Syncthing QPKG builder

This repository includes build scripts for building Syncthing QPKG for use in QNAP NAS.

Build

The build depends on Docker and make. All other build dependencies are downloaded in the Docker containers. To invoke the build, run make out/pkg. This builds Syncthing QPKG for different platforms and stores them in out/pkg.

By default, the v1.27.3 Syncthing release is built. To configure the release number, set the environment variable SYNCTHING_TAG to the release number, e.g. SYNCTHING_TAG=v1.27.3 make out/pkg.

By default, syncthing uses the user syncthing, which needs to be created on the QNAP manually before the installation of syncthing. To configure the user used to store the sync-ed data, set the environment variable SYNCTHING_USER, e.g. SYNCTHING_USER=myuser make out/pkg.

By default, syncthing uses the port 8384 for its UI. To configure the port, set the environment variable SYNCTHING_UI_PORT, e.g. SYNCTHING_UI_PORT=8384 make out/pkg.

Alternatively, the automatically built packages can be download from Github Actions. Packages are built once a week.

Installation

1. Create a user named syncthing (or whatever you have defined in SYNCTHING_USER) on the QNAP.
2. Manually install Syncthing package in QNAP App Center.
3. Access the Syncthing UI via the Syncthing entry in the QNAP menu or access it directly on http://<ip of your QNAP>:8384/ (use the port defined in SYNCTHING_UI_PORT).
4. Set a username and password for the Syncthing UI.
