I really wanted syncthing to work on my raspberry pi but couldn’t for the life of me figure how to setup syncthing with an external drive connected to the RPi.
If anyone already has such a setup I could use your help.
If you’re running Syncthing directly on Linux, I can recommend this guide to help you get started; it’s worked for me when I was testing it.
I am personally running Syncthing as a Docker container, since it’s just easier to manage for me. For a docker-based setup, I recommend this playlist.
Let me know which route you go with. I do agree that it takes a bit of tinkering to get working. But once it does, it just sits there and does its job.
I actually followed the tutorial from PiMyLife but got stuck when trying to use external hard disk, using the raspberry pi’s internal file system syncthing worked fine , its only with external hdd that am having trouble with.
I also tried using Casa OS which works on the docker concept to load apps but that also had the same problem for me.
The old fashioned way of doing things was to mount the external drive as a /mnt/usb with /etc/fstab — are you doing things differently?
