Hey
I’d like to install syncthing on OSX and I want to use the launcher. Syncthing starts correctly but when I try to use the web interface it displays “unknown device” and I don’t have an ID.
I’ve exactly followed the tutorial from the readme. If I start the application by myself, everything works fine.
Is there anything I have left?
Thanks for your help, Fabian
Do you run some funky browser extensions which block cookies, javascript or something? I suggest you check the javascript console for errors, or try refreshing the page.
I only use adblock with safari. Chrome doesnt load the site at all. With safari, the following console message appers every second: [Error] Failed to load resource: Can’t establish the connection to the server. (events, line 0) in http://127.0.0.1:8080/rest/events?limit=1
Any suggestion?
[edited: translated the german error message]
Sorry, I don’t read german so I have no clue what the error means
translation added =)
Is there some sort of proxy involved? Alternatively, are you sure that syncthing is still running after you’ve opened the page? You have to keep it running in the terminal (by nohup or disowning it or something). Worst case, check stdout for crashes/clues.
The system log says and repeats every 10 seconds:
May 21 16:54:43 83adfa75 com.apple.xpc.launchd[1] (net.syncthing.syncthing): This service is defined to be constantly running and is inherently inefficient.

After the gui-request in the browser it says (I am not sure if it is interesting): May 21 16:57:03 83adfa75 com.apple.xpc.launchd[1] (net.syncthing.syncthing): Service only ran for 0 seconds.

This is not syncthing’s log, you should check syncthings log. How are you starting syncthing to start with?
Something is wrong with your launchd setup. Double check the paths in the syncthing.plist file; could be an incorrect setting of HOME or path to the binary…
“Install the syncthing binary in a directory called bin in your
home directory.” doesnt mean copy the complete syncthing folder into the bin directory 
Always just copy this syncthing binary file into your bin folder!
Everything works fine now 
Thank you all for your help!
