#221971 — best Debian available package to sync files

I know I may be misusing the word "sync".
I would like to ask if anyone can recommend the easy, yet "free" way of
getting some kind of file synchronization with a remote (like dropbox,
or onedrive). What would be the best way to set this up using packages
readily available in Debian. Can someone recommend an alternative to
dropbox, onedrive or google drive, which maybe provides more control of
my data to me?
thank you,

In my experience syncthing is not good at syncing 10 devices (amd64
debian, 32 bits raspbian, android) and 10 directories.

During tests I pushed syncthing to its limits.

Better restrict it to a few.

Sorry, my mistake,

To have a running FreedomBox, first install Debian (Buster or higher)
on a <b>clean</b> machine. 

Then run:

$ sudo apt install freedombox

FreedomBox is a community project to develop, design and promote
personal servers running free software for private, personal
communications. It is a networking appliance designed to allow
interfacing with the rest of the Internet under conditions of protected
privacy and data security. It hosts applications such as blog, wiki,
website, social network, email, web proxy and a Tor relay, on a device
that can replace your Wi-Fi router, so that your data stays with you.

I can tell you it is really nice.

Only problem I had: it is based on Apache, and I am used to nginx.

Perhaps freedombox is what you are looking for:

in buster:

sudo apt install freedombox

Good luck!

A good thing about freedombox is that you can register your own server
at XXXYYYZZZ.freedombox.rocks for free.

So you don't have to pay for DNS.

You can register at:

https://gnudip.datasystems24.net/gnudip/cgi-bin/gnudip.cgi

with ez-ipupdate you can keep your address when your provider changes
your ip

sudo apt install ez-ipupdate

Now you have your absolute free internet server.

Please run it on a solar powered raspberry pi to keep it really
absolute free ;-)
