Mirror Directories (/sync)

Mirror Directories: /sync

/sync <src> <dst> mirrors a directory via rsync between local and server. rsync must be present on both sides; server-to-server is not supported.

Dry-run is the default

Without --apply, /sync runs as a dry run and only shows what would change — a safeguard against accidental mass changes:

/sync /srv/data homeserver:/backup/data
── DRY RUN (no changes) — re-run with --apply to execute ──

Only with --apply does the actual transfer happen.

Deletion only with a second confirmation

--delete removes files on the destination that are missing in the source. This is only allowed with the matching token:

/sync /srv/data homeserver:/backup/data --apply --delete --confirm-delete=homeserver

If the destination is also under a protected path, --confirm=<server> is required as well.

Tip: Mind the trailing slashes — dir copies the directory itself, dir/ copies its contents.
