Syncthing for StartOS

Syncthing is a continuous file synchronization program. It synchronizes files between two or more computers. This repository creates the s9pk package that is installed to run Syncthing on StartOS.

Dependencies

Prior to building the syncthing package, it's essential to configure your build environment for StartOS services. You can find instructions on how to set up the appropriate build environment in the Developer Docs.

• docker
• docker-buildx
• deno
• make
• start-sdk
• yq

Cloning

Clone the Syncthing package repository locally.

git clone https://github.com/Start9Labs/syncthing-startos.git
cd syncthing-startos

Building

To build the Syncthing service as a universal package, run the following command:

make

Alternatively the package can be built for individual architectures by specifying the architecture as follows:

# for amd64
make x86

or

# for arm64
make arm

Installing (on StartOS)

Before installation, define host: https://server-name.local in your ~/.embassy/config.yaml config file then run the following commands to determine successful install:

:information_source: Change server-name.local to your Start9 server address

start-cli auth login
#Enter your StartOS password
make install

Tip: You can also install the syncthing.s9pk by sideloading it under the StartOS > System > Sideload a Service section.

Verify Install

Go to your StartOS Services page, select Syncthing and start the service.

Done!
