Hello there, little one! ๐
CtrlAltOoops
Sure. I have a little home server running Linux and 2 or 3 machines that access files shared by this server. I use Plasma on my desktop machines and I rely a lot on tags (just to clarify, Plasma uses xattrs - more specifically user.xdg.tags) to tag files. On the server I already have a couple of scripts that automatically insert some predefined tags on files.
Thing is when I try to copy and/or move files between server and desktop, depending on the protocol I used to mount the shared, I loose this information.
People suggested rsync, and it would be an excellent option if what I wanted was to keep both sides synchronized or something like that. In fact what I need is just a solution that allow me to mount a server share content and allow me to transfer files from it preserving their extended attributes, preferentially using a file manager (I use basically Dolphin or ranger).
No need to keep then synced.
Hey, thanks for taking the time to reply.
Yep, when I tried using Samba I had these catia:mappings configuration in my smb.conf. Thing is it slightly changes things (two that I specifically remember are ยฟ and ยก ), sometimes doesn't recognizes filenames (don't remember exactly which chars), etc.
I tried to setup Samba, NFS and sshfs. Took a couple of days to understand a little better each one and, by trial and error, have an idea of their perks. I do appreciate your suggestion but I don't think Samba is what I'm looking for.
I'll take a closer look into rsync possibilities and see if it applies to my situation. I appreciate your input.
I appreciate your help, but notice that the article just tell some basics of xattrs usage (I already know how to use it), but has no reference of file transfering files, which is what I need.
Thanks for the suggestion. In fact I tried rsync and it works. But is it possible to integrate in my current workflow? Maybe copying/moving files using a file manager?
I'm asking because with the 3 options I mentioned I may, for example, create mount points in fstab and from this there on everything would be transparent to the user. Would it be possible using rsync?
Supersonic is a pretty nice player indeed.
It's really sad it's not that well integrated in KDE Plasma. I believe it's based on Adwaita, or whatever it's called and it's not as aesthetically pretty as native KDE apps. Also (and I think that is really annoying) it's impossible to maximize / close to the system tray with a single mouse click the way other applications work (Cantata or Elisa, just to name a couple of better integrated Plasma music players).
I've tried several Linux Subsonic compatible music players and Feishin and Supersonic are the best ones.
Btw, besides Navidrome and Jellyfin it also supports lms, that is the streaming server I like most.
