6 - Syncthing (Headless)

Syncthing (again)

This is mostly the same as the Desktop guide - but with a tiny touch for the headless component.

• Update & Install Syncthing:

sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y syncthing
Copy Code

• make services for the auto-start:

sudo systemctl enable syncthing@jedi.service && \
sudo systemctl start syncthing@jedi.service
Copy Code

• then to make it accessible open config:
  • (top is latest stable)
  • (bottom is for OLDER debian stable)

nano /home/jedi/.local/state/syncthing/config.xml
Copy Code

nano /home/jedi/.config/syncthing/config.xml
Copy Code

• then change url address to
  0.0.0.0:8384
  • instead of the “127.0.0…” default
    
    
• restart service:

sudo systemctl restart syncthing@username.service
Copy Code

first login will warn about username/password - add them
