Hello everyone!

I’ve been a long time lurker but I finally decided to register an account and join the community . I also thought I’d try tinkering with development, which is where I’ve got stuck.

I’m trying to build Syncthing by following the instructions in the docs, however when building I only get this output:

C:\Users\...\Documents\Syncthing\syncthing-sadphi>go run build.go
Warning: Windows binaries will not have file information encoded: failed to create C:\Users\...\Documents\Syncthing\syncthing-sadphi\cmd\syncthing\resource.syso: exec: "goversioninfo": executable file not found in %PATH%
github.com/DataDog/zstd
# github.com/DataDog/zstd
exec: "gcc": executable file not found in %PATH%
exit status 2
exit status 1

A few months ago I was testing around and built Syncthing the exact same way on this machine, but this time it doesn’t work. I found this thread which said to download TDM-GCC, but that didn’t work. I have also tried updating go.

I currently run go version go1.14.4 windows/amd64

Thanks,

sadphi

I am finally replacing my old OnePlus 3T with a new Note 10+, and having the devil of a time installing Syncthing and Syncthing-fork. I have the same problems with both.

• The install wants to use the DCIM dir and calls it “Camera …” something. I delete that and create a new folder called “Default Folder” and named in the file system as “Sync”. Both are at /Storage/emulated/0/. I do not have an SD card in the phone.

• I begin the initialization by changing the device name, allowing operation with mobile data, and a few other option changes.

• I create the new Sync / Default Folder with no devices.

• I edit the default folder to add a computer device using the camera. It doesn’t get the name, so I enter that manually, then enable “Default Folder”. Several times the two Linux laptops (but never the Mac laptop) have popped up a request on the browser (which is running the Syncthing web page) to add “Default Folder” from the Note 10+, and I have learned the hard way that if I click Yes, the Note 10+ ends up with two “Deafult Folder” folders, with just the one Sync dir, but it has a duplicate “.stfolder (1)” dir, so now I just click “Ignore”.

I have two Linux laptops and one ancient Mac all connected, plus the old OnePlus 3T phone. They all know about the Note 10+. It knows about all them. The Note 10+ says all are up to date. All laptops and the old phone say the Note 10+ is “Syncing (0%, 5.12 GiB)” and they’ve been like that for an hour or more. I’ve tried de-installing Syncthing on the Note 10+, re-installing, reconfiguring from scratch, and I cannot get the phone to actually transfer any files. The three laptops and the old phone update with each other fine.

Everything looks fine …e xcept no file transfers to the Note 10+. Like it’s paused, but the “Pause Folder” toggle is off and greyed out. The four devices also have a greyed out “Pause Device” toggle. None are introducers.

The Note 10+ “DEVICES” tab aperiodically switches the four devices between “Disconnected” and “Up to Date”, and they seem to change their status of the Note 10+ accordingly, between “Syncing (0%, 5.12 Gib)” and “Disconnect”. These statuses don’t change very often.

ETA that I just saw one of the laptops change status from “Disconnected” to “Up to Date” / “Syncing (0%, 5.12 GiB)”.

How to setup base uri for syncthing web GUI

I have read the setup guide, and my configuration in /etc/apache2/sites-available/default-ssl.conf:

ProxyPass "/syncthing/" "http://localhost:8384/"
<Location /syncthing/>
    ProxyPassReverse "http://localhost:8384/"
    Require all granted
</Location>

It almost works and I can access the webgui, but many functions on this page does not work at all(eg: settings page cannot be called out). The problem disappears when I directly access via IP:8384

I guess the problem may come from the NextCloud, which contains a lot of re-write rules, also I opened the pretty url function.

There are many other services on my NAS, which all support base uri, and they work fine using the apache2 config:

#base uri: /jellyfin
ProxyPass "/jellyfin" "http://localhost:8096/jellyfin"
ProxyPassReverse "/jellyfin" "http://localhost:8096/jellyfin

#base uri: /transmission
ProxyPass "/transmission" "http://localhost:9091/transmission"
ProxyPassReverse "/transmission" "http://localhost:9091/transmission"

Then my jellyfin and transmission server could be accessed via: https://www.domain.com/jellyfin https://www.domain.com/transmission

And everything works fine for jellyfin and transmission. It there anything I missed or is there any possibility that syncthing web GUI will add base uri function?

DTC Radio link between 2 Synology NAS sync

Dear All,

My current set up is using a radio an IP radio link between two NAS drives, I have 3 syncthing folders to which data is stored on NAS 1 Then synthing is to sync them to the respective folders on NAS 2 All the folders work and data is transferred

2 of my folders take ages to sync. So I stopped them to test the speed, I managed to copy 1.5gb of data across the radio link within 8 mins using one folder within syncthing Now if I try the other folders they seam to be really slow and I’ve been transferring from another folder 30gb of data for the last 12 hours - why is it so slow?

My overall aim is to have several streams of syncthing folder to folder set up so I can transfer data I split the folders so if my data link bandwidth became too congested I could then manually pause folders

Any suggestions or help regarding my issue would be very much appreciated!

Can share more details regarding setup if needed

Regards Tom

Just want to leave it here

The interface (in Windows) is named “Беспроводная сеть” (in Russian), which makes locally-discovered IPv6 address something like [fe80::dead:beef%Беспроводная сеть]:22000 (which is still valid according to IPv6 specifications afaik). This is the default interface name with system language set to Russian, and I’d suppose you can have the same error in Windows (and other OSes) set to other languages as well.

In a Syncthing folder over 200 GB moved a large number of files to another folder using cut and paste. Syncthing took the action as delete and create new files in the other folder. If had dragged and dropped would Syncthing have acted differently? Windows file browser used but sure same logic applies to others.

Hi there, Syncthing noob here. Just installed ST and getting painfully slow speeds. My use case is a bit particular. I want to use it to sync in my local network at home, where I have a WIFI router but no internet connection. (Basically when I bring the thinkpad I take to work with new files and stuff I download there, and want to sync with my macbook at home)

Not sure where I should look into. I’ve set up static IPs on the router for these two machines (Manually Assigned IP around the DHCP List) and used the IPs on the ST configurations of both machines; tried also dynamic but it didn’t help either.

Hi guys,

I would greatly appreciate some help. I have a synology diskstation which was working fine with Synchthing for a while. Interface and control could be better but it was extremely reliable.

But then something went wrong. With a synchthing update I was asked to set new permissions and find the shared folder again. It has never worked again. I want to get rid of it because I cannot risk this happening. But I also need it to start synching again before I do that.

I have a lot of my files but one of the files it should have are from another server in another country.

When they changed the permission it seems to have blocked or deleted all of my files. When I look at the shared folder there is nothing in it at all.

I can see a couple of normal clients and they seem to be updating fine, it is just the synology that seems to have died.

I have read some guides, made sure that the folder has permissions to read and write and that advanced permissions are enabled.

But it not longer appears anywhere. I also have a Drobo 5N but I only use it as a backup to the Synology server and it does not run Synchthing, it is actually easier that way.

Is my data gone? Will I have the same problem if I try and totally reinstall it?

My permissions look like this:

Folder Permissions1122×239 17.6 KB

Any help very much appreciated.

I have two local machines sync’d up completely but one machine’s Syncthing Web UI says Out of Sync Items: 1 items, ~232MiB. The other machine says “Up to Date”. Clicking the “1 items” link pops up an empty list.

Hitting the api on the out-of-sync machine, db/status says “needBytes”: 243591168 and “needFiles”: 1 but db/need lists nothing. The other machine has 0s for need fiels. The localFiles count is the same, but the out-of-sync box has an inSyncFiles value that’s off by 1. Not sure how to find out what that one file is.

The folder is Send/Receive and ignore permissions is on.

I can not find an entire directory. I do not remember if I deleted it or not or if something went wrong. Is there some log to check?

Having a heck of a time.

Installed: SyncThing & NFS Server (only on primary) (So I can quickly transfer video footage) Mounted a drive /dev/sdb to /home/myself/2/extended /dev/sdb on /home/myself/2/extended type ext4 (rw,relatime)

If I drop a file using NFS into the /2/ folder, which is the root of the sync folder, the files show up just fine. If I drop files into /2/extended folder, shows zero files.

So basically, I can use a non-mounted local folder and it works. Syncs all the things. If I use the mounted folder, it does not work. Can’t figure out why.

Trying to sync non normalized files from a Mac, which are on my v1.6.1, Windows (64 bit) to a v1.6.1, Linux (64 bit). Both folders have autoNormalize turned off, but ST is still complaining: “Failed Items 19 items” “item is not in the correct UTF8 normalization form”

also complains in the console: [YXZ] 21:43:12 INFO: Scanner (folder ID-ID, item “2 Dynamik I\Lo¨sung_A ufg_Mofa1.pdf”): normalizing path: item is not in the correct UTF8 normalization form

Shouldn’t it ignore that and sync anyway, because autonormalize is turned off?

Hi everybody,

I’ve been experiencing synchronization problems when my Samsung Galaxy Note 9 is under a 4G network. Everything works fine when connecting to a Wi-Fi network, instead. After several tests I found out that the issue is due to the browser used on the PC. No problem when using either Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox, but the synchronization doesn’t work (or, let’s say, it works 1-2 times out of 10) when Microsoft Edge is set as the default browser. Has anyone else run into the same problem?

Hi all, my FreeBSD syncthing jail keeps acting up, with syncthing running at >100% CPU, and I can’t connect to its GUI (timeout). Below, the snippet of log file before the lockup, the dump I got by kill -QUIT, and the resume log. After kill -QUIT, syncthing seems to have resumed normal operation… but for how long?

I wish I could use it on Windows XP.

We have many pc’s in the company that can only work on Windows XP (because of professional software) and it would be great to be able to use Syncthing on Windows XP …

Can you explain to me how it is possible (and if it is possible)?

Thank you and congratulations for the excellent work.

Thanks.

Has anyone found a way to make syncthing run decently on a chromebook? I’ve tried Linux and Android versions, this sandbox NAT stuff really gets in the way and slows everything greatly… The Android version isn’t stable, Linux seems to work but is very, very slow network wise.

Hi. I run Unraid. I have Syncthing docker container. I have a remote Unraid machine, also running Syncthing, same version. Sometimes, it syncs as soon as I place files on the folder, sometimes, it just don’t start. How can I troubleshoot this? Where do I look?

Dear helpers,

I installed the latest debian64 release of syncthing, but it dies after a few minutes. The following logfiles I got while starting syncthing every minute with cron, if it does not run:

uname -a
Linux www2380 4.19.67-xen-64bit #1 SMP Thu Aug 22 11:33:02 CEST 2019 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Recently I changed the server, but the same error occured under debian32 with the 32 bit release of syncthing, but not as often.

I remember years ago I asked a similar question, and the answer was “xen”, I think. But perhaps this is an other (solvable?) problem meanwhile.

A good workaround is also welcome.

Greetings,

Uwe
