hi: when the folder set master , other device change the file that have synchronize , the master device which evevt will happen ? which API that i can “Override Changes” ?
Good question. It’s the /rest/db/override
endpoint, which seems to be missing from the documentation. POST to it with ?folder=folderID
as a query parameter. On the event side, look for FolderSummary.
1,"/rest/db/override" endpoint , this isn’t public API ? i didn’t found it in “Database Endpoints” ! 2,when the master folder “FolderSummary” enent happen ,that mean other device have change the synchronize files ? i can post the “/rest/db/override” to change the files to old status ?
It’s as public as anything, we’ve just forgotten to document it, apparently. The FolderSummary is emitted when the amount of data in, or needed by, a folder has changed. In this case, since it’s a master folder it should not need data from anyone else. So in that event, needBytes
> 0 should indicate that you’re out of sync and can use the override if you like.
thanks Borg: i will write code according to you tell !! recently i wirte code that use API to control the syncthing , but now , i found ,perhaps the syncthing should add some folder model ! why i say this ? just now ,i test the syncthing with three device , one folder is master ,other is ordinary , i hope , the master’s file couldn’t change by other device ,but when other device change synchronized files , the ordinary device also changed , this isn’t i hope ,at last i use the master device override the change ,that mean all change will pass by the master device , that’s so inefficiency , all data will get through the master device again , isn’t it ?
Potentially, but you if you behave well and don’t modify the data where you are not supposed to, you won’t get into this state
if someone use one device attack the syncthing ? the syncthing will in what status ? will always transmitall data ?
now , i think the syncthing’s folder model isn’t rigorous folder model !
I’m not sure what you mean, exactly?
when i change the ordinary device 's file name , the master device notifiy the FolderSummary event , but couldn’t override the file that by change file name !
I’m still not really sure what you mean, sorry.
Borg: which IM you use ,can you give me your IM , i want to direct talk to you , this is my email , if you can give me your IM ,please send to my Email :sunylat@163.com , thank you !
No thanks, this is about as realtime as it gets for me. Other stuff ongoing as well, such as work.
It’s by design, and yes, everyone would get data from the master as the override happens. There is a pull request in progress which makes more efficient by sharing partial data between the devices.
Override should rename the file back.
OK , then we talk at here ! the syncthing is good work , i decide use it in the future ! before i have use the BTSync ,i think the BTSync’s model good then the syncthing ,below is the reason: 1,Simple:any node only need the key ,didn’t need other , the node can accept the p2p system ! 2,more safety:this better then the syncthing , in the BTSync , if the mode is readonly , the node only can accept other node change ,but this node’s change didn’t affect other node ,this is very important ! because i think the readonly p2p node should only work for itself, couldn’t affect by other node !
the p2p system perhaps attack by someone , the BTSync’s readonly can avoid attack !! if the node is readonly , whether how change the files that in this node ,it wouldn’t affect other node !! i think this is better model !!
Which property decide the device is the master ?
i found an question , when other node change the synchronize file’s name , the master device get the change ,but couldn’t override the file !
There is a readOnly property on folder section in the config to indicate that this device will refuse any updates from anyone.
I understand how BTSync works, but this is not how syncthing works, and if that doesn’t suit your needs, feel free to go back to BTSync.
It should, I will test it at home.
thank you AudriusButkevicius !
