Keeping Syncthing Running: Ubuntu / Upstart

I’d like to run syncthing automatically, and keep it running. I’m sure most people reading this already have their own ways of doing this, but I thought I’d explain how I do it for reference. I’ve got two machines: call them “desktop” (my main computer which I sit at all the time; running Ubuntu 13.10) and “server” (my home server, in a cupboard, running Ubuntu 12.04), which share repositories. Syncthing does already do a job of restarting itself if required, but in a weird way: if you run sync…

Keeping Syncthing Running: Systemd & regular /etc/init.d

Ubuntu is the most popular flavour of *nix. The current Ubuntu uses Upstart for jobs. It is preferable to install the syncthing-inotify addon on Ubuntu as otherwise syncthing will use brute-force at regular intervals to scan for changes rather than sync the files immediately when they change. However, for whatever reason, the Syncthing developers have not added upstart scripts to the /etc/ folder in the Syncthing or Syncthing-Inotify repos. Therefore I would be grateful if someone familiar with…
