I'd really recommend giving Syncthing a second chance, twist a few knobs in the settings until it works. I've used it for years with barely a hitch.
Do you use it on a phone too? I did find it tricky to set up (more options than I really need, and the phone app settings don't really work unless you select "Web UI", which is really strange), but I didn't mind the setup if I could then leave it alone and it works. Ideally I want to set this up on other family phones, so I can update notes and they appear everywhere.
I keep multiple phones in sync, with hundreds of gigs synced every day.
Have you found a way to get rid of the notification and keep Syncthing running in background?
Just hide it in your OS notification settings
But in this way I don't get any notification if something goes wrong
I think any issues would show in "other"
Daaaaamn, was that so easy to just disable "Syncthing active"?
Let's try! Thanks
For me that can be more specific. If I select the offending notification (either in the settings for notifications history or directly in the notification area) I can disable that specific type of notification. For instance deals from Amazon or eBay or something like connection established from tailscale.
Are you sure that there are different type of notification for Syncthing? Have you disable the persistent one and still received a failed sync one (or something else)?
Tbh no I am not sure for synching. But I thought it was the case there as well.
Good to know. If I can get it working reliably, it will be worth sticking with. Someone suggested it might just not be auto-starting on reboots. I'm trying the fork of the UI on f-droid to see if it helps.
