File Sync Service with Zeroconf Discovery

Overview

This project implements a file synchronization service that utilizes Zeroconf (also known as Bonjour or Avahi) for automatic discovery of devices on a local network. The service allows devices within the same network to synchronize files between them without the need for manual configuration.

Features

• Automatic discovery of devices on the local network using Zeroconf.
• Synchronization of files between discovered devices.
• Simple setup and usage.

Requirements

• Python 3.x
• Zeroconf library (zeroconf or python-zeroconf)
• rsync installed on devices for file synchronization

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/file-sync-service.git

2. Install the required Python dependencies:

   pip install zeroconf

3. Ensure that rsync is installed on all devices that will participate in file synchronization.

Usage

1. Start the file sync service on each device:

   python file_sync_service.py

2. The service will automatically register itself using Zeroconf and start synchronizing files with other discovered devices.

3. Press Enter to exit the service.

Configuration

• By default, the service syncs files from the current directory. You can change the directory to sync by modifying the directory_to_sync variable in the script.
