What is lsyncd?
Lsyncd actively watches local file systems for modifications using filesystem event interfaces, then automatically copies those changes to remote systems. It supports rsync and rsync+ssh as synchronization protocols and offers customization through configuration files and Lua scripting.

The Vioscale score: one lens on the evidence
Not user reviews and not a paid placement: a confidence-weighted blend of the independent signals below (adoption, activity, security posture, and more), which you can sort and re-weight yourself. Vendors can correct their listing but can never move their rank, and stars are weighted low as a vanity metric. It is one way to read the evidence for lsyncd, not the verdict.
