Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

n8n-nodes-rsync

v0.1.4

Published

n8n community nodes to run rsync pull and push operations.

Readme

n8n-nodes-rsync

Run rsync pull and push operations from n8n.

Requirements

The rsync binary must be installed in the n8n container. If using SSH transport, ssh must also be available.

For the official Alpine-based n8n image, install them in a custom image with:

FROM n8nio/n8n:latest

USER root
RUN apk add --no-cache rsync openssh-client
USER node

Credentials

Use n8n's built-in SSH Private Key credential. Password-based SSH is not supported because native rsync/ssh cannot use a password non-interactively without extra tools such as sshpass.

By default, the private key is written to a temporary file while rsync runs, then removed. Passphrase-protected keys are not supported by this node; use an unencrypted deploy key with limited permissions.

The private key can be stored as a normal OpenSSH block, including escaped newlines. The node normalizes it before passing it to native OpenSSH.

Nodes

  • Rsync Pull: Syncs remote -> local.
  • Rsync Push: Syncs local -> remote.

Both nodes expose common rsync options such as archive mode, compression, deletion, dry run, excludes, timeout, binary path, and additional arguments.
