To be honest, SyncTrayzor probably isn’t a good fit for you here. The stuff that puts it above the other tray utilities are:
Embedded web browser
Various notifications: synchronization finished, device connected/disconnected
File transfer progress stuff
Built-in inotify
None of that stuff is useful on a server, and will only use resources unnecessarily. The embedded web browser in particular will gobble 40-odd megs (although I only load it the first that time SyncTrayzor is restored from the tray), while the notifications stuff will increase Syncthing’s resource usage slightly (since I’m occasionally asking it for stuff), and the inotify is useless
It might be fun to make separate Syncthing server service manager (which forces people to do things like not run it as an admin) but that’s another project for another day.
QSyncthingTray popped up recently: I don’t think that does any of the fancy stuff that SyncTrayzor does, and so may be a better fit for you.
Yeah that’s port 8384 which is the port the Syncthing listens on. So it’s connecting to localhost:8384, and your computer’s resolving that to rad.msn.com.
I seem to remember that putting an entry in your hosts file pointing that domain to 127.0.0.1 is a good way of removing adverts from some program, maybe Skype?
Either way, SyncTrayzor will connect to syncthing, to my upgrade server to check for updates, and to github to download updates. Nowhere else.
No worries. It’s not a “problem” per se, just some setup which is presenting some slightly confusing information. Just accept the firewall warning and all will be well
That’s not planned. SyncTrayzor runs and manages one Syncthing instance for the local machine, and all of the functionality it provides is related to managing that single Syncthing instance.
Having multiple tabs for multiple Syncthing instances on different machines is no different to opening a browser window and opening multiple Syncthing instances on multiple tabs, so I don’t see the benefit of trying to replicate what any other web browser does, especially given that I’ll undoubtedly do it worse.
Is SyncTrayzor still being updated? It seems the forum is filled with similar initiatives but I have always used SyncTrayzor in the past. I haven’t used SyncThing for I while and want to set it up again. I believe SyncTrayzor is still the best one to use, especially to watch folders etc.
The last release was in November (see the releases page). Development’s been slower than usual lately as I’ve been focussing on other projects, but I’m hoping to pick it back up soon.
We only have 32 33 issues labeled bug (discounting undecided ones). Any project can accumulate arbitrarily many enhancement tickets, and we’re quite liberal in accepting them as “probably not going to happen, but if someone wants to contribute it some time it would probably be ok”.
