syncthing - not working on android 9

Hello everyone,

i installed syncthing on my Nokia 6.2 with AndroidOne (which is the same as Android 9) from google play. I started syncing files but the didn’t work. I finally tested a plain-text file and the phone writes just nonsense in the file on the receiving phone. Looks like encrypted or something like that.

I turned of compression of data and metadata but it didn’t help. Syncing between all other nodes works fine.

I also uploaded a from the android into a folder, it is correctly transmitted to a windows system.

Any ideas on how to fix this ?

Syncthing instances do not find each other on the local network when global discovery is disabled

Syncthing is not found when global discovery is disabled It seems that my syncthing on the laptop doesn’t find my syncthing on the computer if the global find is switched off for laptop syncthing. The port is the same for both. Both machines are running Linux Mint and Syncthing GTK and they are on the same network and the port is the same. If global discovery is turned on, this is not a problem.

After adding a device ID to config.xml how can I share a folder by editing config.xml?

So I figured out how to add a Device ID to config.xml and it shows up in the terminal output.

But I also want to share a folder from device A to device B by editing the config.xml file on device A. It’s reached by SSH so I don’t have a GUI.

How should the config.xml folder element look like to make me receive a request on device B that device A wants to share a folder with me (the usual behaviour)?

Client mode et network options

Hello,

I use syncthing since 1 month, and I’m looking for a good parameters to my own syncthing network :wink:

I have one syncthing “server” which get all datas to backup it and they are 4 network options (NAT, global and local discovery, and relaying) and I would to configure correctly my clients, with only clients settings, without enabled all network options, but I don’t find the good settings. For informations, I want to sync only when I’m at my home for my phone and from everywhere with my laptop. Do you have a informations, more than the syncthing doc website, about this options ? This my understanding :

  • NAT : only if you want device, on the internet network, wants to sync with you.
  • global discovery : enabled to add device from internet to sync with you, without to manually add on your conf.
  • local discovery : enabled to add device from LAN to sync with you, without to manually add on your conf.
  • Relaying enabled : To become a relay ?

Thank you !

"Unknown-dev" Docker on Raspberry

Hello,

I installed syncthing on my raspberry, but the ARM image doesn’t exist. It’s not a problem, because, with the dockerfile available on github, I built my syncthing docker, but the version don’t display it on my homepage. But, when I want to sync with devices, my local syncthing tell me the “destination” syncthing doesn’t have a good version to work well.

I tried to add a tag in my docker when I built it, but it’s the same.

Do you know if it’s possible to force the version number or how is it possible to add in synchting ?

Thank you !

Was able to install on Windows 7 and 10 and the computers traded passwords. The instructions said that after moving folders into the Sync folder, the “reset” should be clicked. Where is the “reset”? Are the directions out of date?

ignoreDelete and recreating files

@zaphod wrote:

Hi,

I turned on ignoreDelete for a folder and I see some behavior that seems very undesirable. I have two PC’s (PC1 and PC2) with a shared folder. This is use case:

PC1: -ignoreDelete=yes

PC2: -ignoreDelete=no

PC1: -Create a file test.txt with some content

PC2: -File shows up fine

PC2: -Delete test.txt

PC1: -File not deleted (as expected)

PC2: -Recreate test.txt with different content

Expected behavior: -Conflict

Actual behavior: -PC1 test.txt overwritten by contents of file from PC2

Thanks!

SyncThing Relay Profiling

@samuelmartinucci wrote:

I was wondering if someone has ever profiled SyncThing relay server and have recommendations on the configurations to play with to achieve the optimal results for locally deployed Relay/Discovery and peer inside of the relay network + internet peer.

To me, the ones that called my attention are the ones related to NAT resolution and message timeout, but how do they impact performance directly?

I have syncthing installed in 5 machines. One of the them is the master one in the sense that all the other connect to it, but not amongst each other. So, the master machine is a hub. Once a file is changed in any of the other machines, it is first replicated on the master machine and from there to the others.

Now, sync last last update (1.3.1), the master machine broadcasts a “version.txt” file each 5 minutes.

file names lingering forever

@FernandoCabral wrote:

In some situations it seems some file name may linger forever, even the files do not exist anymore. Image bellow exemplifies a case. None of the named files exist anymore. Removed long ago. But they appear as pending sync. How can I clean this up?

Perhaps there is a file I can edit and remove the references?

Regarding Send Only / Receive Only

@arretx wrote:

I have a folder on my Mac ~/Username/Pictures. It contains a mish mash of usable information and garbage (like mobile device photos that are simply notes.)

That folder is in a send/receive state and syncs with a folder on my Ubuntu server to keep a backup of all files in this folder.

Under ~/Username/Pictures, I have a folder called “Send to Plex” It is ignored by the previous sync setup.

Whenever I find an image in my Pictures folder that I find that I’d like to include in my media server, I drag it into the “Send to Plex” folder. The intention is to have that file automatically copied to the Plex folder for the Plex library I’ve created. Then, I would delete it from my Mac permanently. Subsequent backup routines would protect it from loss at the server level.

I’m wondering if Syncthing is the wrong tool for this since there seems to be some added risk of reverting or overriding file states on folders that are set to Send Only or Receive Only.

Logic would say, set the Mac folder to Send Only and the Ubuntu Plex folder to Receive Only, but it seems that’s not actually the intent.

Would it make sense to use a different type of routine to accomplish what I’m trying to do? I could simply drop the keepers into the SMB share on the server, but I’m not always on the network where the server is located.

Thanks for the insight if you have any.

How to sync a file from one machine to another one time only?

@fido wrote:

I am currently using Syncthing to share data one way: send from a folder on a server and receive in a folder on a local machine. Once the file(s) has downloaded I run scripts on the local machine to move it to another location for archiving purposes. After moving the local copy I’d like to continue to keep the files on the server without having syncthing automatically redownload them again. Does anyone have any suggestions for how I might go about doing that? Specifically, how might I use synching to sync a file(s) located on the server to my local machine only one time (even if it’s removed from the local machine after it’s downloaded)? Thanks!!

Help w/ Solaris - no logs, web GUI inaccessible via service

Hello everyone,

I have syncthing working moderately well on my Windows, Linux, and Android platforms

Tried to set it up on OmniOS file server, which is a great OS for AD file server, but a little tricky to get other things to work sometimes

Services are started with svcadm, kind of like systemctl, but svc files are quite a bit different and in xml format

Here’s my current syncthing.xml:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE service_bundle SYSTEM "/usr/share/lib/xml/dtd/service_bundle.dtd.1">
<service_bundle type="manifest" name="syncthing">
<service name="site/syncthing" type="service" version="1">

<single_instance/>

<dependency name="network" grouping="require_all" restart_on="error" type="service">
<service_fmri value="svc:/milestone/network:default"/>
</dependency>

<dependency name="filesystem" grouping="require_all" restart_on="error" type="service">
 <service_fmri value="svc:/system/filesystem/local"/>
</dependency>

<method_context>
<method_credential user="synctg" group="users"/>
</method_context>

</exec_method>
<exec_method type="method" name="stop" exec=":kill" timeout_seconds="60"/>

<property_group name="startd" type="framework">

</property_group>

<template>
<common_name>
<loctext xml:lang="C">
Syncthing
</loctext>
</common_name>
</template>
</service>
</service_bundle>

The two issues I’m having are:

  1. When started as a service with the above xml file using svcadm the web GUI is not accessible. If I invoke syncthing at the command prompt as the synctg user, web GUI works just fine.

  2. I can’t locate any log files, and syncthing -paths doesn’t show any log location.

Does anyone have any idea how I can rectify these two issues?

Thanks :smiley:

LAN sync, authentication to HTTP proxy and Syncthing updates

@piwi82 wrote:

Hi there ! (I am just a French frog writing bad English)

Is there a way to get Syncthing update automatically when then only internet access is a HTTP proxy ?

I am planning to use Syncthing to sync ~60.000 static documents (~8GB of datasheets and pictures) across over 60 laptops used by our sales teams. These devices will sync locally (same subnet) so I disabled global announcing and relaying. Their only access to the internet is available through a HTTP proxy requiring basic authentication (this proxy is not needed by Syncthing to work locally).

The issue : Syncthing doesn’t update automatically. I think I found how to configure Syncthing to use a HTTP proxy (I set the system environment variable all_proxy to http://proxy.domain.local:8080) but I don’t know how to provide credentials required by the HTTP proxy. Should I use the syntax http://user:password@host:port ? (which I don’t like much)

Syncthing Version: v1.3.2 OS Version: Windows 10 1903 (10.0.18362.449)

I have a couple of added folders to Syncthing. Everything is working fine, but .stversions folder appeared only in one of the shared folders.

I have tried to enable/disable different File versioning options and restart Syncthing. But File versioning still does not work.

Local network sync setting for folders

@Worper1997 wrote:

Hi I have searched the syncthing forums and it seems many people can use from this feature: A per folder setting which only syncing when both computers are connected to the same wifi network. I have multiple devices which might connect to multiple networks and have access to internet(Metered DSL) and I don’t want the syncthing to sync these folders over the internet. This should be easy as I only want the sync to happen when the devices have the same IP range.

Thank you

folder path missing when using UnionFS folder or SharedFolder?

@rjwonder wrote:

I’m running the latest Syncthing version in Docker and have an issue when adding the ‘combined volume’.

My photo’s folder (NAS running OMV) is split over 2 hard drives because of UnionFS.

  • /srv/67f0b5b0-cdaf-454d-af77-91d551d2bfa3/Photos/2018:/photos2018test1
  • /sharedfolders/Photos/2018:/photos2018test2
  • /srv/dev-disk-by-label-INT8TB/Photos/2018:/photos2018test3

Only the 3rd test works, but that means that I will only have 1 hard drive added. I’d like to add the sharedfolder. Am I missing something or is this a known limitation?

Note: when opening the Docker console I can actually see the folders and their contents. When using “add folder” in synthing GUI, I can only see photos2018test3 as possibility

Syncing percentage out of scale

@prezzz wrote:

Hi, as you can see in the attachment I’ve a problem with the syncing percentage (the transfering works fine). I use syncthing to move files through several queues, with “queue” I mean a folder “out_1” from the main server that is replicated to the “server_1”, folder “out_2” replicated to the “server_2” and so on (“one server” to “many servers”). After the files reach the destination servers they are consumed and deleted (and syncthinc moves them to the .stversion of the main server). Sometimes the percentage goes over 100% and the remaining bytes are negative, do you have any idea? Thank you very much for the support. Anto
