Crash loop because of files >500MB

Support
1

Hello,

I am pretty new to syncthing. I set it up and it worked perfectly. But now the point is reached where some devices try to sync files that have a size about 500mb’s.

Syncthing tries to sync it and crashes every single time.

More information: It is set up on a pi. 2 android devices are connected (there are the large files) and 1 Win PC.

Hope you can help me. greetz. Gabriel

Where can I find the log?

BTW way my version says: v0.14.18-dfsg1, Linux apt upgrade says i already have the newest version but git says the newest is 1.1.3.

this is how Installed it:

curl -s https://syncthing.net/release-key.txt | apt-key add -
echo "deb http://apt.syncthing.net/ syncthing release" | tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/syncthing-release.list
apt-get update
apt-get install syncthing

Should get the right version, am I missing something?

Something didn’t work when adding the syncthing.net repository, the version you installed is the debian stable one which is ancient. Check that the content of /etc/apt/sources.list.d/syncthing-release.list is as expected. Also apt-cache policy syncthing might give a hint.

Thats the output of apt-cache policy syncthing:

Thanks for your hint. I think it should work I am using a BB KeyOne

The preferences aren’t right, aka those instructions are lacking (and probably also our instructions, maybe a default changed). You also need to set priority of apt.syncthing.net to 900. Write

Package: *syncthing*
Pin: origin apt.syncthing.net
Pin-Priority: 900

to /etc/apt/preferences.d/syncthing.

Also I did sync files of ~2GB to android without issues, it’s definitely possible.
