I used to rely on keybase to pass around docs among devices. I don't believe keybase has been maintained for some time now and the file transfer seems to have stopped working.

In comes #Syncthing, which I've used for various things over the years. I now have multiple devices syncing through an encrypted and self-hosted server and passing docs around works really well.

One thing I don't like to rely on are the shared Syncthing discovery servers, so I configured Syncthing to run without using them.

Also, the docs weren't quite clear on how to config encryption so all docs are stored encrypted on the central server, while being decrypted by the remote devices. I finally figured it out. While not intuitive it is quite easy to do now that I understand how to do it.

Would anyone be interested in me further documenting this use case?
