Clipboard sync

Syncs the clipboard over multiple machines and operating systems.

Create seeds for the docker-compose file

make create-seeds

Add the resulting lines to the .env

Create a credentials file

make create-credentials

Usage in corporate networks

In many corporate networks, the clipboard sync will not work out of the box. This is because the nats server is not reachable.

As secure way - without using a local VPN - is to use a ssh tunnel in the browser.

The approach will use

• tailscale on the local machine
  • on this run the docker-compose from github.com/mheers/docker-ssh-server
  • exec into the container as client and run screen -S shared
• https://webvm.io on the corporate machine
  • in this connect to tailscale
  • in this connect to the ssh server using client:client as user:password and 2244 as port
  • in this run screen -x shared

TODO

• directly read the .creds file
• add a way to specify the nats server
• sync keyboard directly
• use headless chrome to sync the clipboard
