How to install Syncthing

Syncthing is peer-to-peer synchronisation between your own machines. The project is developed in the open and released under its own licence.

About the project

Syncthing is peer-to-peer synchronisation between your own machines. The maintainers own the project, choose releases, and publish their own documentation. This page records a few things worth knowing before you begin.

Governance sits with the project's own team. They decide what ships, how often it ships, and which platforms are supported.

How releases reach a machine

Projects of this kind are usually reached through the operating system's package index, through a language-specific registry, or by building the published source tree. Which route applies depends on the platform and on the maintainers' own guidance.

Before you start

Confirm the platform is supported by the current release. Tooling in this space moves quickly, and an older system often falls outside the supported range.

Afterwards

Most surprises here come down to path ordering or to two copies being present at once. Checking which one resolves first usually explains the difference.
