UnisonCTRL makes it easier to sync large mostly-read-only datasets with unison by spawning multiple unison instances ("threads"). Using the unisonctrl configuration file, instances can be tuned so that each unison instance is only responsible for a specific subset of the data, allowing large datasets to be synced efficently. Additionally, using this technique, an administrator can split up hot-data into smaller groups (allowing faster syncing) and colder data into larger groups (allowing slower syncing with less resources).
To run, execute python3 unisonctrl/unisonctrl.py. This is designed to be run in cron, once per minute.
- Get webhooks working for reporting and monitoring
- Number of new/existing instances
- Instance information
- Report on unknown dead instances - this is important
- Turn into a proper terminal tool with options, like force restart all, and get stats
