Hi all.

As the title suggests I've been experimenting with some options trying to find the best way to sync boatloads of small files (Python venv stuff). I've been using Dropbox and hating it. NextCloud is both better and worse for this. Nothing really works well over OpenVPN (the MTU and such checks out etc, just the nature of transfers). I'm double-NAT'd so FTP is not something I want to dabble with just yet. I've tried WebDAV with limited success.

I'll be doing up a GitLab instance here shortly. Just wanted to ask if anyone here has any suggestions.

The ideal sync client would compress everything locally, ship it up, then decompress it on the server.
Samba and WebDAV so far have been very lackluster.

Cheers.

Honestly... Docker. :/

I never found a good answer to this other than occasionally zipping up packs of files and moving them as I need occasionally (think - PyCharm config folder in $HOME), and using Gitlab w/ Github desktop client, and Docker which I'm working on learning for my uses.

Kind of just dodging this problem because frankly I dont think it's realistic outside of zipping/tarballing.

Alternative inputs welcome. Cheers.
