Hi All,
I’d like some advice on setting up Syncthing for multiple users. Whilst I realse Syncthing doesn’t actually have native “multi-user” support, please hear me out… (As I think Syncthing is probably the best tool for the job):
What I have:
- A centralised NAS on the local network (LAN)
- Multiple devices (wife myself, etc)
What I want:
- Syncthing on each device
- Syncthing on NAS
- Sync files/folders between each device/user <-> NAS
I probably have to run a Syncthing daemon/instance per user on the NAS right? And point each instance to /some/path/user/Sync – Then provide the Device ID of said instance to each device/user.
Does this sound about right? Does this sound like a reasonable multi-user setup?
Ultimately this makes (if this will work nicely) backing up important data (Documents, etc) much easier as I can just focus on backing up one dataset (Sync) on the NAS.
Kind regards
James
