Syncthing: Configuring a new remote device for sharing and syncing

Configuring a new remote device for sharing and syncing

  1. Log into your new server's Syncthing (<ipaddress>:8384) and copy the Device ID from Actions ➝ Show ID

  1. Now, log in to the Master Syncthing at attracs-devops-1 and add a new remote device.
    1. Give the Device ID you copied
    2. Give a Device Name
  2. Now move on to the Sharing tab

  1. In the Sharing tab:
    1. Toggle attracs-builds from the Unshared Folders
  2. Now move on to the Advanced tab
  3. In the Advanced tab:
    1. Give the server IP address of your new server to the Addresses field in format tcp://<ipaddress>:22000, dynamic
  4. Save and you're done with the Master Syncthing!
  5. Go back to your server's Syncthing and add attracs-devops-1 as a new remote device.
    1. Only difference with this one is the Sharing tab, make it an Introducer and also toggle the attracs-builds shared folder if you can.

  1. You should now get a bunch of device connection requests. Accept attracs-devops-1 from the list
