  • bug fix: change ā€˜\ā€™ from windows path to ā€˜/ā€™ >:(
  • smaller demo binaries (thanks upx)

It wasnā€™t TOOOO hard to build this, but still challenging!

Had to build a rust http server for the first time! That was pretty cool :D

Basically done! I mean it works now, just have a few more ideas to improve :)

what new

  • New .yoinkconfig file (server & client) to configure at compile time
  • Added the .yoinkignore file to specify which paths to ignore when transferring
  • Added the .yoinkpass config for the server

what now

  • Make it support multi paths to transfer (not just one)
  • Wait for a path to be available (like F: for a USB stick to backup)

Hi!! Iā€™m still prototyping a lot, but I got some progress!

titleā„¢

Right now, the client reads a pre-defined folder (./test) and sends all the files path it found to the server. The server replies with the files that are not up to date (all for now, database doesnā€™t exist yet) and the client logs the response.

Next steps!

send the files, and implement the database on the server
oh and check the hash! the server will reply with the known hash of files it already has so that the client can check if it changed :)
