From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Have you looked into SyncThing?
+1 for Syncthing, I use it a lot. However anyone have any methods of 1-way sync? I'd like to backup camera photos from my phone with it but not have a 2-way sync so I can delete the pictures off my phone, and not have it deleted on my server. At one point I found a discussion with the developers about this exact use case and if I remember right, they were kind or in the camp of 'that use case extends beyond what we envision for the app and would introduce more complexities, so we're not a big fan of introducing that feature.'
Syncthing can do one way sync
I have multiple one way syncs set up, I've never had any issues.
it's not 2-way vs 1-way sync (also, ppl who replied didn't read your requirements lol), it's that you want to ignore deletes, which is not possible.
True but you could set up a schedule /cronjob to move the files from the shared folder perhaps. Would be a bit extra traffic I guess if pics are not deleted on main device regularly.
are you sure you would this something like that on your devices? Because I'm not sure if you reasoned enough about that monstruosity you randomly propose here :D
Sorry uh what come again?
don't worry, in time you will learn to think about the consequences of the solutions you now think are resolutive 😉
Funny guy ain't ya? Small dick energy all over
actually I'm not sure of the qualities you go looking for online, certainly not the solidity of solutions that you seem to be looking for 🤷but ehi, I'm not here to judge! Cyao :*
