How to Operate

When multiple devices to be synchronized are on the same LAN (or via a relay server, public beta in progress, click to learn more), you can use peer-to-peer (P2P) to sync files.

This feature requires the use of a signaling server. For details, see Start the Signaling Server.After following the above steps, the content across multiple vaults will sync automatically; edits made in one vault will be updated to other vaults in real time.

Step 1: Start the Signaling Server

bash

$ git clone git@github.com:abcamus/webrtc-signaling-server.git
$ cd webrtc-signaling-server
$ npm run docker:build
$ npm run docker:run

Check the signaling server IP (assumed to be X.X.X.X:1234).

Step 2: Configure Peer-to-Peer Sync

1. Open the Sync Vault plugin settings, select Get started, then choose Real-time sync.
2. Click Sync settings, and enter ws://X.X.X.X:1234 in the Connection server input box.

Step 3: Discover and Connect Devices

Click the cloud icon (sidebar on PC, or icon in the bottom hamburger menu on mobile).

The Connection status shows the current device name and the number of connected devices.

Scenarios Where Direct Connection Fails

Relay via a TURN Server is required. For how to deploy it on a NAS, refer to here.
