 ====== Synergy ======

+Project : [[https://github.com/symless/synergy-core.git|Github]]
-=== Installation ===
+:!: Barrier / Opensource forked from 1.x after it became paid.
-Due to infrastructure requirement, my mac now has 10.12 SDK and 10.11 MacOS.\\
+Project : [[https://github.com/debauchee/barrier|Barrier]]
-I was able to successfully build Synergy and install on system, but failed to run with following error.
+==== 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

+=== Client ===
+Copy server key hash to following file.
 <code text>
-You have OS X 10.11.6. The application requires OS X 10.12 or later.
+~/Library/Synergy/SSL/Fingerprints/TrustedServers.txt

-Next step for me is to explicitly build app for 10.11 using 10.12 SDK.\\
+==== Starting server / client ====
-As quick fix here is what i changed.
+In my case server is on linux and client is on mac.

 Best bet is to use autossh, so if you are roaming between location it will auto connect when you are on same network.\\
