Hello everyone!
Apologies if I couldn’t find the answer online, I’ve search and I
might not be using the right terms…

I currently have a workflow where I use good sync to upload all my
pictures to my synology NAS. The workflow has different rules based on
the file type / name to create copy the files to a folder on my nas

Ex. Copy all jpeg where name contain « *FS* » and exclude name contain
« *CACOM* »
The app I’ve used so far is called good sync and requires me to have
my computer open to run.

I’ve recently become more familiar with self hosting and I’m running
multiple Docker containers on my NAS.

I’d like to basically change this workflow to offload everything to
the NAS, i would just dump my picture folder on the NAS and let a
docker container do the heavy copying the files on a scheduled run or
file change to the right folder !

Would you know if there is a self hosted app (preferably with a GUI)
aimed specifically at moving files / copying files using rules on the
name / type of the files ? I couldn’t find one !

Thanks !

I think [my project ](https://github.com/Minituff/nautical-backup)
could help you with this. Sorry no, GUI thought, but it should be
pretty straightforward to setup.

You could ask ChatGPT to write a script and a cronjob for you :)

Research about bash scripting. That tasks you described does not need
docker or any type of external software.

A simple bash script will do this easily and schedule it with cronjob
just like others suggested  from my experience chatgpt can write this
easily buy always double check and do dry runs
