Unable to find location of configuration file

Hi, I am wanting to upgrade my NAS from the most recent TrueNAS CORE, to the latest TrueNAS Community Edition.

This nukes the FreeBSD jail, and means I have to install Syncthing as an application on the new Linux-based OS.

I would ideally like to avoid having to set up Syncthing again from scratch.

I have found a config.xml file in the jail structure, iocage/jails/syncthing/root/root/.config/syncthing/config.xml.

However, the config file appears to be irrelevant - not containing the running instance’s identification string (it has some completely different one instead, matching none of my devices), and mentioning no devices, folders, files, excludes, etc that I have set up.

Where do I find the actual config file? None of the “new” (>V1.27.0) paths exist, despite the jail running V1.28.1.

Is your old Syncthing installation still running? If yes, then in the Web GUI, you can find the paths under Help → About.

That would have been lovely to know…

Thank you :folded_hands: it’s indeed in a completely different place….

Note though that it is Syncthing’s view of where the file is, so inside of whatever jail, container, etc it’s running in.

Yep already knew. Thanks anyhow
