No GUI

I installed syncthing 1.9 on Ubuntu 20.4 LTS in accordance with the instructions on the syncthing website. The install went well, no errors but I have no GUI. In a term window syncthing responds to “synthing -version” with:

syncthing v1.9.0 “Fermium Flea” (go1.15.1 linux-amd64) deb@build.syncthing.net 2020-08-28 05:48:25 UTC [noupgrade] But I cannot access the GUI with Firefox.

Please help.

I have successfully installed syncthing on 2 other computers with no issues.

In His service, Wayne

Can you check the command line output (or the logfile, if enabled) and look for a line similar to [XXXXX] 00:00:00 INFO: GUI and API listening on 127.0.0.1:8384? Is the port actually 8384? Syncthing will use a different one if 8384 is already in use.

What instructions exactly did you use?

The install instructions on https://syncthing.net/downloads/ are only for the installation, not for making it run.

After that installation you have a service installed, but not enabled. You then need to follow the docs: https://docs.syncthing.net/users/autostart.html#using-systemd
