## Goals
|
|
|
|
Syncthing is a **continuous file synchronization program**. It synchronizes
|
|
files between two or more computers. We strive to fulfill the goals below.
|
|
The goals are listed in order of importance, the most important one being
|
|
the first. This is the summary version of the goal list - for more
|
|
commentary, see the full [Goals document][13].
|
|
|
|
Syncthing should be:
|
|
|
|
1. **Safe From Data Loss**
|
|
|
|
Protecting the user's data is paramount. We take every reasonable
|
|
precaution to avoid corrupting the user's files.
|
|
|
|
2. **Secure Against Attackers**
|
|
|
|
Again, protecting the user's data is paramount. Regardless of our other
|
|
goals we must never allow the user's data to be susceptible to
|
|
eavesdropping or modification by unauthorized parties.
|
|
|
|
3. **Easy to Use**
|
|
|
|
Syncthing should be approachable, understandable and inclusive.
|
|
|
|
4. **Automatic**
|
|
|
|
User interaction should be required only when absolutely necessary.
|
|
|
|
5. **Universally Available**
|
|
|
|
Syncthing should run on every common computer. We are mindful that the
|
|
latest technology is not always available to any given individual.
|
|
|
|
6. **For Individuals**
|
|
|
|
Syncthing is primarily about empowering the individual user with safe,
|
|
secure and easy to use file synchronization.
|
|
|
|
7. **Everything Else**
|
|
|
|
There are many things we care about that don't make it on to the list. It
|
|
is fine to optimize for these values, as long as they are not in conflict
|
|
with the stated goals above.
|
|
|
|
## Getting Started
|
|
|
|
Take a look at the [getting started guide][2].
|
|
|
|
There are a few examples for keeping Syncthing running in the background
|
|
on your system in [the etc directory][3]. There are also several [GUI
|
|
implementations][11] for Windows, Mac and Linux.
|
|
|
|
## Docker
|
|
|
|
To run Syncthing in Docker, see [the Docker README][16].
|
|
|
|
## Vote on features/bugs
|
|
|
|
We'd like to encourage you to [vote][12] on issues that matter to you.
|
|
This helps the team understand what are the biggest pain points for our users, and could potentially influence what is being worked on next.
|
|
|
|
## Getting in Touch
|
|
|
|
The first and best point of contact is the [Forum][8].
|
|
If you've found something that is clearly a
|
|
bug, feel free to report it in the [GitHub issue tracker][10].
|
|
|
|
## Building
|
|
|
|
Building Syncthing from source is easy, and there's [a guide][5]
|
|
that describes it for both Unix and Windows systems.
|
|
|
|
## Signed Releases
|
|
|
|
As of v0.10.15 and onwards release binaries are GPG signed with the key
|
|
D26E6ED000654A3E, available from https://syncthing.net/security.html and
|
|
most key servers.
|
|
|
|
There is also a built in automatic upgrade mechanism (disabled in some
|
|
distribution channels) which uses a compiled in ECDSA signature. macOS
|
|
binaries are also properly code signed.
|
|
|
|
