Add the ability to select a directory with a database to setup synchronization via Syncthing #1329

Open dtwrk opened 3 months ago

dtwrk commented 3 months ago

Hello! I ask you to add the ability to select a directory with a Planify database to setup synchronization via Syncthing (https://syncthing.net/). I would like to synchronize tasks between my laptops and computers without using cloud services.

And thanks for the Planify application! ;-)

Have you tried syncing the directory with the database file? For a flatpak installation it's in ~/.var/app/io.github.alainm23.planify/data/io.github.alainm23.planify

Thanks for the answer! I'll make a backup and start testing the synchronization of the directory you specified. I will write about the results later

As I promised, I'm coming back with an answer :-). During this time, I was testing synchronization between two devices using Synching with the Planify application installed via Flatpak. The synchronization method you suggested works correctly. I'm syncing the directory /home/USERNAME/.var/app/io.github.alainm23.planify/data/io.github.alainm23.planify. There were no critical errors/synchronization conflicts. As far as I understand, the database with tasks is contained in the file /home/USERNAME/.var/app/io.github.alainm23.planify/data/io.github.alainm23.planify/database.db.

Now I just want to suggest leaving a hint in the Planify application for users on how to synchronize data using Syncthing. May be can place information in the Settings/Integrations?

It looks like an interesting solution but it is not quite complete, there are settings (online accounts, preferences and inbox project id) that are not saved in database but using Gschema.
