Hi all, I’ve set up syncthing many times on Raspberry Pi - but this time the config.xml has not been created when I first ran syncthing.
I followed these instructions exactly -
nano ~/.config/syncthing/config.xml
until the point it asked me to edit config.xml. When I run nano ~/.config/syncthing/config.xml
It says that it doesn’t exist.

Any thoughts on what to do next?

I should have posted the log that I get when I run Syncthing, then shut it down as per the instructions (links redacted)

Is there a reason why you’re running a 32bit version? Also, check memory usage on the device, I suspect it’s low on memory.

The default location for the config changed a couple of versions back. It’s now in ~/.local/state.
