I don’t quite understand how syncthing determines which version of a file is the “best”.
Could someone please explain that to me?
And does it in any way depend on synchronized clocks?
What I want is to sync a desktop, a laptop and a phone via an OpenWrt-router.
Most of the time the router is connected to the internet and receives it’s time via ntp, but sometimes it’s not, resulting in a random time on the device.
Syncthing doesn’t care about the clock time. It cares about the order changes are detected and announced to the cluster. Generally speaking, the last changed one is the best.
