NO LONGER UNDER ACTIVE DEVELOPMENT
Deneb is a tool for synchronizing directories across multiple computers, offering a file system interface, and using end-to-end encryption.
Deneb is only usable for development and experimentation, no important or valuable data should be stored in Deneb. Use at your own risk.
The file system interface of Deneb depends on FUSE. On Linux, it's available in the distribution's package repository. For example, on Ubuntu, FUSE can be installed as follows:
$ sudo apt install fuse libfuse-dev
On macOS, there is OSXFUSE, which can either be installed manually or by using Homebrew Cask:
$ brew cask install osxfuse
Deneb is built as a standard Rust application using Cargo:
$ cargo build --all
To run the test suite:
$ cargo test --all
The longer property based integration tests (QuickCheck) are not run by default, but they can be run explicitly:
$ cargo test --all -- --ignored
Deneb can be started with the default settings by running:
$ cargo run --bin deneb
This mounts a Deneb repository at Deneb::mount. To stop this instance, just unmount the repository:
$ umount ~/Deneb/main
During development, Deneb can be started without forking into the background:
$ cargo run --bin deneb -- --foreground
By default, any changes to the contents of the Deneb repository are committed to disk every 5 seconds. The deneb-cli commandline utility can instruct a Deneb instance to commit any outstanding changes:
$ cargo run --bin deneb-cli -- commit
