Syncthing

Syncthing is available as an addon to LibreELEC.

At the moment, the addon provides Syncthing version 0.12.24, which does not update itself automatically.
The addon will however be updated regularly to provide a current version of Syncthing.

If you wish to run the lastest version of Syncthing as soon as it is available (rather than when the addon is updated), you may enable automatic updates of Syncthing via the web interface (usually at libreelec.local:8384).

If you wish to keep your current version of Syncthing, disable automatic updates of the addon via Kodi settings (and make sure that automatic updates of Syncthing are disabled via the web interface).

Please provide you feedback about Syncthing on this thread.

Enjoy!

Hi JumpY!

A log would help me help you. At the console:
journalctl -u service.syncthing

I added it to my to-do list. No ETA, though.

Hi everybody,

SyncThing on Libreelec seems to me a good idea ! My media center (Raspberry Pi2) is is often doing nothing, it is a pity to waste all this power

But, is it possible using it with a SMB access path (smb://...) ?
What is the good practice when you don't have any local storage ?

Hello olivir,

Try this

This is what I use:

cat /storage/.config/system.d/var-media-Extra.mount
[Unit]
Description=Extra
Requires=network-online.service
After=network-online.service
Before=kodi.service




[Mount]
What=//192.168.1.2/LibreELEC


# Where we want mount this share
Where=/var/media/Extra
Options=username=kodi,password=kodi


Type=cifs




[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Hi and thank you awiouy,

The only difference with mine is that I use "/storage/Sync" rather than "/var/media/Extra". It's important to put in "/var/media" ?

Code

LibreELEC:~ # cat /storage/.config/system.d/storage-sync.mount 
[Unit]
 Description=cifs mount script
 Requires=network-online.service
 After=network-online.service
 Before=kodi.service


 [Mount]
 What=//192.168.1.33/SyncThing
 Where=/storage/SyncThing
 Options=username=XXX,password=XXX,rw
 Type=cifs


 [Install]
 WantedBy=multi-user.target

But systemd says it failed :

Code

● storage-sync.mount - cifs mount script
   Loaded: error (Reason: Invalid argument)
   Active: inactive (dead)
    Where: /storage/SyncThing
     What: //192.168.1.33/SyncThing

Isn't there a mismatch between the mount point (/storage/SyncThing) and the name of the service (storage-sync)?

Either adapt the mount point (/storage/sync) or the name of the service (storage-SyncThing).

Hi awiouy, I love that photo with your cat!!! I love your Syncthing plugin too, but I have a problem.

I can access to my NAS thru NFS from Kodi. No problem. I added they as resources from Kodi. So I was thinking that I could access from your plugin to same folders, but the web interface doesn't let me use paths like Kodi, life nfs:// .....

Is there no way to let Sycnthing access NFS folders like Kodi does?

Thank you

The explanations from this wiki page apply to the system.d unit for NFS below.

Requires=network-online.service
