I’m having some issues with getting syncthing on 2 separate TrueNAS boxes on separate networks to work together over the internet.
TrueNAS1 would be sending the files to certain folders over the internet to the other TrueNAS2. I have the port forwarding setup and have the two syncthing clients connected. I was able to use the Syncthing folder to share files but I want to have the same folders sync so I don’t have to manually move data.
To sum it up, I’m having an issue with the sharing a dataset folder on TrueNAS2 so that TrueNAS1 can see the folders and sync the folder and files.
“Out of the box” Syncthing works flawlessly regardless of network topology, locations, NAT etc, as long as there are not restrictive firewalls involved. If direkt connection is not possible, Syncthing will fall back to using relays for it’s always encrypted traffic.
It is a bit hard to understand the problem you are experiencing, so please provide Syncthing screenshots from both ends to help us help you. And also describe your local network setups, use of docker etc.
Sounds like they are connecting okay. Maybe there are permissions problems on one side or the other where syncthing isn’t permitted to access the files on the sending side or isn’t permitted to write the files on the receiving side.
I do believe it was a permissions issue. I ended up going another route and installing Syncthing on two windows servers and having them sync to the truenas using SMB shares.
