.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.sp
|
|
Syncthing relies on a discovery server to find peers on the internet. Anyone
|
|
can run a discovery server and point Syncthing installations to it. The
|
|
Syncthing project also maintains a global cluster for public use.

.SH POINTING SYNCTHING AT YOUR DISCOVERY SERVER
|
|
.sp
|
|
By default, Syncthing uses a number of global discovery servers, signified by
|
|
the entry \fBdefault\fP in the list of discovery servers. To make Syncthing use
|
|
your own instance of stdiscosrv, open up Syncthing\(aqs web GUI. Go to settings,
|
|
Global Discovery Server and add stdiscosrv\(aqs host address to the comma\-separated
|
|
list, e.g. \fBhttps://disco.example.com:8443/\fP\&. Note that stdiscosrv uses port
|
|
8443 by default. For stdiscosrv to be available over the internet with a dynamic
|
|
IP address, you will need a dynamic DNS service.
|
|
.sp
|
|
Deprecated since version v0.14.44: Prior versions need \fB/v2/\fP appended to the discovery
|
|
server address, e.g. \fBhttps://disco.example.com:8443/v2/\fP\&.
|
|
|
|
.sp
|
|
If you wish to use \fIonly\fP your own discovery server, remove the \fBdefault\fP
|
|
entry from the list.
|
|
.SH SETTING UP
|
|
.SS Description
|
|
.sp
|
|
This guide assumes that you have already set up Syncthing. If you
|
|
haven\(aqt yet, head over to getting\-started first.
|
|
.SS Installing
|
|
.sp
|
|
Go to \fI\%releases\fP <\fBhttps://github.com/syncthing/discosrv/releases\fP> and
|
|
download the file appropriate for your operating system. Unpacking it will
|
|
yield a binary called \fBstdiscosrv\fP (or \fBstdiscosrv.exe\fP on Windows).
|
|
Start this in whatever way you are most comfortable with; double clicking
|
|
should work in any graphical environment. At first start, stdiscosrv will
|
|
generate certificate files and database in the current directory unless
|
|
given flags to the contrary.
|
|
.SS Configuring
|
|
.sp
|
|
\fBNOTE:\fP
|
|
.INDENT 0.0
|
|
.INDENT 3.5
|
|
If you are running an instance of Syncthing on the discovery server,
|
|
you must either add that instance to other devices using a static
|
|
address or bind the discovery server and Syncthing instances to
|
|
different IP addresses.
|
|
.UNINDENT
|
|
.UNINDENT
|
|
.SS Certificates
|
|
.sp
|
|
The discovery server provides service over HTTPS. To ensure secure connections
|
|
from clients there are three options:
|
|
.INDENT 0.0
|
|
.IP \(bu 2
|
|
Use a CA\-signed certificate pair for the domain name you will use for the
|
|
discovery server. This is like any other HTTPS website; clients will
|
|
authenticate the server based on its certificate and domain name.
|
|
.IP \(bu 2
|
|
Use any certificate pair and let clients authenticate the server based on
|
|
its "device ID" (similar to Syncthing\-to\-Syncthing authentication). This
|
|
option can be used with the certificate automatically generated by the
|
|
discovery server.
|
|
.IP \(bu 2
|
|
Pass the \fB\-http\fP flag if the discovery server is behind an SSL\-secured
|
|
reverse proxy. See below for configuration.
|
|
.UNINDENT
|
|
.sp
|
|
For the first two options, the discovery server must be given the paths to
|
|
the certificate and key at startup. This isn\(aqt necessary with the \fBhttp\fP flag:
|
|
.INDENT 0.0
|
|
.INDENT 3.5
|
|
.sp
|
|
.nf
|
|
.ft C
|
|
$ stdiscosrv \-cert=/path/to/cert.pem \-key=/path/to/key.pem
|
|
Server device ID is 7DDRT7J\-UICR4PM\-PBIZYL3\-MZOJ7X7\-EX56JP6\-IK6HHMW\-S7EK32W\-G3EUPQA
|
|
.ft P
|
|
.fi
|
|
.UNINDENT
|
|
.UNINDENT
|
|
.sp
|
|
The discovery server prints its device ID at startup. In case you are using
|
|
a non CA signed certificate, this device ID (fingerprint) must be given to
|
|
the clients in the discovery server URL:
|
|
.INDENT 0.0
|
|
.INDENT 3.5
|
|
.sp
|
|
.nf
|
|
.ft C
|
|
https://disco.example.com:8443/?id=7DDRT7J\-UICR4PM\-PBIZYL3\-MZOJ7X7\-EX56JP6\-IK6HHMW\-S7EK32W\-G3EUPQA
|
|
.ft P
|
|
.fi
|
|
.UNINDENT
|
|
.UNINDENT
|
|
.sp
|
|
Otherwise, the URL will be:
|
|
.INDENT 0.0
|
|
.INDENT 3.5
|
|
.sp
|
|
.nf
|
|
.ft C
|

https://disco.example.com:8443/

.ft P

|
|
.UNINDENT
|
|
.UNINDENT
|
|
.SS Replication
|
|
.sp
|
|
The discovery server can be deployed in a redundant, load sharing fashion.
|
|
In this mode announcements are replicated from the server that receives them
|
|
to other peer servers and queries can be answered equally by all servers.
|
|
.sp
|
|
Replication connections are encrypted and authenticated using TLS. The
|
|
certificate is selected by the \fB\-cert\fP and \fB\-key\fP options and is thus
|
|
shared with the main discovery API. If the \fB\-http\fP mode is used the
|
|
certificate is not used for client requests but only for replication
|
|
connections.
|
|
.sp
|
|
Authentication of replication connections is done using \fI\%Syncthing\-style
|
|
device IDs\fP <\fBhttps://docs.syncthing.net/dev/device-ids.html#id1\fP> only \- CA
|
|
verification is not available. The device IDs in question are those printed
|
|
by the discovery server on startup.
|
|
.sp
|
|
Replication connections are unidirectional \- announcements are replication
|
|
from the \fBsender\fP to a \fBlistener\fP\&. In order to have a bidirectional
|
|
replication relationship between two servers both need to be configured as
|
|
sender and listener.
|
|
.sp
|
|
As an example, lets assume two discovery servers:
|
|
.INDENT 0.0
|
|
.IP \(bu 2
|
|
Server one is on 192.0.2.20 and has certificate ID I6K...H76
|
|
.IP \(bu 2
|
|
Server two is on 192.0.2.55 and has certificate ID MRI...7OK
|
|
.UNINDENT
|
|
.sp
|
|
In order for both to replicate to the other and thus form a redundant pair,
|
|
use the following commands.
|
|
.sp
|
|
On server one:
|
|
.INDENT 0.0
|
|
.INDENT 3.5
|
|
.sp
|
|
.nf
|
|
.ft C
|
|
$ stdiscosrv \-replicate=MRI...7OK@192.0.2.55:19200 <other options>
|
|
.ft P
|
|
.fi
|
|
.UNINDENT
|
|
.UNINDENT
|
|
.sp
|
|
On server two:
|
|
.INDENT 0.0
|
|
.INDENT 3.5
|
|
.sp
|
|
.nf
|
|
.ft C
|
|
$ stdiscosrv \-replicate=I6K...H76@192.0.2.20:19200 <other options>
|
|
.ft P
|
|
.fi
|
|
.UNINDENT
|
|
.UNINDENT
|
|
.sp
|
|
The \fB\-replicate\fP directive sets which remote device IDs are expected and
|
|
allowed for both outgoing (sending) and incoming (listening) connections,
|
|
and which addresses to use when connecting out to those peers. Both IP and
|
|
port must be specified in peer addresses.
|
|
.sp
|
|
It is possible to only allow incoming connections from a peer without
|
|
establishing an outgoing replication connection. To do so, give only the
|
|
device ID without "@ip:port" address:
|
|
.INDENT 0.0
|
|
.INDENT 3.5
|
|
.sp
|
|
.nf
|
|
.ft C
|
|
$ stdiscosrv \-replicate=I6K...H76 <other options>
|
|
.ft P
|
|
.fi
|
|
.UNINDENT
|
|
.UNINDENT
|
|
.sp
|
|
Discosrv will listen on the replication port only when \fB\-replicate\fP is
|
|
given. The default replication listen address is ":19200".
|
|
.sp
|
|
To achieve load balancing over two mutually replicating discovery server
|
|
instances, add multiple A / AAAA DNS records for a given name and point
|
|
Syncthing towards this name. The same certificate must be used on both
|
|
discovery servers.
|
|
.SS Reverse Proxy Setup
|
|
.sp
|
|
The discovery server can be run behind an SSL\-secured reverse proxy. This
|
|
allows:
|
|
.INDENT 0.0
|
|
.IP \(bu 2
|
|
Use of a subdomain name without requiring a port number added to the URL
|
|
.IP \(bu 2
|
|
Sharing an SSL certificate with multiple services on the same server
|
|
.UNINDENT
|
|
.SS Requirements
|
|
.INDENT 0.0
|
|
.IP \(bu 2
|
|
Run the discovery server using the \-http flag \fBstdiscosrv \-http\fP\&.
|
|
.IP \(bu 2
|
|
SSL certificate/key configured for the reverse proxy
|
|
.IP \(bu 2
|
|
The "X\-Forwarded\-For" http header must be passed through with the client\(aqs
|
|
real IP address
|
|
.IP \(bu 2
|
|
The "X\-SSL\-Cert" must be passed through with the PEM\-encoded client SSL
|
|
certificate
|
|
.IP \(bu 2
|
|
The proxy must request the client SSL certificate but not require it to be
|
|
signed by a trusted CA.
|
|
.UNINDENT
|
|
.SS Nginx
|
|
.sp
|
|
These three lines in the configuration take care of the last three requirements
|
|
listed above:
|
|
.INDENT 0.0
|
|
.INDENT 3.5
|
|
.sp
|
|
