This means the creation, modification or deletion of files on one machine will automatically be replicated to your other devices. We believe your data is your data alone and you deserve to choose where it is stored. Therefore Syncthing does not upload your data to the cloud but exchanges your data across your machines as soon as they are online at the same time. .SH OPTIONS .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B \-audit Write events to timestamped file \fBaudit\-YYYYMMDD\-HHMMSS.log\fP\&. .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B \-auditfile= Use specified file or stream (\fB"\-"\fP for stdout, \fB"\-\-"\fP for stderr) for audit events, rather than the timestamped default file name. .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B \-browser\-only Open the web UI in a browser for an already running Syncthing instance. .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B \-device\-id Print device ID to command line. .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B \-generate= Generate key and config in specified dir, then exit. .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B \-gui\-address=
Override GUI listen address. Set this to an address (\fB0.0.0.0:8384\fP) or file path (\fB/var/run/st.sock\fP, for UNIX sockets). .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B \-home= Set common configuration and data directory. The default configuration directory is \fB$HOME/.config/syncthing\fP (Unix\-like), \fB$HOME/Library/Application Support/Syncthing\fP (Mac) and \fB%LOCALAPPDATA%\eSyncthing\fP (Windows). .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B \-config= Set configuration directory. Alternative to \fB\-home\fP and must be used together with \fB\-data\fP\&. .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B \-data= Set data (e.g. database) directory. Alternative to \fB\-home\fP and must be used together with \fB\-config\fP\&. .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B \-logfile= Set destination filename for logging (use \fB"\-"\fP for stdout, which is the default option). .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B \-logflags= Select information in log line prefix. The \fB\-logflags\fP value is a sum of the following: .INDENT 7.0 .IP \(bu 2 1: Date .IP \(bu 2 2: Time .IP \(bu 2 4: Microsecond time .IP \(bu 2 8: Long filename .IP \(bu 2 16: Short filename .UNINDENT .sp To prefix each log line with date and time, set \fB\-logflags=3\fP (1 + 2 from above). The value 0 is used to disable all of the above. The default is to show time only (2). .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B \-no\-browser Do not start a browser. .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B \-no\-console Hide the console window. (On Windows only) .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B \-no\-restart Do not restart Syncthing when it exits. The monitor process will still run to handle crashes and writing to logfiles (if configured to). .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B \-paths Print the paths used for configuration, keys, database, GUI overrides, default sync folder and the log file. .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B \-paused Start with all devices and folders paused. .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B \-reset\-database Reset the database, forcing a full rescan and resync. Create \fI\&.stfolder\fP folders in each sync folder if they do not already exist. \fBCaution\fP: Ensure that all sync folders which are mountpoints are already mounted. Inconsistent versions may result if the mountpoint is later mounted and contains older versions. .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B \-reset\-deltas Reset delta index IDs, forcing a full index exchange. .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B \-unpaused Start with all devices and folders unpaused. .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B \-upgrade Perform upgrade. .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B \-upgrade\-check Check for available upgrade. .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B \-upgrade\-to= Force upgrade directly from specified URL. .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B \-verbose Print verbose log output. .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B \-version Show version. .UNINDENT .SH EXIT CODES .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B 0 Success / Shutdown .TP .B 1 Error .TP .B 2 Upgrade not available .TP .B 3 Restarting .TP .B 4 Upgrading .UNINDENT .sp Exit codes over 125 are usually returned by the shell/binary loader/default signal handler. Exit codes over 128+N on Unix usually represent the signal which caused the process to exit. For example, \fB128 + 9 (SIGKILL) = 137\fP\&. .SH PROXIES .sp Syncthing can use a SOCKS, HTTP, or HTTPS proxy to talk to the outside world. The proxy is used for outgoing connections only \- it is not possible to accept incoming connections through the proxy. The proxy is configured through the environment variable \fBall_proxy\fP\&. Somewhat unusually, this variable must be named in lower case \- it is not “ALL_PROXY”. For example: .INDENT 0.0 .INDENT 3.5 .sp .nf .ft C $ export all_proxy=socks://192.0.2.42:8081 .ft P .fi .UNINDENT .UNINDENT .SH DEVELOPMENT SETTINGS .sp The following environment variables modify Syncthing’s behavior in ways that are mostly useful for developers. Use with care. If you start Syncthing from within service managers like systemd or supervisor, path expansion may not be supported. .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B STTRACE Used to increase the debugging verbosity in specific or all facilities, generally mapping to a Go package. Enabling any of these also enables microsecond timestamps, file names plus line numbers. Enter a comma\-separated string of facilities to trace. \fBsyncthing \-help\fP always outputs an up\-to\-date list. The valid facility strings are: .INDENT 7.0 .TP .B Main and operational facilities: .INDENT 7.0 .TP .B config Configuration loading and saving. .TP .B db The database layer. .TP .B main Main package. .TP .B model The root hub; the largest chunk of the system. File pulling, index transmission and requests for chunks. .TP .B scanner File change detection and hashing. .TP .B versioner File versioning. .UNINDENT .TP .B Networking facilities: .INDENT 7.0 .TP .B beacon Multicast and broadcast UDP discovery packets: Selected interfaces and addresses. .TP .B connections Connection handling. .TP .B dialer Dialing connections. .TP .B discover Remote device discovery requests, replies and registration of devices. .TP .B nat NAT discovery and port mapping. .TP .B pmp NAT\-PMP discovery and port mapping. .TP .B protocol The BEP protocol. .TP .B relay Relay interaction (\fBstrelaysrv\fP). .TP .B upnp UPnP discovery and port mapping. .UNINDENT .TP .B Other facilities: .INDENT 7.0 .TP .B fs Filesystem access. .TP .B events Event generation and logging. .TP .B http REST API. .TP .B sha256 SHA256 hashing package (this facility currently unused). .TP .B stats Persistent device and folder statistics. .TP .B sync Mutexes. Used for debugging race conditions and deadlocks. .TP .B upgrade Binary upgrades. .TP .B walkfs Filesystem access while walking. .TP .B all All of the above. .UNINDENT .UNINDENT .TP .B STBLOCKPROFILE Write block profiles to \fBblock\-$pid\-$timestamp.pprof\fP every 20 seconds. .TP .B STCPUPROFILE Write a CPU profile to \fBcpu\-$pid.pprof\fP on exit. .TP .B STDEADLOCKTIMEOUT Used for debugging internal deadlocks; sets debug sensitivity. Use only under direction of a developer. .TP .B STDEADLOCKTHRESHOLD Used for debugging internal deadlocks; sets debug sensitivity. Use only under direction of a developer. .TP .B STGUIASSETS Directory to load GUI assets from. Overrides compiled in assets. Useful for developing webgui, commonly use \fBSTGUIASSETS=gui bin/syncthing\fP\&. .TP .B STHASHING Specify which hashing package to use. Defaults to automatic based on performance. Specify “minio” (compatibility) or “standard” for the default Go implementation. .TP .B STHEAPPROFILE Write heap profiles to \fBheap\-$pid\-$timestamp.pprof\fP each time heap usage increases. .TP .B STNODEFAULTFOLDER Don’t create a default folder when starting for the first time. This variable will be ignored anytime after the first run. .TP .B STNORESTART Equivalent to the \fB\-no\-restart\fP flag .TP .B STNOUPGRADE Disable automatic upgrades. .TP .B STPROFILER Set to a listen address such as “127.0.0.1:9090” to start the profiler with HTTP access, which then can be reached at \fI\%http://localhost:9090/debug/pprof\fP\&. See \fBgo tool pprof\fP for more information. .TP .B STPERFSTATS Write running performance statistics to \fBperf\-$pid.csv\fP\&. Not supported on Windows. .TP .B STRECHECKDBEVERY Time before folder statistics (file, dir, … counts) are recalculated from scratch. The given duration must be parseable by Go’s time.ParseDuration. If missing or not parseable, the default value of 1 month is used. To force recalculation on every startup, set it to \fB1s\fP\&. .TP .B GOMAXPROCS Set the maximum number of CPU cores to use. Defaults to all available CPU cores. .TP .B GOGC Percentage of heap growth at which to trigger GC. Default is 100. Lower numbers keep peak memory usage down, at the price of CPU usage (i.e. performance). .UNINDENT .SH SEE ALSO .sp \fBsyncthing\-config(5)\fP, \fBsyncthing\-stignore(5)\fP, \fBsyncthing\-device\-ids(7)\fP, \fBsyncthing\-security(7)\fP, \fBsyncthing\-networking(7)\fP, \fBsyncthing\-versioning(7)\fP, \fBsyncthing\-faq(7)\fP .SH AUTHOR The Syncthing Authors .SH COPYRIGHT 2014-2019, The Syncthing Authors .\" Generated by docutils manpage writer. .
