peer-to-Peer VPN (well, it is described as such, one their
web site). An easier way of accessing your computers from anywhere
without getting involved in VPN configuration and router port forwarding.

The two projects also complement each other in some ways.

The meeting will be held at our new home, DoES Liverpool. We arrive
around 7pm with the talks starting at 7:30. You can find directions to
DoES at http://doesliverpool.com/location - after the talks we will
retire to a local hostelry for some more off-topic discussions.

All are welcome, age and technical experience are neither a requirement
or barrier to anyone. LivLUG is an informal group and our meetings
reflect this, so if you have any interest in either of the above topics,
or just want to meet other Linux users for a chat or advice, feel frre to
come along.
