What is Alist-Sync?
Alist-Sync is a self-hosted web tool for synchronizing data across Alist storage providers. It provides a browser-based dashboard to create and manage sync tasks in three modes: data sync (directory-level between storage drivers), file sync (explicit path pairs), and file move (copy then delete source). Tasks can be run manually or on cron schedules, with options to keep, move to trash, or delete extra files in the destination. The app stores its configuration and logs in JSON files on a mounted volume, requires no external database, and authenticates users with a built-in username/password system (default admin/admin). It is distributed as a Docker image (xjxjin/alist-sync) and deployed via docker-compose on port 52441. The project is actively maintained with recent releases and supports Qinglong panel integration for scheduled runs.
