The package contains the binary downloaded from syncthing.net.

Syncthing replaces proprietary sync and cloud services with something open, trustworthy and decentralized. Your data is your data alone and you deserve to choose where it is stored, if it is shared with some third party and how it's transmitted over the Internet.

Sources of spec and systemd units installed by this package:

start service

$ systemctl --user start syncthing

enable service startup

$ systemctl --user enable syncthing

You can install syncthing-inotify to enable sync on file change:

https://openrepos.net/content/fooxl/syncthing-inotify-bin

Note: There is a file conflict with Syncthing-sf (GUI), because both want to install the user unit /usr/lib/systemd/user/syncthing.service .

Two days ago syncthing 0.14.14 with important security update was released

https://github.com/syncthing/syncthing/releases/tag/v0.14.14

Done with new systemd unit files.

syncthing frequently stops

For me syncthing daemon started by systemd does not run more than 1-2 hours. It stops most of the time with exit code 3. Guys have already reported such behaviour so to address this issue syncthing.service was extended with following directives:

SuccessExitStatus=3 4
RestartForceExitStatus=3 4

Unfortunately, RestartForceExitStatus is implemented since systemd v215, but Sailfish OS uses systemd 208 (and that is pretty ancient :( ). So systemd does not restart syncthing daemon as was intended by upstream.

As a workaround for myself I switched to using native syncthing daemonizing method with master daemon watching for worker daemon. At least it seems to restart worker on demand. Here is my workaround (changed daemon run cmd to exclude -no-restart switch):

$ cat /home/nemo/.config/systemd/user/syncthing.service
[Service]
ExecStart=
ExecStart=/usr/bin/syncthing -no-browser -logflags=0

And don't forget `systemctl --user daemon-reload; systemctl --user restart syncthing`

Yes, you are right I already came up on this when writing syncthing-sf and forogt about it later. Do you think this unit is ok:

EDIT: oh, i see...


[Unit] Description=Syncthing - Open Source Continuous File Synchronization
Documentation=http://docs.syncthing.net/
After=network.target
Wants=syncthing-inotify.service

[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/bin/syncthing -no-browser -logflags=0

[Install]
WantedBy=default.target

Finally I've switched to

[Service]

ExecStart=/usr/bin/syncthing -no-browser -no-restart -logflags=0
Restart=on-failure

Systemd appears to restart service just fine if told to. In other words commenting

SuccessExitStatus=3 4

in upstream service file is enough. But memory savings in comparison to variant with watchdog syncthing process is under measure error, i.e. there is no visible difference in memory consumption.

Ok, thanks. Will keep it in mind for next release.

>The package contains the binary downloaded from syncthing.net.

I've compared binaries from https://openrepos.net/sites/default/files/packages/5162/syncthing-bin-0.... and https://github.com/syncthing/syncthing/releases/download/v0.14.13/syncth...

$ du -b syncthing-bin-0.14.13-1.armv7hl.rpm_extracted/usr/bin/syncthing syncthing-linux-arm-v0.14.13/syncthing
12132568        syncthing-bin-0.14.13-1.armv7hl.rpm_extracted/usr/bin/syncthing
12134301        syncthing-linux-arm-v0.14.13/syncthing

Why do these binaries differ? Seems suspicious to me.

Ok, this happens due to binary-stripping when creating the package.

I disabled this now and will upload a new release.

Thanks for pointing this out.

I have no explanation for this. I will check this tomorrow. Propably i should include a checksum in future releases.
