It contains the elements described in the following sections and any number of this additional child element: remoteIgnoredDeviceĬontains the ID of the device that should be ignored. Increments whenever a change is made that requires migration from previous formats. They are likely out-of-date and the values may no longer correspond to the defaults. Do not copy them entirely to use as your config. The config examples are present for illustration. The following shows an example of a default configuration file (IDs will differ): dbĪ directory holding the database with metadata and hashes of the files currently on disk and available from peers. The database contains the following files: index- *. The -home flag sets both config and database locations at the same time. The location of the database can be changed using the -data flag. Use the old default location (same as config).If ~/.local/share/syncthing exists, use that location.If $XDG_DATA_HOME is set, use $XDG_DATA_HOME/syncthing.If a database exists in the old default location, that location is still used.The database is stored either in the same directory as the config (usually the default), but may also be located in one of the following directories (Unix-like platforms only): csrftokens.txtĪ list of recently issued CSRF tokens (for protection against browser cross site request forgery). These may be replaced with a custom certificate for HTTPS as desired. The certificate and key for HTTPS GUI connections. The device’s ECDSA public and private key. In this directory the following files are located: config.xml It can be changed at runtime using the -config flag. The config location defaults to $HOME/.config/syncthing (Unix-like), $HOME/Library/Application Support/Syncthing (Mac), or %LOCALAPPDATA%\Syncthing (Windows). Syncthing also has a database, which is often stored in this directory too. Syncthing uses a single directory to store configuration and crypto keys. Previously the database was always located in the same directory as the config. New in version 1.5.0: Database and config can now be set separately. $HOME/Library/Application Support/Syncthing So I decided to give it a try.Syncthing Configuration Synopsis $HOME/.config/syncthing Make switchover on servers from old directory to new directory.Ensure as many of the files are copied over as possible.Test that everything is working as expected (by adding new files and seeing that they end up in the new directory).Configure and enable lsyncd to start copying.So this would mean our strategy for the switchover would be the following: Meaning that any new files added to the target directory will get removed. The target directory will always be kept in sync with what is on the source directory. Of the set of tools, lsyncd seemed to do what we needed and also seemed easy to set up. I had mostly worked on one time syncs before that were much smaller and so I wasn't sure of which tool to be using (rsyncd, lsyncd, drbd, syncthing, etc) but I got the general idea of what it will be doing in the background (using inotify to notify your daemon of filesystem changes then act on it). We needed a way to continuously sync data from one (or multiple) directories to another. Running rsync was time consuming (it took well over an hour to complete a run, we had run into timeout issues, etc) and after rsync was done, there would be new files that would need to get synced (which meant another hour.which meant another sync.you can see where this is going). But our dataset consisted of over 300 gigs of data (with constant changes to the files being added/deleted). Since we are on AWS, we used this as a opportunity to move away from GlusterFS to EFS (which is Amazon's elastic NFS). Thankfully, the apps that we have on our servers that use these directories have local directories that symlink to the real ones so doing the switchover itself would be pretty simple (remove old symlink replace with symlink to new location) which we'll get into in the next section. However, there were version incompatibilities between the versions of gluster if we upgraded to Ubuntu 16.04 or 18.04 and that meant we could face another crappy situation.
#Where are the versions kept syncthing upgrade#
Until March of this year when Ubuntu 14.04 was no longer going to be supported we needed to upgrade those servers. There has also been version incompatibility issues so that means upgrading our infrastructure to new versions was avoided. When it doesn't, it does so horribly (we have lost data and had to figure out ways to recover it). GlusterFS has had a love-hate relationship in our company. It stored uploaded user files, various versions of our assets, etc. At my workplace, we (used to) use GlusterFS as our NFS between various servers.
