The most fantastic part about Syncthing is that you can install it not just on Linux but on multiple operating systems. To use Syncthing, you will need to install a second copy up to this point on another server or desktop. If you are using UFW, then execute the following command to allow the port: sudo ufw allow 22000/tcp Install Syncthing Peers Syncthing will need to be allowed to use port (22000) to communicate with peers. The main configuration file is located at (/home/username/.config/syncthing/config.xml) if you need to change or fix any settings such as changing the default 127.0.0.1 to an internal or external IP address.

You can change the home folder later on if you choose. Note, your configuration files are under (/home/username/.config/syncthing/) and your default home folder is (/home/username/syncthing/). Instead, you will install the official source deb repository:įirst, add the GPG key by executing the following command: curl -s | sudo apt-key add.
