SOLVED How to edit Syncthing ssl

[Fred974]

Hi,

I have installed the Syncthing plugin on my TrueNAS. I can access it via http but not https. On my other box (centos) I can control/edit the ssl certificate in the config.xml. I have search the server but I cannot find such file in my plugin jail. I read the forum here and I believe that I should find it in /var/db/syncthing/ . However I have no such directory in my installation.

Could anyone please advise?

Thank you

Are you searching in the host TrueNAS filespace, or inside the plugin's filespace? You'll need to run iocage console syncthing to get a shell in the plugin's filespace.

Hi,

I have connected using iocage console to syncthing and here is /var/db
iocage console Syncthing

According to https://docs.syncthing.net/users/config.html, the config.xml directory is probably the syncthing user's $HOME/.config/syncthing. Try grep syncthing /etc/passwd to see what that $HOME directory is.

 

[Fred974]

iocage console Syncthing
root@Syncthing:~ # grep syncthing /etc/passwd

Code:

syncthing:*:983:983:Syncthing Daemon:/var/tmp/syncthing:/usr/sbin/nologin

As the syncthing has a nologin there is no home directory. I also tried root@Syncthing:/var/tmp # find / -name ".config" but go no results

@Samuel Tai like, you I was taking my doc from the syncthing doc. After more digging, the file is simply in /usr/local/etc/syncthing

Code:

root@Syncthing:/usr/local/etc/syncthing # ls -lah
