This thread is old but I’m reviving it since I have a need for a Web management.
I’m a senior web programming, and I need to management for more than 10 syncthing device.
Does anyone have a copy of Metrothing web? It could help to start without restart from zero. Also, I want to put it to Github so many people could use it.
Guys, anyone any idea if syncthing will always stay in the oldschool layout?
think of those nice tools like pihole, openmediavault, homeassistant, nextcloud and so on… they have a great usability. what about some for syncthing?
and if I think about setting up syncthing… installing syncthing ist obviously still a challenge and needs much more skills in cmd. to install pihole it is just:
“curl -sSL https://install.pi-hole.net | bash” thats it!
I doubt that it will stay ‘old school’ forever. The wish for a more modern GUI with a more structured code-base behind it seems to be current, still. A couple weeks ago there was a minor thread about it; Status on new GUI - #33 by ssgtcookie. @ssgtcookie seemingly did some work to at least migrate to more up-to-date frameworks? No clue about the status.
Anyways, I think a whole GUI/layout-rework is mostly just a lot of work that nobody really picked up so far, at least not on the level that may be required.
And the installation process isn’t all too complicated is it? The configuration may need some wizard, so new users get guided a little. But I’m not sure that the installation process itself is too unfriendly currently.
I can’t do it, because even if obviously in jest it might cause reputational issues, but I’d really love to respond with a script like this for syncthing here, which then sends you to this wonderful place to prove a point: Any project recommending a “download stuff and pipe to bash” install method is just insane. And it doesn’t change anything that there likely is a disclaimer saying “don’t do it unless you reviewed the script”, because people won’t do it.
