不太理解，为什么同步需要两个设备同时在线，如果一个是公司电脑，一个是家里电脑，这个场景下就无法使用功能同步呀

I don’t quite understand why synchronization requires two devices to be online at the same time. If one is a company computer and the other is a home computer, functional synchronization cannot be used in this scenario.

[arvinxx]

不太理解，为什么同步需要两个设备同时在线

这个是和 WebRTC 本身的通信特性有关系，由于目前的技术选型（纯前端、无服务端）的情况下，两个设备的数据同步只能通过点对点通信的形式达成。当一个设备在线，一个设备离线的情况下，我们无从感知数据到底应该从哪来，只有当两台设备都在线的时候，双发数据才能通信。

其实这种模式更像是一个在线聊天室，大家都在线时才能看到对方的数据，然后达成同步。

如果一个是公司电脑，一个是家里电脑，这个场景下就无法使用功能同步呀

是的，你说的没错，那这也我实现完这个功能之后发现的问题。WebRTC 这种纯点对点的方式在某些情况下并无法完全满足用户的诉求，同时也存在一些数据同步层面的问题。这也是我认为这个功能目前也仅算是「实验」的原因。

但是这个模式最大的意义，是让我确信，基于 YJS 我们可以很轻松地实现跨端的数据同步，至于 WebRTC，只是达成同步的一个模式而已 。而我们未来更进一步的，则是在 YJS 这个同步引擎基础上，引入更多的服务端存储层，例如 基于 Redis 的 Upstash 、MongoDB 、甚至于 S3 、文件系统等等。而到这个时候，就是我们的云同步体验达到完美的阶段。

I don’t quite understand why synchronization requires two devices to be online at the same time.

This is related to the communication characteristics of WebRTC itself. Due to the current technology selection (pure front-end, no server), data synchronization between two devices can only be achieved through point-to-point communication. When one device is online and the other is offline, we have no way of knowing where the data should come from. Only when both devices are online can dual-send data communicate.

In fact, this model is more like an online chat room. Only when everyone is online can they see each other's data and then achieve synchronization.

If one is a company computer and the other is a home computer, function synchronization cannot be used in this scenario.

Yes, you are right, then this is also a problem I discovered after implementing this function. The purely point-to-point approach of WebRTC cannot fully meet the needs of users in some cases, and there are also some data synchronization issues. This is why I think this feature is only an "experiment" at the moment.

But the greatest significance of this model is that it convinces me that based on YJS we can easily achieve cross-end data synchronization. As for WebRTC, it is just a model for achieving synchronization. What we will go one step further in the future is to introduce more server-side storage layers based on the YJS synchronization engine, such as Redis-based Upstash, MongoDB, and even S3, file systems, etc. By this time, our cloud synchronization experience has reached the perfect stage.

和我的情况不太一样，我是分别用vercel和本地docker部署的： 在PC上把vercel和本地docker的都打开，这两个之间可以同步； 手机用自己sim卡上网的时候，无法和PC同步； 手机网络换成和PC一样的WIFI，可以合PC同步

The situation is different from mine. I deployed it using vercel and local docker respectively: Open both vercel and local docker on the PC, and the two can be synchronized; When the mobile phone uses its own SIM card to access the Internet, it cannot synchronize with the PC; Change the mobile network to the same WIFI as the PC, and you can synchronize it with the PC

同样电脑和手机不能同步，但是两台家里电脑和公司电脑之间能同步，本想通过手机作为中介来同步两台电脑的，结果不行。 我还想过在服务器上运行一个firefox浏览器(jlesage/firefox)，作为一个永不下线的终端，结果也不能同步。

Similarly, computers and mobile phones cannot be synchronized, but two home computers and work computers can be synchronized. I wanted to use mobile phones as an intermediary to synchronize the two computers, but it didn't work. I also thought about running a firefox browser (jlesage/firefox) on the server. As a terminal that never goes offline, the results cannot be synchronized.

Both the mobile phone and the computer show that they have been synchronized, but you can still only see their respective chat records.

Me too, I haven't tested whether it can be synchronized normally with a network, but it cannot be synchronized normally when using computer wifi and mobile phone data.

There is a strange phenomenon, mainly because different devices are online at the same time. In the channel, it is not possible to see who is online, and the status is not synchronized but connected.

用docker部署的lobehub无法在局域网打开同步。 我在一台主机上用docker部署了lobechat，然后通过其它设备用内网访问ip，结果发现部署lobechat的主机可以开启同步功能，但是在别的主机上的同步功能却无法开启。

具体表现为：尽管云端同步的“开启同步”按钮是打开的，却一直显示同步未开启

The lobehub deployed with docker cannot be synchronized on the LAN. I deployed lobechat on one host using docker, and then accessed the IP through the intranet through other devices. It turned out that the synchronization function could be enabled on the host where lobechat was deployed, but the synchronization function on other hosts could not be enabled.

The specific performance is as follows: Although the "Turn on synchronization" button of cloud synchronization is turned on, it always shows that synchronization is not turned on.

使用docker在vps上部署，在windows和安卓手机上使用，访问同一个端口。两台设备不管在什么条件下都无法同步。配置完成打开同步开关选项后没有任何变化，依然显示同步未开启

Use docker to deploy on vps, use it on windows and Android phones, and access the same port. The two devices cannot be synchronized regardless of the conditions. After the configuration is completed and the synchronization switch option is turned on, there is no change, and it still shows that synchronization is not turned on.

[sherlcok314159]

同步一直没成功过，换了好几个版本也没成功过 (mac-win firefox），内网，外网都不行。

同时，看起来还会向 wss://y-webrtc-signaling.lobehub.com/ 发送连接，我的数据是安全的吗？

另外，我认为 webrtc 是个糟糕的选择，理由如下：

• 借助这种同步方式，得设备同时在线，这太鸡肋了吧，合着我要同步还得另一台保持开启？
• 如果同步中网络出现问题，数据是否会传输完毕，丢失情况以及后处理逻辑都需要考虑，一点不简洁

为什么不把数据放到本地呢？借助 docker volumes 或许你根本不需要多写什么逻辑，多端根本不需要同步，而且十分稳定，我觉得你花时间重构这部分代码比你折腾 rtc 更有效率。当然，还是尊重作者的个人倾向，很赞的工具！

以上

The synchronization has never been successful, even after changing several versions (mac-win firefox), neither on the internal network nor on the external network.

Also, it looks like a connection is being sent to wss://y-webrtc-signaling.lobehub.com/, is my data safe?

Also, I think webrtc is a bad choice for the following reasons:

• With this synchronization method, all devices must be online at the same time. Isn’t this too useless? If I want to synchronize, I have to keep the other device turned on?
• If there is a problem with the network during synchronization, whether the data will be transmitted completely, the loss situation and the post-processing logic need to be considered, which is not simple at all.

Why not put the data locally? With docker volumes, you may not need to write any more logic at all. The multiple terminals do not need to be synchronized at all, and they are very stable. I think it is more efficient for you to spend time refactoring this part of the code than to toss around rtc. Of course, I still respect the author’s personal preferences. It’s a great tool!
