are there any best practice scripts or general wisdom for using rsync or unison as a simple dropbox/drive alternative where you have files/docs on your own server and your computers auto sync to/from it? is there something a bit more advanced (merges or versioning incl? i guess auto backup tool on the server would be enough...) i want to move away from syncthing also, and don't want to use p2p stuff, just simple client/server star architecture.
