better off using something else I have same issue as you and this issue feels like a repeat issue I had years ago and it could take months or years to resolve if they are still improving things really slowly.

I tested the water with my syncthing 1.30 on Ubuntu 24.04 and it was a total failure. stystemctl shows the service failed after the install via apt. Returned to the older version and everything is fine again.

I love syncthing but share your sentiment as well.

Only if you don’t care about your time and sanity would you love this mess of a software. Self hosting it is a nightmare. Not touching it again even with a ten foot pole.

You’ve never used Syncthing, but you expect us to respect your opinion on the project? I’ve never used your Mom. Should you respect my feelings on her? lol

This is such a a terrible collection thoughts. You haven’t used this update. It sounds like you possibly never used the product at all. You haven’t used the product you’re comparing it to in a long time. You give no code or architecture specifics on what is better or worse. Negative criticism requires more. Do better.

This is like comparing apples to oranges. Syncthing is open source, your chosen solution based on your personal feelings is not

I have never used syncthing and probably never would since this software does not have a very good history of ongoing real project support over time. If I was going to use something like this I would probably just use resilio sync which is a lot better version of this and most likely more secure. Resilio sync was called something else prior to that name and when they commercialized it syncthing was basically a project in response to that but in my opinion it never compared to resilio sync when in came to how it did things since it did things differently and not as securely in my opinion plus resilio sync has always been free for personal use and is way better supported. I have not used resilio sync in forever but I was around when these things first started and remember using a official ppa for resilio sync.

My main (windows) PC has media in shared directories. I mount these in Linux, as read only.
Then, I use *rsync* to update Linux copies. Main PC goes off-line, and Jellyfin now has a new subset of media to choose from.
No windows hosted software required.
