Is n-to-n sharing a bad idea? (lemmy.world)

What I mean by n-to-n sharing is that I have all of my devices sharing the same folder with every other device. This has definitely been a bit of a pain to set up and manage (moreso because a few machines use Docker so they're basically double-NAT'd). My biggest concern is having conflicts out the wazoo and losing data. The most important thing to me is my KeePass vault.

I did this with KeePass today, it should work. Have you had any issues with doing this?

Technically it seems like it should. I've never seen outright sync failures or loops where it would constantly sync. It might lead to excessive conflicts but I've never noticed an issue.

If you have a dedicated server I think a 1-to-many sync is just fine.

That's good. I don't have a server, just syncing All my devices that need it (phone and 2 laptops) hopefully I never have an issue, but I will back up the database regularly just in case
