This WIP is based on setting up on a Debian based LXC.

Links:

Installing Syncthing

Add the release PGP keys:

  • sudo mkdir -p /etc/apt/keyrings
  • sudo 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 update
  • sudo apt-get install syncthing
  • vi ~/.local/state/syncthing/config.xml
    • Change <address> to 0.0.0.0:8384 (line 55)

Set up as a system service

Based on configuring it for a regular user.

(Replace “myuser” with the actual Syncthing user after the @:)

  • systemctl enable syncthing@myuser.service
  • systemctl start syncthing@myuser.service

Client setup

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)

See the installation section above.

Set up as a USER service

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
