Been using Syncthing for years as well and your approach to installing the application and using it in the home is a clean way of handling file/folder synchronization on a star topology network. Great video!

Throwing a comment your way to help the the algorithm: You have been my personal Linux instructor lately as I navigate this operating system. I've been using Linux for maybe a little over 6 months now? I was watching other youtubers but they just kind of quickly go through things, but you often take the time to explain what you're doing and why, and for idiots like me it's a huge help. I didn't start really understand what I was doing until I came across your Arch install video (which led me to your channel) and then your homelab podcast. I'm doing things that 1 month ago I would have been scratching my head at. Your channel is indispensable.

Thank you! I am very appreciative for this information, the documentation is great, but as with any good docs, it's quite lengthy. This short breakdown of SOHO NAS scenario is very fitting, cheers.

Thank you for this upload, I can only imagine how much work goes into producing a video like this.

I sure asked about this a few weeks ago. Thanks for the video!

Very helpful Jay, thanks.

Well done...I was trying to do what this does automagically using rsync scripts, but this is a lot less work and needs no updating manually. I like it.
-
Great video Jay, thank you very very much!

Thanks for the guide Jay! I did in this case have to configure my ufw firewall on the server for certain devices to to connect (home network). Looks like port 21027/udp was the culprit. Instructions taken from Syncthing documentation: "If you’re using ufw on Linux and have installed the Syncthing package, you can allow the necessary ports by running: sudo ufw allow syncthing If you also want to allow external access to the Syncthing web GUI, run: sudo ufw allow syncthing-gui Allowing external access is not necessary for a typical installation. You can then verify that the ports mentioned above are allowed: sudo ufw status verbose "

Great video. I use Syncthing to save client directories to unique directories on the server. Same idea, just separates the environments.
