Installing Syncthing
Really, Syncthing is more of a peer-to-peer thing. So the server & client are the same thing. Which it is depends on how you're using it.
Linux (LMDE6)
Add the release PGP keys:
sudo mkdir -p /etc/apt/keyringssudo curl -L -o /etc/apt/keyrings/syncthing-archive-keyring.gpg https://syncthing.net/release-key.gpg
Add the "stable" channel to your APT sources:
echo "deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/syncthing-archive-keyring.gpg] https://apt.syncthing.net/ syncthing stable" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/syncthing.list
Update and install syncthing:
sudo apt-get updatesudo apt-get install syncthing
If you need access to the UI from anywhere on your network other than localhost:
vi ~/.local/state/syncthing/config.xml- Change <address> inside <gui> from 0.0.0.0:8384 to 0.0.0.0:8384 (line 55)
- (Note, this file won't actually exist until the first time you run Syncthing MANUALLY...)
To manually start it
syncthing
Set up as a SYSTEM service
This means Syncthing will always run when the machine is running.
Based on configuring it for a regular user.
(Replace “myuser” with the actual Syncthing user after the @:)
sudo systemctl enable syncthing@myuser.servicesudo systemctl start syncthing@myuser.service
Set up as a USER service
This means Syncthing will start when the user logs into the machine.
systemctl --user enable syncthing.servicesystemctl --user start syncthing.service
(oddly, while this shuts down Syncthing when you log out after connecting via SSH, it doesn't seem to shut it down if you log out of the GUI...)
Android
Pretty simple, search for Syncthing in the Play Store (or through F-Droid).
Windows
Syncthing Windows Setup: a lightweight yet full-featured Windows installer
macOS
syncthing-macos: macOS application bundle
Synology NAS
Open Package Center
Click Settings and click Package Sources
Add a source
Put SynoCommunity in the NAME box and https://packages.synocommunity.com/ in the SOURCE box
Click OK
There will now be a Community tab in the left pane
Click that and find the Syncthing package and install it
To Be Done
- figure out proper TLS
- figure out multi-user
- correct NAT/firewall settings
