Using Syncthing on Linux with the CLI only?

Support

Hi,

I use Syncthing with docker on a Linux server + my 2 Macs. I love the setup so far :slight_smile:

As I manage Linux clusters and that I do delete and recreate them from scratch (using terraform) each month, I want to be able to configure Syncthing by using only the CLI and VARS (no GUI!). Could it be possible?

As I have two macs, I guess I could pass the VAR of my mac1 TOKEN. That would be a game-changer for me (and the whole DevOps community as stateful set up are a pain).

At the moment, I use Resilio Sync 2.6.4, but it’s too much of a BlackBox to my taste.

Here is the cmd to run the container I use so far:

  docker run -d \
    --name=tool_syncthing3 \
    -e PUID=1000 \
    -e PGID=1000 \
    -e TZ=Europe/London \
    -e UMASK_SET=022 \
    -p 8384:8384 \
    -p 22000:22000 \
    -p 21027:21027/udp \
    -v /mnt/syncthing/config:/config \
    --restart unless-stopped \
    linuxserver/syncthing:v1.3.3-ls25

Thanks in advance! Pascal

Syncthing UI calls the rest API, you can call the same rest API from wherever you want.
