Let’s assume I have a software application with millions of files. The files receive frequent updates.

Is there a way to distribute those updates across all those devices?

I’m thinking something like Torrents/IPFS/Resilio. . . But they all seem like overkill.

I’ve been looking at my Search Engine, and thought it would be cool to allow people to download the database themselves, and run a local UI, for maximum privacy.

I would just be creating records within the main database. I could offer searches through the main site and allow people to explore it on their desktops.

    if there’s not so many devices just rsync or something similar from one central server

    if there’s a large number of devices i’d try torrent
