syncthing-indicator not finding running syncthing instance #27

Open epe opened 1 year ago

epe commented 1 year ago

Hi! I'm getting this error every 20 seconds: gnome-shell[115898]: [syncthing-indicator-manager:ERROR], Service failed to start, syncthing.service gnome-shell[115898]: error: Syncthing Indicator: daemon-error

Unfortunately I cant find documentation about how the indicator expects synthing to be started?

I have configured syncthing to startup via systemd as described in the syncthing docs. ./systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/syncthing@username.service ./systemd/system/sleep.target.wants/syncthing-resume.service

what can I do to get it working together?

Currently the extension uses the user config for systemd, I'll have a look on howto detect the system wide as well.

In my case I run syncthing as a system service and it's api key is located in /var/lib/syncthing/.config/syncthing/config.xml - not readable by any user. It would have been great if it was possible to specify the API key manually.

I'll also see if I can create a preference section for settings like this. Bare with me though, I'm not having much time to work on this at the moment.
