Build your own private, encrypted, open-source Dropbox-esque sync folder

Prerequisites:

One or more clients running a UNIX-like OS. Examples are given for Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, although all software components are available for other platforms as well (e.g. OS X). YMMV
A cheap Ubuntu 12.04 VPS with storage. I recommend Backupsy, they offer 250GB storage for $5/month. Ask Google for coupon codes.

Software components used:

	# Basic key operators to query the JSON objects :

	# #> : Get the JSON object at that path (if you need to do something fancy)
	# -> : Get the JSON object at that path (if you don't)
	# ->> : Get the JSON object at that path as text
	# {obj, n} : Get the nth item in that object

	== Rules ==
	On Infrastructure
	-----------------
	There is one system, not a collection of systems.
	The desired state of the system should be a known quantity.
	The "known quantity" must be machine parseable.
	The actual state of the system must self-correct to the desired state.
	The only authoritative source for the actual state of the system is the system.
	The entire system must be deployable using source media and text files.
