fixed syncthing running as root error and permission issues on share #107

Closed gautamkrishnar closed 2 years ago

gautamkrishnar commented 2 years ago

Sycthing developers recommends against running syncthing as root. See: https://forum.syncthing.net/t/the-meaning-of-syncthing-should-not-run-as-a-privileged-or-system-user-please-consider-using-a-normal-user-account/10034

This will cause a lot of file permission issues when used with /share. This PR will:

Downgrade and executes synching as an admin user instead of root user
Since the admin user is by default a member of share group, there wont be any file permission issues while accessing the directories/files created by synching in /share.

Awesome, thanks for your contribution. Unfortunately I won't get around building new packages any time soon.
