Share and collaborate by syncing with any Git repository instantly. Linux, macOS, and Windows.

SparkleShare

SparkleShare is a file sharing and collaboration app. It works just like Dropbox, and you can run it on your own server. It's available for Linux distributions, macOS, and Windows.

You can support this project through 💕 GitHub Sponsors.

How does it work?

SparkleShare creates a special folder on your computer. You can add remotely hosted folders (or "projects") to this folder. These projects will be automatically kept in sync with both the host and all of your peers when someone adds, removes or edits a file.

Install on Ubuntu or Fedora

You can install the package from your distribution (likely old and not updated often), but we recommend to get our Flatpak with automatic updates to always enjoy the latest and greatest:

flatpak remote-add flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo
flatpak install flathub org.sparkleshare.SparkleShare

Now you can run SparkleShare from the apps menu.

Note: by default SparkleShare uses an AppIndicator status icon on Linux. If you use GNOME on a distribution other than Ubuntu, please install the AppIndicator extension. If you don't use GNOME, you can start SparkleShare with --status-icon=gtk.

Install on macOS

Download the app from the releases page.

Set up a host

Under the hood SparkleShare uses the version control system Git and the large files extension Git LFS, so setting up a host yourself is relatively easy. Using your own host gives you more privacy and control, as well as lots of cheap storage space and higher transfer speeds. We've made a simple script that does the hard work for you. If you need to manage a lot of projects and/or users we recommend hosting a GitLab Community Edition instance.

Build from source

SparkleShare is Free and Open Source software and licensed under the GNU GPLv3 or later. You are welcome to change and redistribute it under certain conditions. Its library Sparkles is licensed under the GNU LGPLv3 or later.

Here are instructions to build SparkleShare on Linux distributions, macOS, and Windows.

sparkleshare's Issues

Doesn't compile due to duplicate code

SparkleShare doesn't compile on mono 2.6 due to some duplicate code in SparkleController.cs

./SparkleController.cs(29,1): warning CS0105: The using directive for System.Net' appeared previously in this namespace ./SparkleController.cs(24,14): (Location of the symbol related to previous warning) ./SparkleLog.cs(474,22): error CS0101: The namespaceSparkleShare' already contains a definition for `ActivityDay'
./SparkleController.cs(1080,22): (Location of the symbol related to previous error)

Removing the code in SparkleController.cs makes everything compile again.

Sparkleshare creates Zombies

Steps to reproduce:
Click on the Sparkleshare icon.
Select click a remote sync folder.

The HDD is working like crazy

Crashes when copying large (10-100 megabyte) files/folders to sync'd folder.

I have a git repo set up on a os x server (git init --bare) then sync'd via sparkleshare to a number of os x clients, however, when I try to copy a large file or set of files sparkleshare fails to sync and often crashes. I would really like to use this as an open source sharing solution is great!

Thanks,
Lyle

Running error

Hi !

I just compiled SparkleShare and I wanted to make it run in local. So I filled the wizard this way :
On my own server : localhost
Folder name : /home/manu/

Then I had a crash and this in the console :

Compilation error

Hi !

I tried to compile SparkleShare (cloned a few minutes ago), I've got this error :

I'm not a CS expert, so feel free to ask me any information :)

Cloning always fails

I'm trying to add a github repo to sparkeshare.

However it won't work. I tried to change the generated clone URL to the one which is displayed by github but it still doesn't work. The ssh key is imported in github.

SparkleShare output:

Include list of compile-time Debian package deps in README

I had to install these dev packages under Ubuntu Maverick to compile:

sudo apt-get install gtk-sharp2 mono-runtime mono-devel monodevelop libndesk-dbus1.0-cil-dev nant libnotify-cil-dev libgtk2.0-cil-dev libwebkit-cil-dev intltool libtool python-nautilus

(grepped configure to find that nautilus-python is needed for nautilus plugin)

NotifySharp not in source tree

When cloning the repo NotifySharp is not inside the source tree. Please add it or use the installed version from the system.

Configureable Push Intervall

If used as a Dropbox replacement it's great to see instant push after changing somthing locally. But when used as an easy way to handle a "normal purpose git repository" it would be great to only push "every hour or so". Otherwise the event log (eg. on GitHub or similar) is polluted with small changes while editing and saving files alot.

Disk Usage

The .git repository is filling up with a huge amount of old data.
From time to time a "git prune" has to be executed to get rid of that stuff.
Furthermore a "git gc --aggressive" would be nice to repack everything.

These two things should be done automatically by the sparkleshare to keep the .git directory nice and clean.

Openssh enter-passphrase dialog pops-up again and again

Hello sparkleshare friends!

I've setup the sparkleshare-beta1 for Linux on a Ubuntu-10.10 box and added a gitorious remote folder. Sparkleshare does the sync very well but doesn't stop propmting me with the OpenSSH enter-passphrase dialog each other 30secs, even if no changes had been made on the folder!.

Is this a real bug?
It's there some workaround to solve this?

Thanks.

Allow SparkleShare to use a Mercurial (hg) backend

Filing this issue on extending SparkleShare to support Mercurial/hg (in addition to git) as its version-control backend.

SparkleIntro will not be shown

In the current sourcecode SparkleUI is created after SparkleController (https://github.com/hbons/SparkleShare/blob/master/SparkleShare/SparkleShare.cs#L87):
Controller = new SparkleController ();
if (!hide_ui){
UI = new SparkleUI ();
UI.Run ();
}

In the SparkleController constructor OnFirstRun is executed (https://github.com/hbons/SparkleShare/blob/master/SparkleShare/SparkleController.cs#L119)

But OnFirstRun is set in the SparkleUI constructor (https://github.com/hbons/SparkleShare/blob/master/SparkleShare/SparkleUI.cs#L56), which is too late.

procedure for hosting my own git repo

Hey there, cannot find anything in the docs about how to host my own repo.
Please advise. Thanks, and great project you have here.

Dock icon in Mac version

Hey! Sparkleshare works fine on the Mac so far - but is it possible to let it run in the background or as a daemon? For now there's the icon in the menu bar and the icon in the Dock. It would be nice to have just the menu icon and not be bothered to have Sparkleshare open as a running app all the time...

Please trow hylke mac out of the window.

So he'll focus on linux version development once again! :-)

hosting sparkleshare on own server

Do you have a bit more info on configuring a server to work with sparkleshare? I see the option is there in the mac beta, but it doesn't seem to take the same ssh:// form the Git and other options do.
Thx!
=edit=
sorry, I just saw a related post, so I should rephrase: any updates on hosting a sparkleshare server?

ssh stuff again

lapo: ssh-agent mono /usr/lib/sparkleshare/SparkleShare.exe
[12:19] hbons: you have to use the command i mentioned above ^
[12:19] hbons: yes
[12:19] lapo: ok, let's see
[12:20] hbons: otherwise it will try to add your default key
[12:20] lapo: ok, syncing
[12:21] hbons: good. will fix this today in master
[12:21] lapo: "Are you sure it's not coffee o'clock?"
[12:21] lapo: what's the huge ugly thing at the right of the text?
[12:22] lapo: a huge progressbar?
[12:22] hbons: i'll check whether there are already keys added. and only start a new ssh-agent if your default key is not unlocked yet. sound good?

initial cloning error

After adding new sync folder via gui I have this error:

In GUI i have these values:

System.NullReferenceException with own Git Repo

I installed the new MacOS Beta 0.2 with a git repo on my own server (I used the information on hukl's site you mentioned). The problem is, after restarting the application, this exception is raised:

Sparkleshare / Git is not transferring files

I installed beta 2 of the Mac version of SparkleShare using a self-hosted git repository.
Unfortunately, when I add files in the local repository the changes get synced but every file which is added to the local repo is shown at the server as deleted:

git@backup:/var/sparkleshare$ git status

On branch master

Changes to be committed:

(use "git reset HEAD ..." to unstage)

deleted: testfile

deleted: testfile2

However I did not delete any of these in local dir - they are still present.
If I do an "git pull" in my local repository git says "Already up-to-date."

In the log I found the following message:

Am I doing anything wrong?

Cloning failed because ssh key not used?

Hi,
I am experiencing the following problem: When I try to sync with my own git-server, which I specified as
server address: [email protected]
folder name: /home/username/sparkle.git/
I get the following error
[email protected]'s password:
[email protected]'s password:
[email protected]'s password:
[09:42:06][Git] Exit code 128
[09:42:06][Git][/home/username/SparkleShare/.tmp/sparkle] Cloning failed

However, when I do "ssh [email protected]" on the command line I can log without password, as I have my public ssh key on the server.

when closing a log window, the other open ones are arranged to front

Uninformative error message

Hello,

Firstly, thank you for your work on SparkleShare. I do appreciate your efforts.

I'm trying to set up syncing using either GitHub or Gitorious. I'm using SparkleShare 0.2-beta1 on Ubuntu Maverick. I've followed the instructions at http://sparkleshare.org/documentation.php#2.2

Using both of these services, I get the same error after pushing the Sync button: "Something went wrong..."

Is it possible to extract a bit more information from SparkleShare about what, exactly, might have gone wrong, and what I can do about it?

Thanks,

John

incorrect permissions on ~/.ssh/config

SparkleShare insists that there is a config file in .ssh and creates it if it doesn't exist (or if I delete it). But it makes it g=rw and o=r so ssh essentially stops working. Even thought it's blank, if I delete it sparkleshare re-creates it. Have to chmod (go-rw) to make ssh/scp and git and sparkleshare work again.

Bad owner or permissions on /home/blr/.ssh/config

I'm on Fedora 14 x86_64 with SELinux disabled

Mac build keeps disconnecting and polling for bitlbee over SSH

With the current Mac binary, SparkleShare is trying to connect to a (non-existent) IRC daemon bitlbee on my server several times per second, and drops its SSH connection each time. On the Mac end, I would get a continuous cycle of:

20/02/11 4:37:22 PM [0x0-0x3a53a5].org.sparkleshare.sparkleshare[60047] [16:37:22][Irc][personal] Lost connection. Falling back to polling...

On the Linux end, I get an endless cycle of this in auth.log:

Feb 20 16:37:00 tardis sshd[17758]: Accepted publickey for terminus from 118.107.224.16 port 61686 ssh2
Feb 20 16:37:00 tardis sshd[17818]: pam_unix(ssh:session): session opened for user terminus by (uid=0)
Feb 20 16:37:00 tardis sshd[17792]: pam_unix(ssh:session): session closed for user terminus
Feb 20 16:37:00 tardis sshd[17763]: Accepted publickey for terminus from 118.107.224.16 port 61688 ssh2

And this in daemon.log:

Feb 20 16:39:45 tardis inetd[26315]: getpwnam: bitlbee: No such user
Feb 20 16:39:47 tardis inetd[26340]: getpwnam: bitlbee: No such user
Feb 20 16:39:49 tardis inetd[26358]: getpwnam: bitlbee: No such user
Feb 20 16:39:52 tardis inetd[26373]: getpwnam: bitlbee: No such user...

So despite that there is no mention of bitlbee in the source code, the binary is trying to do something with bitlbee on my system. This is extremely worrying. Also the constant SSH connections are using up resources and creating unnecessary network traffic.

A workaround for this, by the way, is to install bitlbee on the server.

Project is vapourware

Project seems to suffer not actually producing anything useful. Can be reproduced by creating empty tarball.

Allow SparkleShare to use a Subversion backend

In addition to git, a subversion backend might be desired as well.
