EdgeSync is a NATS-native sync engine for Fossil SCM repositories. Leaf agents exchange blobs and notifications over NATS messaging — with optional bridge mode for talking to unmodified Fossil servers over HTTP.
What you'll find here
- Quickstart — install the binary and stand up a two-node mesh in five minutes.
- Concepts — the leaf agent, bridge, NATS mesh roles, iroh tunneling, and notify messaging.
- Architecture — how the leaf agent embeds NATS and libfossil, the role-based topology, and the sync wire protocol.
- Deployment — running EdgeSync on a VPS with Docker Compose, Tailscale, and Cloudflare Tunnel.
- Notify — bidirectional messaging for human-in-the-loop AI workflows: project-scoped subjects, threads, and the conversation model.
