How can I fix?
I downloaded Syncthing for MacOS (image file Syncthing-1.22.2-1.dmg) and copied Syncthing.app in the Applications folder.
Then I launched it. The icon seats in the menubar and its menu can be opened (items: Running, Open, Folders, Pause All Devices, Rescan All,…).
Unfortunately the “Running”, in a split second, changes itself to “Unavailable”. Its submenu reads “Synthing Service (Stopped)”.
Is it happening because my iMac is too old? System version is MacOSX 10.11, and the hardware doesn’t allow further upgrade.
I’n not a tech guy, but I’m able at least to look at the Console. It shows:
07/01/2023 02:47:34.746 Syncthing[8321]: Launching Syncthing daemon
07/01/2023 02:47:34.894 Syncthing[8321]: Syncthing daemon terminated (exit code 2)
07/01/2023 02:47:34.896 Syncthing[8321]: Delaying daemon startup by 10.0 s
(this cycle repeats again and again every 10 seconds)
So the problem is at a very basic level: no daemon, no GUI, no page at localhost:8384.
Suggestions? Can I check, change, modify files, permissions, preferences in some place in order to fix?
Do you suggest to install an older version of Syncthing, hoping that it could work?
Thanks in advance.
