linuxserver/syncthing
Syncthing replaces proprietary sync and cloud services with something open, trustworthy and decentralized. Your data is your data alone and you deserve to choose where it is stored, if it is shared with some third party and how it's transmitted over the Internet.
Supported Architectures
Our images support multiple architectures such as x86-64
, arm64
and armhf
. We utilise the docker manifest for multi-platform awareness. More information is available from docker here and our announcement here.
Simply pulling ghcr.io/linuxserver/syncthing
should retrieve the correct image for your arch, but you can also pull specific arch images via tags.
The architectures supported by this image are:
Architecture | Tag |
---|---|
x86-64 | amd64-latest |
arm64 | arm64v8-latest |
armhf | arm32v7-latest |
Usage
Here are some example snippets to help you get started creating a container from this image.
docker-compose (recommended)
Compatible with docker-compose v2 schemas.
---
version: "2.1"
services:
syncthing:
image: ghcr.io/linuxserver/syncthing
container_name: syncthing
hostname: syncthing #optional
environment:
- PUID=1000
- PGID=1000
- TZ=Europe/London
volumes:
- /path/to/appdata/config:/config
- /path/to/data1:/data1
- /path/to/data2:/data2

docker cli
docker run -d \
--name=syncthing \
--hostname=syncthing `#optional` \
-e PUID=1000 \

Parameters
Docker images are configured using parameters passed at runtime (such as those above). These parameters are separated by a colon and indicate <external>:<internal>
respectively. For example, -p 8080:80
would expose port 80
from inside the container to be accessible from the host's IP on port 8080
outside the container.

Miscellaneous Options
Parameter | Function |

Optionally the hostname can be defined. |
Environment variables from files (Docker secrets)
You can set any environment variable from a file by using a special prepend FILE__
.
As an example:
-e FILE__PASSWORD=/run/secrets/mysecretpassword
Will set the environment variable PASSWORD
based on the contents of the /run/secrets/mysecretpassword
file.
Umask for running applications
For all of our images we provide the ability to override the default umask settings for services started within the containers using the optional -e UMASK=022
setting.
Keep in mind umask is not chmod it subtracts from permissions based on it's value it does not add. Please read up here before asking for support.
User / Group Identifiers
When using volumes (-v
flags), permissions issues can arise between the host OS and the container, we avoid this issue by allowing you to specify the user PUID
and group PGID
.
Ensure any volume directories on the host are owned by the same user you specify and any permissions issues will vanish like magic.
In this instance PUID=1000
and PGID=1000
, to find yours use id user
as below:
$ id username
uid=1000(dockeruser) gid=1000(dockergroup) groups=1000(dockergroup)
Application Setup
**Note: ** The Syncthing devs highly suggest setting a password for this container as it listens on 0.0.0.0. To do this go to Actions -> Settings -> set user/password
for the webUI.
Docker Mods
We publish various Docker Mods to enable additional functionality within the containers. The list of Mods available for this image (if any) as well as universal mods that can be applied to any one of our images can be accessed via the dynamic badges above.
Support Info
- Shell access whilst the container is running:
docker exec -it syncthing /bin/bash
- To monitor the logs of the container in realtime:
docker logs -f syncthing
- Container version number
docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' syncthing
- Image version number
docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' ghcr.io/linuxserver/syncthing
