Alternatives to syncthing for syncing files with android (programming.dev)

With the official app no longer updated (i don't trust the forks), i'm looking for alternatives for 2 way sync between my Android phone and my Linux server. I've tried nextcloud a long time ago and the experience was very bad. Are there any new tools that i can use?

The official, maintained syncthing app is available on Android through the Termux 'pkg' manager.

Just yesterday, I was idly wondering if Termux could be used to run Syncthing instead of using questionable Android apps. Neat to see that it's working, and setting it up just now was as simple as on any other Linux device.

How does it work on the background, do i need to always have a termux session on?
