syncthingInstalling it
Open the dashboard, go to Apps, press Add on it and apply the change. Or from a terminal on the box:
sudo homebox install syncthingWhere to open it
| Service | Port | First login |
|---|---|---|
| Syncthing | :8384 | No password at all until you set one under Actions then Settings. Do it on the first visit. |
Open it at your box's address with that port — the dashboard links to it directly once it is running.
Good to know
- Pairing is mutual: adding a device on one side only shows a pending request on the other until you accept it there too
- Set a GUI password on the first visit. Without one, anyone who reaches the page can add a device and pull the whole folder
- It is a sync tool, not a backup. Delete a file on the laptop and it is deleted here too — turn on File Versioning per folder if that matters
