Features

1. App Controller

Start, Reboot, Stop management of the app. And also, user can check the status of the app. All the management is done by the command line made by cobra library.

2. App Config

By using viper library, environment variables is managed. Mostly it is used for the configuration of the Root Directory Path for sync. And also, it is used for the configuration of the server IP address and port number.

3. Connection Manager

• Server Connection : User can connect with access token and IP address, then dial to server to send first message with user information.
• Root Directory Connection : User can select the directory that user want to manage. Choose Local Root Directory or Remote Root Directory that any folder user wants. And then, user can start to sync.

4. File Manager

By using fsnotify library and goroutine, user can monitor the file changes in the directory. And then, user can send the file changes to the server.

5. File Sync

For make sync in real time, the Sync Metadata is saved in the local db, the BadgerDB. This is for the comparison of the file changes. And also, user can check the file changes in the local db.

6. Extension

HTTP/3 is used for the each cobra command, except the controller command. And also, the API is used for the communication between the client and server. By using the HTTP/3 API, developers can easily integrate the GUI or other functions.
