I love Syncthing. It has solved a very important problem for me and keeps me in control of my data instead of some third party that I can't know isn't snooping on my files. I even stood up a relay server to chew up the rest of my server's monthly bandwidth allocation.
I'll plug EteSync. No affiliation, but they do E2EE contact/calendar sync too and it works well. It's also open source/self hostable, but it's also only $2/month to use the hosted version.
I use SyncThing for file syncing and it works splendidly, so I'll have to try this out and see how it compares to EteSync. At first glance, EteSync is simpler
I didn't remember the differences with DAVx⁵ and decSync (that I'm using with syncthing), they're very similar I guess the main difference is what they sync to: webDAV, local, EteSync server?
The only weird step for me is when I restore the LineageOS seedvault backup that already carries the contacts.
I use DAVx⁵ too. It's good for stuff like syncing with Google calendar on a degoogled phone, like if you work at a place that uses gcal. Very different than decsync/EteSync from what I understand.
What issues did you have with one-way photo syncing? I actually do that right now and it works just fine. I set it to send-only from my phone, and after I ingest them into my Immich server, I delete them on my phone and the synced copy gets removed from the server, leaving only the ones ingested into Immich.
It probably helps that it's a manual process. When I ingest stuff into Immich, I make sure that everything is synced properly first. I don't have anything fancy with like ingesting and then deleting photos automatically, I definitely wouldn't trust that. Hopefully Immich declares their photo syncing stable soon and I can switch to that.
