 skullone | yeah, it's pretty sweet | 09:52:45 |
| skullone | still handy to have a file server around always on, I've had conflicts from my phone being too low on battery to sync or my laptop not turned on and they both modified my KeepAss database, which wouldn't have been a problem if they'd sync'd to another device | 09:54:38 |
| skullone | but if you're technical enough to set up syncthing you can probably run a microserver, rPI or some other microcomputer as a NAS | 09:55:37 |
 Emanuele Aliberti | Or a cheap VPS. | 09:56:44 |
 Sergi Tsanz | yeah 🤘🤘 | 10:33:21 |

| Sergi Tsanz | could a local NAS replace syncthing? | 10:04:20 |
| Sergi Tsanz | I always thought if I could have a local server to sync across all my devices at home it would be coool... | 10:05:03 |
| Sergi Tsanz | also a copy of what is in the computers would be in the local NAS | 10:05:24 |
 Andrew | A local NAS serves a different purpose than Syncthing. The combination of the two is useful, because then you have a "persistent peer" with lots of storage capacity. This assumes that your NAS is basically a server that you can install Syncthing on. | 13:26:54 |
| Andrew | The benefits of having a Syncthing peer with lots of storage always online are that (1) you can use the NAS as a "receive-only" peer that ensures access to data between devices that are not always simultaneously online, and (2) the large storage capacity allows you to take advantage of features like Syncthing file versioning, which can help with conflict resolution for example. | 13:30:58 |

| @c-k-lay:matrix.org | Hi, i've enabled https and set a password for syncthing. Now I can't login anymore, maybe the password or username are incorrect. Because of that i want to reset and delete all user data, so i can setup Syncthing again. How can i do that?
Maybe it's important to say i've installed SyncThingy too. | 21:38:33 |
| Andrew | You can avoid a reinstall by editing your Syncthing config file directly to reset the webpage password. At least if I understand what you've done. | 21:39:38 |
| @c-k-lay:matrix.org | ok where's the config? | 21:40:38 |
| Andrew | There is a config.xml file somewhere | 21:40:59 |
| Andrew | Maybe this section? | 21:42:14 |
| @c-k-lay:matrix.org | the problem is i cant find the file. | 21:42:54 |
| Andrew | at the very top of that page it shows the standard paths | 21:43:19 |
| Andrew | did you look at your platforms path? if not there maybe the SyncThingy puts it somewhere else | 21:43:41 |
| Andrew | https://github.com/zocker-160/SyncThingy#configuration | 21:44:07 |
| @c-k-lay:matrix.org | yes its there thx | 21:45:34 |

| @Rasi:matrix.org | but syncthing fails to scan the media folder | 12:37:19 |
