 ====== Synergy ======
-Project : [[https://github.com/symless/synergy|Github]]
+Project : [[https://github.com/symless/synergy-core.git|Github]]
+:!: Barrier / Opensource forked from 1.x after it became paid.
+Project : [[https://github.com/debauchee/barrier|Barrier]]
+==== Installation ====
+:!: Since version 2.x there is GUI for synergy available and there is no hm.sh script in source.\\
+I've chose to use 2.x since it uses openssl to secure connection. \\
+=== Linux ===
+Most linux distro has package available.
+<code bash | fedora>
+sudo dnf install synergy
+</code>
+=== Mac ===
+<code bash>
+  git clone https://github.com/symless/synergy-core.git
+  git checkout v2.0.0-stable
+  brew update
+  brew upgrade
+  brew info qt
+  export CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH="/usr/local/Cellar/qt/5.10.1/Frameworks/"
+  export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$(brew --prefix openssl)/lib
+  export CPATH=$(brew --prefix openssl)/include
+  export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$(brew --prefix openssl)/lib/pkgconfig
+  mkdir build
+  cmake -DCMAKE_OSX_SYSROOT=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.13.sdk -DCMAKE_OSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.9 -DCMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES=x86_64
+  make
+</code>
+Once building binary is done, Copy files to **~/bin/** so it can be used used within path.\\
+====Post Build====
+=== Server ===
+<code bash>
+  openssl req -x509 -nodes -days 3650 -subj /CN=Synergy -newkey rsa:4096 -keyout ~/.synergy/SSL/Synergy.pem -out ~/.synergy/SSL/Synergy.pem
+  openssl x509 -fingerprint -sha1 -noout -in ~/.synergy/SSL/Synergy.pem > ~/.synergy/SSL/Fingerprints/Local.txt
+  sed -e "s/.*=//" -i ~/.synergy/SSL/Fingerprints/Local.txt
+  cat ~/.synergy/SSL/Fingerprints/Local.txt # This is where you get server key hash
+</code>
+=== Client ===
+Copy server key hash to following file.
+<code text>
+~/Library/Synergy/SSL/Fingerprints/TrustedServers.txt
+</code>
+==== Starting server / client ====
+In my case server is on linux and client is on mac.
+=== Server ===
+== Configuration ==
+<code bash | ~/.synergy.conf>
+# sample synergy configuration file
+#
+# comments begin with the # character and continue to the end of
+# line.  comments may appear anywhere the syntax permits.
+# +-------+  +--------+ +---------+
+# |Laptop |  |Desktop1| |iMac     |
+# |       |  |        | |         |
+# +-------+  +--------+ +---------+
+section: screens
+	# three hosts named:  Laptop, Desktop1, and iMac
+	# These are the nice names of the hosts to make it easy to write the config file
+	# The aliases section below contain the "actual" names of the hosts (their hostnames)
+	desk:
+	mac:
+end
+section: links
+	# iMac is to the right of Desktop1
+	# Laptop is to the left of Desktop1
+	desk:
+	  right = mac
+	# Desktop1 is to the right of Laptop
+	mac:
+	  left = desk
+end
+section: aliases
+	# The "real" name of iMac is John-Smiths-iMac-3.local. If we wanted we could remove this alias and instead use John-Smiths-iMac-3.local everywhere iMac is above. Hopefully it should be easy to see why using an alias is nicer
+	desk:
+	  desk
+	mac:
+	  mac
+end
+</code>
+Now server can be using following command.
+<code bash | start server>
+/usr/bin/synergy-core --server --name desk -c /tmp/Synergy.TJ6658 --address :24800 -c ~/.synergy.conf --enable-drag-drop --enable-crypto --daemon
+</code>
+=== Client ===
+:?: One can also create the alias in bash profile
+<code bash | start client>
+~/bin/synergy-core --client --enable-crypto -n mac desk
+</code>
+==== Autossh ( If do not want to use built-in crytpo library ) ====
+Opensource version of synergy does not support encryption any more.\\
+In order to secure data transmitted over network i use ssh tunnel, they suggest the same on their website.\\
+Best bet is to use autossh, so if you are roaming between location it will auto connect when you are on same network.\\
+**Installation**\\
+<code bash>
+brew install autossh
+</code>
+**Setup Tunnel**\\
+<code bash>
+autossh -f -v -M 24800 -N -R 24800:localhost:22 user@hostname
+</code>
+**Client**\\
+Set ServerIP = 'localhost'
+That should do it.
