How to install sync thing server

Support
1

I want to make a synchronize a folder on my server with an external HD on my desktop computer.

My desktop is installed just fine.

But, the server side, the debian install seems to be for a desktop computer. Maybe I am wrong. Can I use the install instructions from the downloads page for debian/ubuntu on my server?

Then, if installed, I could use my browser to pour to MYINTERNALIP:8384 Right?

Thanks

There are multiple different ways on how to install syncthing. I am sure there are plenty of guides you can find on the internet including ours: https://apt.syncthing.net/

Hello,

OK, it was simple enough to install on my server. Thanks.

I am running it from my internal network. How can I access is?

I tried the similar way as for my desktop computer: myinternalnetworkip:8384

HOw do I access it from my desktop computer?

After running syncthing, I got the output(I replaced mt static IP with “...”)(look at attached file).

Thanks!

The address is shown in the logs. I think most of this is covered in getting started guide, so I suggest you refer to that first.

Hello,

When I look at the logs, I find references to my external static IP.

I also see:

Access the GUI via the following URL: http://127.0.0.1:8384/

Since this is on my server(and I am accessing from my desktop), I do no have direct access to the computer, so I can not use this link.

I do not see any reference to an internal IP that I can use.

Can you please tell me which address to which you are referring?

Thanks

Hi! The config.xml file should be in $HOME/.config/syncthing (or ~/.config/syncthing). This page has more info if you’re interested! https://docs.syncthing.net/users/config.html
