Allow Using Official Syncthing Binary #7

Closed PhasecoreX closed 8 months ago

PhasecoreX commented 9 months ago

Hello!

I am using the official Syncthing binary, located at https://syncthing.net/downloads, the Linux Intel/AMD (64‑bit) variant. I run it with systemd as an enabled user service and everything works nicely in game mode and desktop mode.

By default it's running on port 8384, however for some reason this plugin doesn't want to connect to it. If I select the globe icon in the plugin, it does open the browser to Syncthing, and I can see it working just fine. I've even put the API key in the settings, it still doesn't work.

Wasn't sure if there was something I was doing wrong? I'd assume flatpak or not, the port is the same and so it should still work? Maybe I don't know how this plugin is actually communicating with Syncthing. But regardless I don't need the plugin to manage starting and stopping the binary, I just want it to display the sync information.

Any help would be appreciated!

Hi! I don't have much time at the moment, but I'm planning to refactor and simplify the plugin a lot, to explicitly allow things such as Flatpak-less Systemd setups for Syncthing. At the moment only Flatpak based setups are supported & it's hard to say why it wouldn't connect for you.
