Testing ST - trying to decrypt test file

chrislcookie · June 8, 2024, 3:06am

I have two instances of TrueNAS running ST. They are connected and I was able to sync a single photo both trusted and untrusted, different folders. I have made these folders SMB shares so I can see them from Windows. I would like to decrypt the encrypted file on the receiving TrueNAS machine to test that I can recover my files if most machine fails. I open the shell for ST and I have tried

syncthing decrypt --to=/encrypt --password test /decrypt --folder-id hsfgr-ues6c

syncthing decrypt --to /encrypt --password test /decrypt --folder-id hsfgr-ues6c syncthing: error: Yellowstone2003 023.jpg: loading metadata trailer: seek /decrypt/Yellowstone2003 023.jpg: invalid argument

but i get an invalid argument. All of these folders are mount points in my trueNAS app install for syncthing.

I tried this

syncthing decrypt --to /encrypt --password test --to /decrypt --folder-id hsfgr-ues6c

and got this error syncthing: error: expected “”

Nothing here is critical, I am jsut trying to make sure I can recover my encrypted data from a remote machine it needed, otherwise encryption is not an option.

thanks

It looks like you’ve switched the to and from arguments. Yellowstone2003 023.jpg is not a Syncthing-encrypted file, unless you’ve moved and renamed it yourself.

Thanks for taking the time to help me. Here is a screen shot of ST with the receiving folder that is encrypted.

here is my updated command

/ # syncthing decrypt /syncthingencrypt --password test --to /syncthingdecrypt --folder-id hsfgr-ues6c syncthing: error: Yellowstone2003 023.jpg: chmod /syncthingdecrypt/Yellowstone2003 023.jpg: operation not permitted

here are the mount points in my app setup in truenas
