Home Sync

Home Sync is multi-device sync without the cloud: a small server you run on your own hardware, with your Vetroscope devices syncing through it. Your data never leaves your network — and it’s still end-to-end encrypted with your encryption key on top, so even the server itself (or anyone who gets hold of it) can’t read your activity.

Product overview: vetroscope.com/home-sync. The server is open source (Apache 2.0): github.com/rankin-works/vetroscope-home-sync.

What you need

• A Vetroscope license (or Pro) — Home Sync is included with the lifetime license, and trials can try it. Every syncing user needs their own license.
• Somewhere always-on to run it: a NAS (Synology, TrueNAS, Unraid), a Raspberry Pi, a home server, or a spare machine. Docker is the easiest path.

How it fits with Vetroscope Cloud

Home Sync and Cloud are both sync targets — use either, or both at the same time. The Home Sync server is completely independent of Vetroscope’s services: no account with us, no telemetry, and it keeps working even if Vetroscope’s own infrastructure is down.

One server also supports multiple users — housemates or a small team can each have their own account on it, with their data kept separate and each protected by their own encryption key.

Setting it up

1. Run the server with Docker — on a NAS or any Docker host — or directly on a machine.
2. Grab the one-time setup code from the server logs.
3. In Vetroscope: Settings → Sync → Add sync target → Home Sync, paste your server’s URL, and follow the wizard.
4. Decide how you’ll reach it away from home — see Remote access and HTTPS.
