![]() ![]() The project also provides the Syncthing Discovery Server program for hosting one's own discovery servers, which can be used alongside or as a replacement for the public servers. Infrastructure ĭevice discovery is achieved via publicly-accessible discovery servers hosted by the project developers, local (LAN) discovery via broadcast messages, device history and static host name/addressing. ![]() Moving and renaming files and folders is handled efficiently, with Syncthing intelligently processing these operations rather than re-downloading data from scratch. Two different SHA256 hash implementations are currently supported, the faster of which is used dynamically after a brief benchmark on startup. Syncthing offers send-only and receive-only folder types where updates from remote devices are not processed, various types of file versioning (trash can, simple or staggered versioning, and handing versioning to an external program or script) and file/path ignore patterns. GUI Wrappers can use these files to present the user with a method of resolving conflicts without having to resort to manual file handling.Įfficient syncing is achieved via compression of metadata or all transfer data, block re-use and lightweight scanning for changed files, once a full hash has been computed and saved. Ĭonflicts are handled with the older file being renamed with a "sync-conflict" suffix (along with time and date stamp), enabling the user to decide how to manage two or more files of the same name that have been changed between synching. All data, whether transferred directly between devices or via relays, is encrypted using TLS. Devices that connect to each other require explicit approval (unless using the Introducer feature) which increases the security of the mesh. It supports IPv6 and, for those on IPv4 networks, NAT punching and relay. It is a BYO cloud model where users provide the hardware it runs on. Syncthing is written in Go and implements its own, equally free Block Exchange Protocol. Data security and data safety are built into its design. It can sync files between devices on a local network, or between remote devices over the Internet. ![]() Syncthing is a free, open-source peer-to-peer file synchronization application available for Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, Solaris, Darwin, and BSD. The following screenshot shows, how to find out the ip-address of syncthing.English, German, Greek, Spanish, French, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Swedish, Norwegian Now it’s time to open syncthing and configure it. Then enter the following command the get the permissions right: To manually create the directories, enter the jail, then you can create directories with the following command: If the destination addresses in the jails do not exist, tick the “Create directory”-box. The destinations are directories in the jails that get mapped to the storages outside the jails. If you did not create a dataset before, you either have to do this now or create normal directories as sources with mkdir on the server. The source is the storage or dataset you created in the first place. You’ll then have to enter the source and destination addresses. To add the storage, go to Jails, click the plus next to the plugin, open the “Storage” tab and click “Add storage”. Since jails are separate systems in the server-OS itself, they cannot by default access other parts of your system. Now we’ll have to add the dataset to the syncthing-plugin, so it can access the storage. To connect to them, enter “jexec # tcsh” where # is the number of the ~# jls To enter the syncthong, type “jls” on the command-line. ![]() If Putty cannot connect, you probably didn’t use the correct IP-address or you forgot to enable SSH. Tick the box that says “Set permission recursively” so all other folders and files in the volume will have the same permissions. There, set the Owner (user) to “nobody”, the Owner (group) to “nogroup” and activate all buttons in the mode. To change permissions, click on the “Storage” tab, select the volume you want to edit and click the first button in the bottom line that displays hard disks and a key. You should only do this, if you trust the users of your network. The best way is to set the ownership of the storage to nobody and give read/write/execute permissions to everybody. Since there probably many users and computers, that want sync their data to your storage, you’ll have to configure the permissions for it. You can ignore all other options for now, as they are for advanced users. There, set the name for the dataset (e.g. To create a dataset click on your created storage, then hit the “Create dataset”-button (the one that looks like an excel-document with a plus). ![]()
