I've been working on a spiritual successor to Unison for a few years called Mutagen [1]. It aims to provide more flexible synchronization and tighter integration with filesystem watching, enabling ~real-time remote editing with your local editor of choice. It also adds SSH-style network forwarding, so you can forward network traffic to/from remote systems to access remote applications without exposing ports. It currently supports SSH and Docker containers, but additional transports are coming.

I'd be really happy to receive feedback if you have a chance to try it out!

The name seems to conflict with the Python module (https://mutagen.readthedocs.io/en/latest/), which has been around for a longer time. While you seem to have put in a lot of effort seeing your commit history and search ranking, your first commit is in Nov 2016 - nearly a decade after the other one. Perhaps you should consider rebranding the project, with the greater interest of the FOSS community in mind.

Haven't dug into it yet, but quick Q: does this allow the use case of using a local IDE to interactively develop/run code against a docker environment running in a remote server? (so two "jumps")

That's actually one of the primary use cases at the moment. The way Mutagen works with Docker is by using `docker cp` to inject one of its "agent" binaries into the container and then communicating with that binary over `docker exec`.

You can also orchestrate your setup a bit (e.g. to work with Docker Compose) using Mutagen's new orchestration infrastructure. You can find an example of this at the bottom of the Mutagen homepage: https://mutagen.io
