Paths issue #2

Closed crawfordlong closed 1 year ago

crawfordlong commented 1 year ago

I've gotten Syncthing up and running using your very helpful guide. I'm having an issue when it comes to where files go.

Let's say I map ~/Shared to /SharedData in the config. Using your default permissions (running as root in the container for now).

If I share FROM another machine TO the Silverblue machine, it appears to sync, but I cannot find any files in the ~/Shared and it eventually throws an error that the path isn't found.

For example, if I have a new machine, I want to grab the syncthing share of my ~/Documents folder. So I connect to one of my nodes and, from any of them, share the Documents folder to the new Silverblue machine. I receive the notice that a share is inbound, but even if I try to set the destination to /SharedData/Documents with the goal of symlinking to ~/Documents later, it doesn't work.

Thank you so much for documenting this process. I'm sure it's user error on my part.

Hm, ok, I found the files. They're showing up in

/var/home/$USER/.local/share/containers/storage/overlay/$ID/diff/$PATH (where $PATH = "SharedData" above)

I feel like I have the volume definition the wrong way around. I'm going to look at which order to define volumes in podman (i.e., container path vs. host path).

Can you share your Podman container definition (e.g. the command you used for creating the container, or the content of the systemd unit file)?

It's been a while. Closing this.
