Can't access Syncthing anymore on Gui

[arnauld]

Hi,

I think I made a mistake. I have Syncthing installed on a Pi and used access it with xxxxx.fr/syncthing . I changed in Syncthing setting “access syncthing gui” and ticked “using https” and now I can’t access it to the same address xxxxx.fr/syncthing

Is there a way to disable in Syncthing setting “access syncthing gui” “using https” via the Cli ?

Thank you.

If there’s no reverse web proxy in your setup, have you tried the following?:

https://xxxxx.fr/syncthing

Yes, I tried this because this is my Syncthing address I used before the wrong manipulation.

Now, after having ticked “using https” https://xxxxx.fr/syncthing redirects to https://127.0.0.1/

It’s still not entirely clear what your existing setup is like to make https://xxxxx.fr/syncthing work as intended with HTTPS enabled, but to re-disable HTTPS for Syncthing’s GUI…

After shutting down Syncthing, edit your config file. On an RPi, it’s most likely ~/.config/syncthing/config.xml or ~/.local/state/syncthing/config.xml if it’s been left to the default location.

In config.xml there’s a line that looks similar to the following:

<gui enabled="true" tls="true" debugging="false" sendBasicAuthPrompt="false">

Change the portion tls="true" to `tls=“false”'.

Alternatively, use Syncthing’s CLI interface to reconfigure the running instance, e.g. to disable HTTPS mode for the GUI:

syncthing cli config gui raw-use-tls set false

Thank you for your help @gadget ! It worked, I could modify ~/.config/syncthing/config.xml and changed tls="true" to tls=“false”.

I have access to my Syncthing web page again.
