Syncthing on Linux

This is a page about »Syncthing on Linux«.

Debian/RaspberryPi (Years ago, probably outdated)

Follow the documentation

Then nano ~/.config/syncthing/config.xml

Find the following

<gui enabled="true" tls="false" debugging="false">
<address>127.0.0.1:8384</address>
<apikey></apikey>
<theme>default</theme>
</gui>

And replace the 127.0.0.1:8384 with 0.0.0.0:8384. Now any machine on the local network can access the program.
Save and Close


Fedora

sudo dnf in syncthing


Make it start on system boot.

To make it a service that can start up on it’s own when turning on the machine
systemctl enable syncthing@[username].service
systemctl start syncthing@[username].service to start it right away
Make sure to replace [username] with your username.


Fix:
If the password for entering the GUI is lost you can delete it in the config file, restart syncthing and problem is solved.
