Jakob Borg ccfcdf7f48 cmd/syncthing: Don't compact database at startup
This happens automatically in the background anyway, and it can take a
long time on low powered devices at an inconvenient time. We just want
to get up and running as quickly as possible.

Syncthing

Latest Build (Official) AppVeyor Build API Documentation MPLv2 License

This is the Syncthing project which pursues the following goals:

  1. Define a protocol for synchronization of a folder between a number of collaborating devices. This protocol should be well defined, unambiguous, easily understood, free to use, efficient, secure and language neutral. This is called the Block Exchange Protocol.

  2. Provide the reference implementation to demonstrate the usability of said protocol. This is the syncthing utility. We hope that alternative, compatible implementations of the protocol will arise.

The two are evolving together; the protocol is not to be considered stable until Syncthing 1.0 is released, at which point it is locked down for incompatible changes.

Getting Started

Take a look at the getting started guide.

There are a few examples for keeping Syncthing running in the background on your system in the etc directory. There are also several GUI implementations for Windows, Mac and Linux.

Getting in Touch

The first and best point of contact is the Forum. There is also an IRC channel, #syncthing on freenode (with a web client), for talking directly to developers and users. If you've found something that is clearly a bug, feel free to report it in the GitHub issue tracker.

Building

Building Syncthing from source is easy, and there's a guide 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. Mac OS X binaries are also properly code signed.

Documentation

Please see the Syncthing documentation site.
