I don’t know any tutorial but I did install syncthing on a DS214 like this:

1. create user st and add to admin group to get access to all files and folders
2. login to ssh as root
3. switch to user st with `su -s /bin/ash st`
4. go to home dir with `cd` (which should bring you to `/volume1/homes/st/`
5. download and extract syncthing arm version; and move syncthing binary from sub folder to home folder
6. start syncthing, let it create certs and config, then kill it
7. edit config to change web ui from 127.0.0.1 to 0.0.0.0

To start syncthing on boot, you can add `su -s /bin/ash -c /volume1/homes/st/syncthing st` to rc.local or you can create a task in synogolgy ui which executes `ash su -s /bin/ash -c /volume1/homes/st/syncthing st` to run it manually (disable schedule) _(thats what I did)_

`volume1/`can be different on your NAS, depending on where the user home dirs are located.
