GUI file synchronization client that can sync with any cloud provider

Hey 👋! This is my GitHub profile, where I host all of the open-source projects I work on.

The main things I currently surround myself with include Linux, programming in Rust, Debian packaging, and maintaining various servers I use on a daily basis ⚡.

Currently my main focuses 🧑‍💻 are Celeste and makedeb, though I'm often trying new things to see if I can find something that'll keep my curiosity going 🤓.

You can join my Discord server, where I regularly talk 😮 about stuff related to my projects and all the other random stuff that comes to mind 💡.

I'm also currently looking for a job 📝 if you'd like to consider me to be part of your company. You can find my full skillset and resume 🗒️ on my LinkedIn profile, and if you'd just like to learn more about me too, you can find all of that information over on my website 🌐.

I can be contacted via the email listed on my GitHub profile, as well as via any of the methods listed on my website, linked above.

celeste's Issues

Add Proton Drive support

Localization support

It would be great if the app could be translated. I'll provide the Dutch translation once this is possible.

Add SeaFile storage type

Add B2 storage type

Better appadata summary

The current summary "GUI file synchronization client that can sync with any cloud provider" could be better (too long, not a call to action, too many details).

I'd suggest something short and simple, e.g. "Sync your cloud files".

More general guidance here: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/Initiatives/-/wikis/App-Metadata

Add kDrive (Infomaniak) storage type

I use kDrive as cloud provider. It would be nice to be able to use Celeste for synchronisation.

Add AppImage installation method

add dark mode tray icon for plasma desktop

icon color isn't right for plasma desktop.

Celeste crashes when opened, if previously synced local folder not found

Celeste crashes when opened if the previously synced local folder is not found, for example removed or renamed.

Add Dropbox storage type

unwraps and panics instead of handling permission denied error

When selecting a folder that Celeste does not have permission to mount at (in my case /mnt/folder), Celeste crashes, and crashes again every time it's reopened with the following message:

thread 'main' panicked at 'called `Result::unwrap()` on an `Err` value: Os { code: 13, kind: PermissionDenied, message: "Permission denied" }', celeste/src/launch.rs:416:134
stack backtrace:

Add OneDrive storage type

Window gets larger as more errors start to pile up

The main window of celeste seems to get larger when there is a large list of Synchronization errors. 😿

Add SFTP storage type

Add S3 storage type

Celeste can't complete sync when it's open and a file is updated in real time in the local directory (Google Drive)

I was testing the sync functionality when one is working with the files while Celeste is running in the background and I noticed some trouble. When I modify a file in the remote (Google Drive), Celeste is able to sync the corresponding file in the local directory without any problems. However, when modifying the file in the local directory, a sync error appears.

In this example, I opened a text file (test.txt) and added some more characters inside of it. Immediately, Celeste says that the file does not exist, even though they are still stored in the local and remote directories. The remote file was not updated because of said error. Also, when dismissing the error message, it appears again and again, causing Celeste to stop syncing that directory.

Hopefully, the screenshot helps. :)

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create a file in the local directory.
2. Open the file and edit its contents in the local directory.

Consider using lzo compression for the snap package

Hello, I'd like to suggest that the snapcraft.yaml file includes the option to use lzo compression for the application. That way, the boot time for the application will be improved, compared to the default compression used.

Self signed certificate

please add support for the self signed certificate

Unable to log in to Nextcloud

When trying to log in to Nextcloud, the app freezes and stops responding. Force quitting and relaunching the app, then typing in the same details again results in the app telling me that the server name already exists.

Unknown error - thread 'main' panicked.

Everytime I try to sync Google Drive. I get the same error.

thread 'main' panicked at 'internal error: entered unreachable code', celeste/src/launch.rs:2226:33
stack backtrace:

And the app crash.

I get this log from terminal.

Add Flatpak installation method

Add Zoho Workdrive storage type

Add box.com support

Requested at https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/10w725p/introducing_celeste_a_gui_file_synchronization/j7mzsyu?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share&context=3

Add ability to hide servers panel

The panel that shows the list of servers should have the ability to be hidden. Furthermore, when only one server is set up we should always hide it.

Add README.md and App Screenshots

Nextcloud remote folder don't exist

Hello, is there any guide how to configure Nextcloud. How to enter path of remote folder?

Add Archlinux support

It will be great if someone make AUR package.

Regards.

Add ability to automatically start on login

Add Snap installation method

Add Mega storage type

Add on-demand sync functionality.

The idea for this feature is inspired by the functionality offered by multiple cloud providers like pCloud and OneDrive in their native clients.

The aim is to display all files stored in these cloud platforms within the file manager without requiring them to be downloaded. Once accessed through opening and loading them with an application, the files will be synchronized in the background and stored locally. Ideally, there should also be the capability to always keep specific folders/files synchronized in case there is a desire to access them offline or in the event of poor internet connectivity.

The advantages are the ability to synchronize files to the cloud without having to visit the web interface or syncing a particular folder to the local storage initially, and ensuring that references to these files are not broken in the event that they are not intended to be kept on the computer constantly.

Main thread panicks when reading local directory with trailing slash

After saving a folder pair with /home/flo/Dokumente/ as the local folder, the whole application crashed with the following error message:

thread 'main' panicked at 'called `Option::unwrap()` on a `None` value', celeste/src/launch.rs:1594:34

When starting the application again, it crashes approximately half a second after the main window comes up, so I have no chance to interact with it.

The relevant source line:

celeste/celeste/src/launch.rs

Lines 1592 to 1594 in da2f913

	let local_path_stripped = local_path
	.strip_prefix(&format!("{}/", sync_dir.local_path))
	.unwrap();

I installed version v0.3.5 via Flatpak.

Add pCloud storage type

It would be nice if you could also add compatibility with pCloud Storage. They have an API documented here and also some SDK's (no rust though, sadly).

Only sync when files are changed

Currently we sync by just looping forever and checking for changed. It would probably be better to just detect when a directory has been changed and then sync that directory.

Add tray icon

Add a 'libadwaita' tag/topic in about section

It makes it easier to search apps made in libadwaita, by just going to libadwaita topic. Maybe add the libadwaita topic/tag in 'About' section in github?

Password isn't allowed to contain `:`

When trying to connect to a nextcloud account, celeste does not allow me to log in because it states that it cannot allow passwords with the char: :

My nextcloud provider allows passwords with :

Add Google Drive storage type

Support for MEGA cloud?

The MEGAsync desktop app kinda sucks. Is there an easy way to integrate MEGA into the app?

Nautilus Plugin

The official Nextcloud Client has a Nautilus plugin which integrates it a bit more (sharing in right click menu, emblems showing the sync state, ...)

It seems like celeste uses only 1 cpu core

It seems like celeste uses only 1 cpu core when working.

My laptop (CPU: intel 1255u) gets to 85 Celsius when celeste checks if there are any changes in my synced folder. Is this normal?

Add Project Logo

Celeste is not verified by Google

Hello, I've been trying this app to sync files with google drive and so far, everything is good when sychronizing regular files. (There's a case when dealing with google docs, where Celeste duplicates the Google file into a corresponding Microsoft equivalent). But that aside, I just wanted to let you know that Google says that Celeste hasn't been verified, when trying to log in to google drive from the application, which might raise some red flags for less technical users.

I am hopefully attaching an image of that message by Google. Thank you for this marvelous work, though!

add ability to restrict bandwidth

I have a rather slow connection. I use rclone in various custom/hacky ways to sync with gdrive, and I know there's an option to limit bandwidth.

It'd be great to see that added as a configurable parameter.

Crash and error message after trying to delete folder connection

When removing a synced folder, app crashes with following error:

thread 'main' panicked at 'called `Option::unwrap()` on a `None` value', celeste/src/launch.rs:1399:26
stack backtrace:

When trying to restart the app, this error appears:

thread 'main' panicked at 'called `Result::unwrap()` on an `Err` value: Os { code: 2, kind: NotFound, message: "No such file or directory" }', celeste/src/launch.rs:416:134
stack backtrace:

Deleting /home/me/.var/app/com.hunterwittenborn.Celeste, makes the app start without an error.

Add pCloud storage type

Support encrypting files before sending

There was an issue authenticating to Google Drive

It says rclone.conf was not found and tcp 127.0.0.1 was already in use.

Server Type - Google Drive (School Account)

Add Yandex Disk storage type

verify your app with Google.

Can you please verify your app with Google. So, that we don't get spooky warning.
