    I built a CLI tool called `sshsync` to run shell commands and transfer files across multiple servers over SSH concurrently. It was inspired by tools like `pssh`, but I wanted something more modern, intuitive, and Pythonic. What it does: - Run shell commands on multiple servers (in parallel) - Push/pull files or directories with progress bars - Uses `~/.ssh/config` and lets you group hosts with YAML - Supports `--dry-run` mode to preview actions without executing - Outputs results using `rich` (tables, colors) - Built with `Typer`, `asyncssh`, and `rich` There’s no daemon or…

    i made sink. it's a simple little tool that continuously syncs folders between 2 devices. no cloud, no email, flash drives, no bs. it just uses your local wifi. run it on your machines, tell them to trust each other, and you're set. and if you manage to edit the same file at once, it handles the conflict and saves both copies. for anyone who just wants to get files from point a to b without the headache. hope it makes your life a bit less annoying. github: https://github.com/sirbread/sink binary:…

    Hi HN, Today we’re launching PowerSync, a Postgres<>SQLite bi-directional sync engine that enables an offline-first app architecture. It currently supports Flutter, React Native and web (JavaScript) using Wasm SQLite in the browser, with more client SDKs on the way. Conrad and I (Ralf) have been working on our sync engine since 2009, originally as part of a full-stack app platform. That version of the system is still used in production worldwide and we’ve learnt a lot from its use cases and scaling. About a year ago we started on spinning off PowerSync as a standalone product that is…

    ts-ssh solves a specific problem: accessing machines on your Tailnet from environments where you can't install the full Tailscale daemon (like CI&#x2F;CD runners or restricted systems). It uses Tailscale's tsnet library to establish userspace connectivity, then provides a standard SSH experience. Works with existing workflows since it supports normal SSH features like ProxyCommand, key auth, and terminal handling. Some features that proved useful: • Parallel command execution across multiple hosts • Built-in tmux session management for multi-host work • SCP-style file transfers • Works on…

    Hey HN, we're Evis and Nick and we're excited to be launching Neosync (https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.github.com&#x2F;nucleuscloud&#x2F;neosync). Neosync is an open source platform that helps developers anonymize production data, generate synthetic data and sync it across their environments for better testing, debugging and developer experience. Most developers and teams have some version of a database seed script that creates some mock data for their local and stage databases. The problem is that production data is messy and it’s very difficult to replicate that with mock data. This causes two big…

    Hey HN, we're Evis and Nick, we're excited to be launching Neosync on HN! Neosync is an open source data replication and anonymization project that helps developers create safe, anonymized test data and sync it across all environments for high-quality local, stage and CI testing. This is how it works: 1. You select a job type. Today we support data sync jobs (these sync data between two databases and run on a schedule you define) and a data generation job (this generates synthetic data from scratch and sends it to a destination). 2. Next you define your source database and a destination(s)…

    Hello HN. I worked on this small project recently called dsync. I have a few directories where I keep adding stuff and I need to sync them to an external drive from time to time. In the spirit of "write your own tools", I wrote my own. The tool itself is really simple. It tries to sync source directories or files to a destination directory based on size and modification time, basically copying the source files if they don't match. dsync can use multiple threads (specified via an option). It uses a bounded multi-producer multi-consumer queue (C implementation of Dmitry Vyukov's bounded MPMC…
