Syncthing on TrueNAS says its working but does not create folder

Hey guys - I’m trying to use syncthing.

  1. It seems to work fine on my computer side, but when I try to create the matching folder on truenas side, it says it succeeded and is synced, but I simply do not see that folder there. I checked, and the file path is correct, and sync thing says its correct, but the folder simply does not appear. I am trying all kinds of permissions things. Yes, both the dataset itself and the SMB share for it has “apps” in the permissions, and “apps” can both read and write to it. I have even tried changing syncthings own group/ user to the same group/user that actually owns it. Nothing.

  2. The most frustrating thing is that it returns no errors. Syncthing thinks everything is good, but it is not. I do not understand why syncthing thinks the folder is synced just fine when it is clearly not even there at all

Welcome here @NAXLAB !

I bet that Syncthing is creating the folder successfully, but in the container it is running in. You need to add a mapping between a directory on the NAS and the directory in the container. I don’t use TrueNAS myself, but if you search the forum for TrueNAS I bet you will find information which is useful to you.
