syncthing-truenas

Automatically downloading, then running syncthing on an immutable TrueNAS SCALE system.

Install

Pre-requisites

• A TrueNAS SCALE system, or other system where it's hard to install software directly.
• A user account on the system, logged in to a Linux terminal.
• A mounted filesystem where your user can write files, and execute them.

Installation

Go to the directory where you have write access, and download the repo:

mkdir -p syncthing-truenas

curl -fLS https://github.com/hugojosefson/syncthing-truenas/archive/refs/heads/main.tar.gz \
| tar xvz --strip-components=1 -C syncthing-truenas

...or, if you have git installed:

git clone https://github.com/hugojosefson/syncthing-truenas

Usage

Then, go into the directory, and run the script to download and run syncthing as the current user:

cd syncthing-truenas
./syncthing
