multi directory syncing with src and/or dest for each input directory. u can sync as many directories, locally and remotely, ig as your ram can handle

u could read more about it in this reply

i’m not familiar with rclone. I’m kinda familiar with rsync, but not much so excuse me if i got something wrong,

3 main things that are in lunas but not in rsync

1 - multi directory syncing with src and/or dest for each input directory u can sync as many directories, locally and remotely, ig as your ram can handle

src input directories -> files are not synced to them, but they sync to other input directories

dest input directories -> files ARE synced to them, but they DON’T sync to other input directories

src+dest input directories -> they do both, files are synced to them, and from them to other input directories

lunas -p dir1 -p dir2 -p dir3 -p dir4 -p dir5 -r user@ip:dir6

all of these dirs should be the same at the end, since -p is src and dest at the same time, same for -r

2 - config file -> which many presets could be defined and used very conveniently " lunas -c preset_name"

path : ~/.config/lunas/lunas.conf

global{

resume = on  # resume file syncing if it was interrupted

progress = on # show progress bar for file syncing

difference = on # check for file mtimes and sync.resync them based on mtime difference. Newer to old

mkdir = on # make input directories if not there

compression = on # in remote transfer, zlib is used

}

cool{

p = /path/to/dir

r = user@ip:/path/to/dir

verbose = on

attributes = atime

}

command > lunas -c cool

using this command lunas would load what’s in the preset named “cool”, and tries to sync the paths inside them and enable the options. And there is the special preset called “global” which can always run while using -c preset, or normally using the cli “lunas -p dir -p dir2” this basically lets the user defined their default options that make sense for them instead of rewriting them in the cli each time

btw lunas can load multiple presets at once

lunas -c cool -c other_preset -c etc

3 - sync removal -> to sync remove files from other directories

in case someone wanted to delete a directory or file and don’t want them to be synced back to other backup directories for instance, or want them removed, they could use sync removal. By default it acts as excluding, unless -cr Y is used, then it should remove them from other input directories, if found

or --exclude can be used to exclude files without removing them, i’m thinking of adding a .lunasignore file similar to .gitignore to make this extra convenient

lunas doesn’t have as many options as rsync, it still has many tho, u could take a quick look at both of them to compare if you want. But i’m still developing lunas and i wanna make it even more cooler, it’s been like over 6 months since i started it, so hopefully more cool stuff come in the future
