rsync for cloudron CLI

[roofboard]

CLI "cloudron sync" to upgrade "push" and "pull"

the Cloudron Push and Cloudron pull commands are limited in functionality especially when pushing and pulling recursively through many directories. Or trying to get special behavior like only transmitting files which have changed.

So the feature request would be to wrap rsync and enable us to use a command like "cloudron sync" with the same options as rsync when moving files to and from the server.

see this post for a detailed use case

• sftp is not enough

I like the idea! I think implementing rsync protocol on our own is out of question. So, we have to figure out someway of reusing the rsync binary to implement this.

I haven't find any obvious solutions for using rsync over tls or https.

Found https://rsync.samba.narkive.com/DFt4GEa9/over-stdin-stdout which has some interesting discussion.
