Syncthing


MPLv2 License CII Best Practices Go Report Card

Goals

Syncthing is a continuous file synchronization program. It synchronizes files between two or more computers. We strive to fulfill the goals below. The goals are listed in order of importance, the most important ones first. This is the summary version of the goal list - for more commentary, see the full Goals document.

Syncthing should be:

  1. Safe From Data Loss

    Protecting the user's data is paramount. We take every reasonable precaution to avoid corrupting the user's files.

  2. Secure Against Attackers

    Again, protecting the user's data is paramount. Regardless of our other goals, we must never allow the user's data to be susceptible to eavesdropping or modification by unauthorized parties.

  3. Easy to Use

    Syncthing should be approachable, understandable, and inclusive.

  4. Automatic

    User interaction should be required only when absolutely necessary.

  5. Universally Available

    Syncthing should run on every common computer. We are mindful that the latest technology is not always available to every individual.

  6. For Individuals

    Syncthing is primarily about empowering the individual user with safe, secure, and easy to use file synchronization.

  7. Everything Else

    There are many things we care about that don't make it on to the list. It is fine to optimize for these values, as long as they are not in conflict with the stated goals above.

Getting Started

Take a look at the getting started guide.

There are a few examples for keeping Syncthing running in the background on your system in the etc directory. There are also several GUI implementations for Windows, Mac, and Linux.

Docker

To run Syncthing in Docker, see the Docker README.

Getting in Touch

The first and best point of contact is the Forum. If you've found something that is clearly a bug, feel free to report it in the GitHub issue tracker.

If you believe that you’ve found a Syncthing-related security vulnerability, please report it by emailing [email protected]. Do not report it in the Forum or issue tracker.

Building

Building Syncthing from source is easy. After extracting the source bundle from a release or checking out git, you just need to run go run build.go and the binaries are created in ./bin. There's a guide with more details on the build process.

Signed Releases

As of v0.10.15 and onwards, release binaries are GPG signed with the key D26E6ED000654A3E, available from https://syncthing.net/security/ and most key servers.

There is also a built-in automatic upgrade mechanism (disabled in some distribution channels) which uses a compiled in ECDSA signature. macOS binaries are also properly code signed.

Documentation

Please see the Syncthing documentation site [source].

Fix link on badge for F-Droid

Include video setup tutorial

A short (2-3m max.) video tutorial would be a great replacement for the UI picture. It should introduce the concept of devices and folders, while showing the necessary steps on two machines (maybe one Windows, the other Mac for clarity) to sync a folder between them.

I'd volunteer to create the video, but ideally a native speaker should do the voice over. @Nutomic would/could also use this for promotional purposes on google play.

Syncthing website dislikes Tor

I typically web browse using Tor. When I go to http://syncthing.net/, I get an "Attention Required!" CAPTCHA screen. What I want is for the site to load normally. There should not be a CAPTCHA.

This is a pretty big problem. One reason we like syncthing is because it gives us control over our own data, but when that website denies Tor access, well, yowza! :-o

Why are we using cloudflare?

Is there any good reason for using Cloudflare? I'm not aware that we suffered from any major DDOS attacks, but because of that the website is often a pain to use over TOR.

And people who don't want to execute sideloaded JS from everywhere by using tools like NoScript also have to jump trough hoops and allow a whole CDN, which in turn completely undermines using something like NoScript in the first place.

This is especially difficult to understand as Syncthing aims to lower peoples reliance on centralized services, but uses one of the biggest ones out there. The irony is quiet painful to say the least.

Stripe donations not working

Unsure if this is the right place to post this (since happened on the website, thought was worth report to the website codebase) 😉

Tried give a donation using Stripe, but received an error after submitting:

To my bad, had the network panel closed, so don't know precisely where the error is coming from.

Thank you.

Apt commands will fail without root or sudo

It might be good to note that apt-key requires sudo or root. Or perhaps the command could be displayed on-page as:

# Add the release PGP keys:
curl -s https://syncthing.net/release-key.txt | sudo apt-key add -

For adding to /etc/apt/sources.list a similar problem is encountered, root is required with the current command, however a sudo only option should probably be displayed on-page such as one of the following:

echo "deb http://apt.syncthing.net/ syncthing release" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list
sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://apt.syncthing.net/ syncthing release" >> /etc/apt/sources.list'
echo "deb http://apt.syncthing.net/ syncthing release" | sudo sh -c 'cat >> /etc/apt/sources.list'

See: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/850730 and https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1584066

However an alternate (and better option in my opinion) is to add a syncthing specific sources list:

echo "deb http://apt.syncthing.net/ syncthing release" >/tmp/syncthing.list
sudo cp /tmp/syncthing.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/

See: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1584066

german translation of website text

Moin (as we say here),

not everyone here is able to read and understand english text, but syncting should be for everyone. The UI is perfectly translated but the website is not. I have just finished some translation (with including some explenations of probably also for englisch speaking peope unknown terms) and would like to see if it is taking as a start to transform the website (which is only one page tho shouldnt be to difficult) to a multilingual document for everyone to read and ujnderstand.

Syncthing is already in debian!

Syncthing is already in debian.
You should point debian user to the system package first
Moreover there should be an explaination for the reason of separate repository.

Translations

It seems like the website is currently only available in English. I think it would be good if we had translations for different languages.

Website should force https

Homepage link to "Debian / Ubuntu packages" points to: http://apt.syncthing.net

If users copy / paste commands from there they could easily be tricked into installing malware via MITM.

This is a serious security concern.

Fix:

  1. Force all insecure requests to be secure.
  2. Fix all links to remove http: prefix so that users are not hitting server twice. Eg: //apt.syncthing.net or force all links by explicitly using https: if you wahnt to be 100% sure.

debian repository keys

It's better to put .asc or .gpg file into `/etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d``` like

sudo wget -O /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/syncthing.asc https://syncthing.net/release-key.txt

instead of apt-key add

curl -s https://syncthing.net/release-key.txt | sudo apt-key add -

man APT-KEY(8):

Note: Instead of using this command a keyring should be placed directly in the /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/ directory with a descriptive name and either "gpg" or "asc" as file extension.
