clipshare

A program for sharing data between clipboards on multiple devices.

Configuration

Networking

Ensure the devices are on the same network. E.g. Connected to the same WiFi, sharing the same hotspot, etc.

To ensure proper communication between devices, you'll need to configure the subnet mask. Below is the configuration format:

[NETWORK]
SUBNET_MASK=/24

The program uses a default subnet mask of /24, which is suitable for most private networks.

If the program fails to run or raises network-specific errors, adjusting the subnet mask according to your network settings may resolve the issue. If problems persist, please feel free to raise an issue for assistance.
