Hi,
please try it again by remove the "."

So Home directory looks like this: /mnt/42/syncthing

[Schizoid]

no luck, i got the same error as before

[daoyama]

Is the target directory empty? If not empty, please use empty directory.
Most case you don't have correct permission or use old configuration.

BTW, what format are you using on /mnt/42?

[Schizoid]

empty directories, fresh created they have 755 permission 1000 uid and 1000 gid
700 permission 983 uid 983 gid after i try to launch syncthing (so some steps of the script are actually working)

/mnt/42 is the root mount point of my zfs pool (it has some nested datasets if it is a relevant information)

[raulfg3]

create a new dataset : /mnt/42/syncthing and try again

[Schizoid]

still same error, same behavior as before about changing permissions and ownership


edit:
i tried running commands by hand as root
it works, but i got a

Code: Select all

sed: 1: "/mnt/42/syncthing/confi ...": invalid command code 4

when trying to sed

[Schizoid]

updated to release 2235, same behavior

[daoyama]

I can't reproduce it.

sed: 1: "/mnt/42/syncthing/confi ...": invalid command code 4

Please use this from shell.

Code: Select all

sudo -u syncthing /usr/bin/sed s/127.0.0.1:8384/192.168.210.42:8384/ /mnt/42/syncthing/config.xml

which shell do you use for root user?
do you have /mnt/42/syncthing/config.xml?

[Schizoid]

as root, without "-i" it works

so the problem lies in some permission, maybe i have to add syncthing user to admin group?

[daoyama]

as root, without "-i" it works

this is not -i, correct option is -i ''. (-i and empty string by double single quot)

[Schizoid]

this is the command i find in logs

Code: Select all

/usr/bin/sed -i s/127.0.0.1:8384/192.168.210.42:8384/ /mnt/42/syncthing/config.xml

and throws this error:

Code: Select all

sed: 1: "/mnt/42/syncthing/confi ...": invalid command code 4

these are working

Code: Select all

/usr/bin/sed s/127.0.0.1:8384/192.168.210.42:8384/ /mnt/42/syncthing/config.xml

Code: Select all

/usr/bin/sed -i '' s/127.0.0.1:8384/192.168.210.42:8384/ /mnt/42/syncthing/config.xml

first one obviously print config to screen, second one (two single quote) to file

script is missing some escapes?

[daoyama]

script is missing some escapes?

No, the log looks after de-quoting.

If you have usable config, syncthing.log may be created under your specified directory after fail to start.
(in your case, /mnt/42/syncthing/syncthing.log)

[Schizoid]

short system log this time:

Code: Select all

root: /etc/rc.d/syncthing: WARNING: failed to start syncthing
root: Failed to start service syncthing

no logfile in synchthing folder

[HarusKG]

I have same problem. First start - all ok! Stop service, clean Syncthing config folder, start service again... and error.

I solved my problem. I have trouble with incorrect permissions.

[Schizoid]

how did you set permissions to have it work?

[Oklahoma]

how did you set permissions to have it work?

Yep, I think that this is my problem as well. Would also like to know more about getting it to work.

[corvin]

Same problem here... any thoughts? running 10.3.0.3 - Pilingitam (revision 3330) liveUSB on x86 system.

Hi,

I was poking around a bit and noticed, that if you put /var/run/syncthing as home directory, and create it, the service starts correctly with no error.
My hard drive is formatted in UFS and mounted in /mnt as Data (/mnt/Data/ ) so I just recreated permissions path from /var/run/syncthing to /mnt/Data/syncthing and the service starts correctly now!

I think syncthing needs read and execute permission for "others" along the path to be able to access home directory configred in NAS4Free webinterface.

Permissions on my folders:

/var
drwxr-xr-x 14 root wheel 512 Dec 23 10:25 var

/var/run
drwxr-xr-x 8 root wheel 1024 Dec 24 12:31 run

/var/run/syncthing
drwx------ 3 syncthing syncthing 512 Dec 24 12:12 syncthing

/mnt
drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel 512 Dec 23 10:25 mnt

/mnt/Data
drwxr-xr-x 10 root staff 1536 Dec 24 12:10 Data

/mnt/Data/syncthing
drwx------ 3 syncthing syncthing 512 Dec 24 12:58 syncthing

I have working service now, I will return here when I get working sync folder...

[corvin]

Hi,

Ok. I have all working now. To sync folder within your data drive, your folder to sync must be owned by syncthing group. Same rule of rx permission apply along the path to sync folder. Folder does not have to be owned by syncthing user, and to access it from for example Samba share, your samba user must be in syncthing group.
It all works fine then!

Regards,

By the way, I am running NAS4Free for home setup on HP T5540 thin client...
