Now we want to have several servers set up (in different institutions), and have them synchronized automatically.


Synchronization works such that the "client" elogd (the one on which the synchronization is started) "emulates" a browser and accesses the other elogd server. Since SSL is not built into elogd, it can only use the http protocol, not https. If you want secure synchronization, the only chance you have is to make a SSH tunnel on which you run the http protocol for synchronization.



Would it be possible to use rsync to syncronise two elogd servers on different servers via secure synchronization on the file level?
E.g.
rsync -av -e ssh /var/lib/elog/logbooks/ elog.remote.de:/var/lib/elog/logbooks/
