Hello,

How do you change the user that Syncthing is setup under to another user. Preferably www-data user to sync website files? We running several ubuntu web servers and set Syncthing up using “systemctl enable syncthing@myuser.service” “systemctl start syncthing@myuser.service”, as directions suggest. afterwards we realized we should of used the www-data user. Can we change this?

Stop/remove/disable that service and start a new one as syncthing@www-data.service I guess?
