FreeFileSync install on Rockstor?

Trying to install FreeFileSync

The first time I installed in it complained that it needed libXxf86vm1 so I installed it with zypper install libXxf86vm1

Second install I got the following…

I am only posting it here to find out if this is something I should pursue with them to fix or is it something that is going to cause problems for RockStor?

This really seems much simpler than rsync but I don’t know for sure.

I just realized they have the source available to do a ‘make’ but that is sounding like more work too.

I think the challenge will be that Rockstar does not have all the relevant libraries installed that Freefilesync requires. I can see that Tumbleweed offers a package, but not how it will work on a system that does not have a desktop installed.
While there is no Rockon (yet?) for this, you could use a docker container like this one
https://hub.docker.com/r/jlesage/freefilesync
to get it installed without having to muck with requirements or ‘make’ processes?

Or you can take a look at the syncthing Rockon to see whether that can do the job, too.
