EteSync - Secure Data Sync
The EteSync Web App - Use EteSync from the browser!
Usage
Note: This is still in an early stage, but it should be safe to use. It uses the battle tested sjcl javascript crypto library for encryption, so that should be fine too.
A live instance is available on: https://client.etesync.com
Please be advised that while it's probably safe enough to use the hosted client in many cases, it's generally not preferable. It's recommended that you use signed releases which's signature you manually verify and are run locally!
More info is available on the FAQ.
Running your own
You can either self-host your own client to be served from your own server, or better yet, just run an instance locally.
You can get the latest version of the web client from https://client.etesync.com/etesync-web.tgz. This
file is automatically generated on each deploy and is exactly the same as the delpoyed version.
After fetching thise file you need to extract it by e.g. running tar -xzf etesync-web.tgz, and then
you can serve the files using your favourite web server. Please keep in mind that opening the HTML files
directly in the browser is not supported.
If you are just serving the app locally, you could, for example, use the python built-in web server by
running python3 -m http.server from inside the extracted etesync-web directory. If you plan on
serving it from a server, please use a proper web server such as nginx.
Building it yourself
Before you can build the web app from source, you need to make sure you have yarn install.
Then clone this repository yarn, run yarn and wait until all of the deps are installed.
Then it's recommended you run yarn build to build a production ready client you should serve
(even if run locally!) and then just serve the build directory from a web server.
Serving from a subdirectory
In order to run your own version and serve it from a subdirectory rather than the top level of the domain, add "homepage": "/subdir-name" to the package.json file.
