Didn't know that Synctrain was even a thing. Until recently.

How does it compare to Möbius Sync?

Should #Synctrain now be considered the preferred #Syncthing app on #iPhone?

#Deshitification: #Syncthing / #SyncTrain is set to become one of my favourite tools alongside #Logseq. #Data synchronisation without #BigTech #Cloud #Synchronisation. Of course, the #Apple / #iOS crap is particularly fiddly and limited again. I have completely disabled #iCloud. #privacy

Install Syncthing 2.x for continuous file synchronisation on Debian or Ubuntu or Raspberry Pi OS

edafe.de/syncthing

Syncthing is an open source tool that synchronises files continuously across multiple devices. It transfers data between two or more of your computers, without uploading any information to the cloud.

Syncthing 2.0 has recently been described as ‘A Giant Leap Forward in Decentralized File Synchronization‘.

Synchronisation for every platform

Syncthing binary packages are available for Android, Windows, macOS and Linux (including Synology DSM). In addition, Synctrain enables iOS devices to “securely synchronise files with other devices that have Syncthing installed”.

The usefulness of the Syncthing Project cannot be overstated.

Running the Syncthing stable-v2 channel

These instructions are targeting the latest release of the Syncthing stable channel.

Step 1

Add the necessary release key for validation of downloaded Syncthing packages.

$ sudo curl -L -o /etc/apt/keyrings/syncthing-archive-keyring.gpg https://syncthing.net/release-key.gpg

Step 2

Add the Syncthing repository as a new source.

$ echo "deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/syncthing-archive-keyring.gpg] https://apt.syncthing.net/ syncthing stable-v2" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/syncthing.list

Step 3

Install Syncthing on your local system.

$ sudo -- bash -c 'apt update && apt install --yes syncthing apt-transport-https'

Step 4

Enable Syncthing for the current user.

$ sudo -- bash -c 'systemctl enable syncthing@$USER.service && systemctl start syncthing@$USER.service && systemctl status syncthing@$USER.service'

Step 5

You may want to edit your firewall settings to open ports for incoming and outgoing traffic.

If you are using ufw as a host-based firewall

Configure ufw to allow connections to Syncthing.

$ sudo ufw limit syncthing

If you are using firewalld as a host-based firewall

Configure firewalld to allow connections to Syncthing.

$ sudo -- bash -c 'firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-service=syncthing --permanent && firewall-cmd --reload && firewall-cmd --info-zone=public'

Step 6

Use your browser to access the Syncthing configuration page by navigating to the following address:

http://localhost:8384

Step 7

Complete your setup by referring to the Syncthing documentation.

Upgrading from the v1 channel

If you have previously installed from apt.syncthing.net and are currently running Syncthing 1.x, upgrading to the stable-v2 channel is straightforward.

Remove the old APT sources configuration file.

$ sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/syncthing.list

Add the new repository for the stable-v2 channel together with its release key.

$ sudo curl -L -o /etc/apt/keyrings/syncthing-archive-keyring.gpg https://syncthing.net/release-key.gpg && echo "deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/syncthing-archive-keyring.gpg] https://apt.syncthing.net/ syncthing stable-v2" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/syncthing.list

Upgrade to the latest stable version of Syncthing.

$ sudo -- bash -c 'apt update && apt upgrade --yes'

Thank a lot @jiewawa
I did not know about the new application #sushitrain (alias #synctrain) , it does not appear in Apple store, because it is not in many stores French, US, and probably many others https://github.com/pixelspark/sushitrain/discussions/15
I have been able to install it through testflight. And I have now a way to sync #journelly to my linux boxes, and to android (with syncthing-fork). And it will allow a better synchronization of many applications where I was relying on clouds.

@sbb I'm pretty sure #synctrain (an iOS #syncthing client) works on the iPad. Did you try that?

Edit: #MöbiusSync is also showing as working on iPad.

#journelly is a native #ios personal, on device, microblogging app powered by #orgmode now open for beta testing 🥳

Notes can be synced to other devices using iCloud or any OS using #syncthing (see excellent #Synctrain)

Oye pues la primera experiencia con Syncthing muy bien.
- Instalé Syncthing desde el repositorio de Fedora.
- Extensión Syncthing Toggle para Gnome Shell para iniciar o detener el proceso, y para acceder a la webUI.
- Aplicación Synctrain para iPad.
Como Apple es como es, tengo que iniciar la aplicación para que sincronice. Pero No me supone gran esfuerzo. He configurado para que se descargue todo (al final son menos de 3GB) y se integra perfectamente con la app Archivos.
A ver qué tal si borro algo por accidente (me ha pasado) o si quiero recuperar una versión anterior. Tiene control de versiones. Veremos.
