Your private cloud should come with visible code
LynavoDrive opens its local core, including photo backup, LAN file access, device discovery and connection, device management, sync history, and access history. The open-source edition requires no LynavoDrive account and does not include official remote-access code.

Why open source
Transparency belongs in a private-data product
Open code makes data storage, device connections, and permission behavior inspectable. Users can preserve a version, build it themselves, and participate through issues and documentation feedback.
Control it
Build and maintain the local edition without an official account.
Participate
Contribute bug reports, proposals, security reports, and documentation feedback.
