Orgzly auto syncronisation for sync tools like syncthing. See orgzly/orgzly-android#8.

zREADME.md

Orgzly auto syncronisation is not yet implemented for remote repositories such as local repos synced with, e.g., syncthing. See orgzly/orgzly-android#8. While other scripts proposed in the linked issue fix the problem, I've compressed those into a simple script. The script is meant for use in termux. Install the Termux-boot plugin. Then put the script into ~/.termux/boot. Now it should automatically run all the time after Android startup.

I use the script for the /sdcard/org directory. This is the directory of my local repository. Insert the path you use there.

Nice, this is awesome -- even periodically (e.g every hour) running orgzly_sync (if you don't wanna mess with inotify etc) is already going to massively reduce the chances of a conflict.

Btw I'm not sure

|| termux-notification --content "orgzly sync failed"

is going to work as you expect it to -- am broadcast doesn't receive the result back from orgzly. In fact, even if you make a typo in the broadcast target, it still returns code 0, unfortunately.

Yeah, I'm not sure where I got that from. I guess this could just be removed. (I've removed it)

Turns out that you can even use the Termux-boot plugin. I'm gonna update the readme.

Added instructions on how to use it with orgzly-revived.
