New to Syncthing, Leaving Syncthing

I can only see a single post from the OP asking questions and trying to solve his issues, which I think we did our best to answer and help with.

I have also seen something like this and I also agree that it is a little bit less of informations. When dealing with Syncthing and Synology, there are a few simple rules, to which there are also enough contributions, including mine.

I recently had 4, now 3 Synology DS with Syncthing installed. With the latest Syncthing v1.4.2 it runs flawlessly and everything is synchronized. I do some cross-checks from time to time, so I’m sure.

To get further, some information are needed. Whether you use the SynoCommunity package or the Syncthing package that has been available since January:

@calmh

There is now a “supported” packaging of Syncthing for Synology. Instructions and package source here: https://docs.kastelo.net/synology/ . I welcome testing and reports of success or otherwise, as well as requests for clarification of the documentation.

For issues with the package or it’s documentation, please open issues at the kastelo/syncthing-synology repository, or let me know in this thread.

Note that that this is not an “official” package in the sense that the Syncthing foundation or open source community is behind it. It’s a third party packaging much like any other, it just so happens that I work with/at the third party in question. It could conceivably become an official packaging at some point, but that would require a community around it first and I’m not going to foist responsibility of this thing on the Syncthing community at this point – while Kastelo currently has commercial interests in maintaining it.

as there described in the documentation, it must be ensured in any case that the rights have been granted.

In addition, on Synology side the individual peers under Edit > Advanced > Permissions Ignore must be activated (checkmark), otherwise the described effects can occur.

Then the to be synchronized scope would be very important, since the RAM memory with 256 MB in the DS212j limits the matter quite quickly. This could also be one of the reasons why it is not working properly.
