Syncthing

Amazing, open and decentralized tool to synchronize your devices.

Beware, as it is decentralized, you need synced devices online in same time window. Or add another device which is always online (aka server) to the mix.

Install

Arch Linux

syncthing latest noaur

First start configuration

First we have to set autostart for Syncthing. It’s probably best to use systemd user service these days.

systemctl --user enable syncthing
systemctl --user start syncthing

After that, just point your browser to http://localhost:8384 and it will guide you through settings.

Setting user and password

It’s really important to set user login and password for GUI. In browser go to settings and then to GUI tab as without it, every other user (or program) on your computer can access Syncthing settings.

Using

Just set everything at http://localhost:8384 and you are done.

Personally, I’m using it i.e. to sync photos from my android phone with syncthingandroid.
