 ## Architecture
-You’ll use a single SilverBullet [[Server]] as your central synchronization space, then connect any other instances of SilverBullet (likely primarily [[Mobile]] and [[Desktop]] apps, but could also be other [[Server]] instances) to it. Each “client” instance keeps track of sync snapshots that it uses to figure out what files have changed where.

    * A username and password (optional) if you run the server with the `--user myuser:mypass` flag (as you should)

 ## The sync process
 1. The sync engine compares two file listings: the local one and remote one, and figures out which files have been added, changed and removed on both ends. It uses timestamps to determine changes. Note this doesn’t make any assumptions about clocks being in sync, timezones etc.
