I’m trying to sync a KeePassXC database between my Android phone and my Manjaro Linux system. I want full two-way sync of changes, but I don’t want deletions on one device to remove the file on the other. What’s the best way to configure this? Tools like Syncthing seem close, but I’m not sure which folder settings or ignore rules would prevent deletion sync while still keeping both sides updated. Any guidance or examples would help. Thanks!
It seems like you need backups, so perhaps just add backups?
Also, it could always happen that a bug breaks your file during sync.
Many Keepass clients have support for not actually deleting entries, and instead moving them to a “Trash” subgroup inside the kdb that is ignored when searching entries. Also they usually keep track of the history of changes to each entry, to make it non-destructive.
Coupled with Syncthing typically automatically creating backups whenever it encounters conflicting changes, I feel this should be enough, at least for me personally.
