after many times on this forum, i trie to find a solution for my problem.
I have a dedicated server with syncthing. At my house i have a nas ( too older for install syncthing), i use an old windows laptop to sync my nas with my dedicated server.
Once the sync is complete. I want to remove the Windows computer, and keep the syncthing link with ma laptop, like that when i add something on my nas from my laptop the syncthing make this job.
Can i just shutdown the windows comptuer, install syncthin on my laptop and kepp my data on dedicated server or all my data was remove and the laptop make a sync again ?
My syncthing install was like that :
Nas → windows PC → Dedicated Server
Windows PC was configure → Send only
Dedicated server → Recieve only.
Sorry, I’ve read it but I am not sure what is being asked.
You can point syncthing at a folder that has pre-existing data, and if its the same as in other places it should not need to transfer it (it will still go through the sync process to compare it).
I do recommend setting one side as send only just in case the data is not the same.
I sync ma “shared folder” from my nas to my dedicated server with my windows computer. in the future i sync the “shared folder” from my nas always to my dedicated server but with my laptop.
Like you say, if i just change the device who make the sync but the source “shared folder” and the destination are the same i loose nothing.
