Sync Profiles between workstations
so I found this great project because I am looking for a way to realize this use case (which seems not to be possible with the elgato software):
I have two (or more) workstations, each with a Stream Deck attached. I want the profiles on the two workstations to sync all changes. So I edit a button on WS1, this change should automatically be mirrored on WS2.
My first idea would be to symlink the "Profiles" Folder of both workstations to the same Folder on a network drive. Would this work? Is there maybe another approach to this?
I'm trying to solve this for macOS first btw. - but eventually also for windows.

So far the profiles are only really manually copyable, as they have to be copied into different folders based on the device ID which will be different as you have different devices
i see. but in theory it should be possible, to share a network folder for all the profiles of all the devices and then there would have to be some kind of automated file copying based on modification date or something. Maybe a cron job?
network infra is not the problem. i didn't know syncthing, sounds cool, thanks!
symlinks work on macos. it's really similar to linux as far as i know (just a lot more restrictions...)
if i understood @ninjadev64 correctly, then this folder will have a different name for each stream deck device, right:
okay, so i would have to sync the contents of these folders with a shared one in the network. (or over the internet)
sounds good, thanks a lot.
yeah, it's for my workplace actually. A radio station with multiple audio edit suites. we have a big nas where we work on.
i think syncing to a folder on this nas would make sense.
It wouldn't break, would just get rid of / add extra buttons
It automatically resizes the array
thanks for all the help and hints. I'm going to try some stuff. If I discover something useful, I will share here.
