Syncthing

Inspired by the following guide: https://github.com/MMarco94/linux-guides/blob/main/immutable-os/syncthing.md

Items to take note of:

Networking

You can achieve networking for the container in the following 2 ways

1. Setting Network=Host (Line 33) My preferred method as it works faster when my devices are on a local network

2. Setting Published Ports (Lines 17-20) Performance is poorer but achieves network isolation from host

Container Privileges

• This container is expected to run as non-root
• When initialising the systemd service, use systemctl --user

Volumes

• Config Volume: As mentioned in the guide above, you can use ~/.config/syncthing
• Data Volumes: For every folder you want to add in Syncthing you must create a new volume and add the volume to the .container file: For ~/Sync add it as Volume=%h/Sync:/var/syncthing/sync:Z

Please create the above folders in your system before initialising the container, if not the service will error out
