## Description
Creates a Syncthing qube named "sys-syncthing", it will be attached to the
"default_netvm". It makes no sense to run this with "sys-syncthing" attached
to a VPN or Tor proxy.
This package opens up the qubes-firewall, so that the "sys-syncthing" qube is
accessible externally.
## Installation
* Top:
```sh
sudo qubesctl top.enable sys-syncthing browser
sudo qubesctl --targets=tpl-browser,sys-syncthing-browser,tpl-sys-syncthing,sys-syncthing state.apply
sudo qubesctl top.disable sys-syncthing browser
sudo qubesctl state.apply sys-syncthing.appmenus
qvm-port-forward -a add -q sys-syncthing -n tcp -p 22000
qvm-port-forward -a add -q sys-syncthing -n udp -p 22000
```
* State:
<!-- pkg:begin:post-install -->
```sh
sudo qubesctl state.apply sys-syncthing.create
sudo qubesctl --skip-dom0 --targets=tpl-browser state.apply browser.install
sudo qubesctl --skip-dom0 --targets=tpl-sys-syncthing state.apply sys-syncthing.install
sudo qubesctl --skip-dom0 --targets=sys-syncthing state.apply sys-syncthing.configure
sudo qubesctl --skip-dom0 --targets=sys-syncthing-browser state.apply sys-syncthing.configure-browser
sudo qubesctl state.apply sys-syncthing.appmenus
qvm-port-forward -a add -q sys-syncthing -n tcp -p 22000
qvm-port-forward -a add -q sys-syncthing -n udp -p 22000
```
<!-- pkg:end:post-install -->
Install Syncthing on the client template:
```sh
sudo qubesctl --skip-dom0 --targets=TEMPLATE state.apply sys-syncthing.install-client
```
The client qube requires the split Syncthing and the Syncthing Daemon service
to be enabled:
```sh
qvm-features QUBE service.syncthing-client 1
qvm-features QUBE service.syncthing-server 1
```
## Access Control
A `qusal.Syncthing` service is created to allow use of Syncthing over
Qrexec. The default policy `asks` if you want to sync with the `sys-syncthing`
qube.
If you want to `allow` Syncthing between qubes, insert in you user policy file
`/etc/qubes/policy.d/30-user.policy` to allow the service using the following
format:
```qrexecpolicy
qusal.Syncthing * SOURCE @default allow target=DESTINATION default_target=DEFAULT_DESTINATION
```
## Usage
The Syncthing WebUI address is `http://127.0.0.1:8384`.
If you want to view statistics or manage the server through a GUI, open
`sys-syncthing` or `sys-syncthing-browser` desktop file
`syncthing-browser.desktop` from the app menu. Addresses starting with `http`
or `https` will be redirected to `sys-syncthing-browser`.
To use the service, from the client, add a `Remote Device`, and copy the
`Device ID` from the server qube, on the `Advanced` tab, under `Addresses`,
change `dynamic` to `tcp://127.0.0.1:22001`
If the sender qube has no netvm set, under `Settings`, disable `Enable NAT
traversal`, `Local Discovery`, `Global Discovery`, and `Enable Relaying`
## Debugging
If sys-net has more than one network card the first external interface will be
used by default. If this is incorrect, you must change it manually. In Dom0
run:
```sh
qvm-port-forward -a del -q sys-syncthing -n udp -p 22000
qvm-port-forward -a del -q sys-syncthing -n tcp -p 22000
qvm-port-forward -a add -q sys-syncthing -n udp -p 22000
qvm-port-forward -a add -q sys-syncthing -n tcp -p 22000
```
This will let you choose the NIC.
## Uninstallation
The `sys-syncthing` qube will not be removed, but the Syncthing service on
that qube will be stopped. The firewall rules will be reverted so the qube
will not be accessible externally. Note: If you have manually set rules you
must manually revert them. The Qrexec policy will be reverted to stop
Syncthing between qubes.
Uninstallation procedure:
<!-- pkg:begin:preun-uninstall -->
```sh
qvm-port-forward -a del -q sys-syncthing -n tcp -p 22000
qvm-port-forward -a del -q sys-syncthing -n udp -p 22000
sudo qubesctl state.apply sys-syncthing.clean
```
<!-- pkg:end:preun-uninstall -->
