instantly sync data among home servers

Sync Servers

This is a lightweight server sync app designed for home servers. It instantly syncs changed files from one server to other servers, or perodically cron syncs.

A use case is to sync files to multiple servers without setting up cloud costly. This project is a component of my homeservers project, which leverage this to sync up my cam uploaded files to other servers.

Inotify is leveraged to monitor files changes, asynclcron is to run cron tasks, and rsync is to sync files.

A recursive_watch class, based on asyncinotify example and improved, is included to recursively monitor a folder tree.
