NAME
syncthing-config - Syncthing Configuration
SYNOPSIS
$HOME/.config/syncthing
$HOME/Library/Application Support/Syncthing
%AppData%/Syncthing
%localappdata%/Syncthing
DESCRIPTION
Syncthing uses a single directory to store configuration, crypto keys and index caches. The location
defaults to $HOME/.config/syncthing (Unix-like), $HOME/Library/Application Support/Syncthing (Mac),
%AppData%/Syncthing (Windows XP) or %LocalAppData%/Syncthing (Windows 7+). It can be changed at runtime
using the -home flag. In this directory the following files are located:
config.xml
The configuration file, in XML format.
cert.pem, key.pem
The device’s RSA public and private key. These form the basis for the device ID. The key must be
kept private.
https-cert.pem, https-key.pem
The certificate and key for HTTPS GUI connections. These may be replaced with a custom certificate
for HTTPS as desired.
index-*.db
A directory holding the database with metadata and hashes of the files currently on disk and
available from peers.
csrftokens.txt
A list of recently issued CSRF tokens (for protection against browser cross site request forgery).
CONFIG FILE FORMAT
The following shows an example of the default configuration file (IDs will differ):

<ignoredFolder>bd7q3-zskm5</ignoredDevice>
</configuration>
This is the root element. It has one attribute:
version
The config version. Increments whenever a change is made that requires migration from previous
formats.
It contains the elements described in the following sections and these two additional child elements:
ignoredDevice
Contains the ID of the device that should be ignored. Connection attempts from this device are
logged to the console but never displayed in the web GUI.
ignoredFolder
Contains the ID of the folder that should be ignored. This folder will always be skipped when
advertised from a remote device, i.e. this will be logged, but there will be no dialog about it in
the web GUI.
FOLDER ELEMENT
<folder id="zj2AA-q55a7" label="Default Folder" path="/Users/jb/Sync/" type="readwrite" rescanIntervalS="60" fsWatcherEnabled="false" fsWatcherDelayS="10" ignorePerms="false" autoNormalize="true">

</folder>
One or more folder elements must be present in the file. Each element describes one folder. The following
attributes may be set on the folder element:
id The folder ID, must be unique. (mandatory)
label The label of a folder is a human readable and descriptive local name. May be different on each
device, empty, and/or identical to other folder labels. (optional)
path The path to the directory where the folder is stored on this device; not sent to other devices.
(mandatory)
type Controls how the folder is handled by Syncthing. Possible values are:
readwrite
The folder is in default mode. Sending local and accepting remote changes.
readonly
The folder is in “send-only” mode – it will not be modified by Syncthing on this device.
rescanIntervalS
The rescan interval, in seconds. Can be set to zero to disable when external plugins are used to
trigger rescans.
fsWatcherEnabled
If enabled this detects changes to files in the folder and scans them.
fsWatcherDelayS
The duration during which changes detected are accumulated, before a scan is scheduled (only takes
effect if fsWatcherEnabled is true).
ignorePerms
True if the folder should ignore permissions.
autoNormalize
Automatically correct UTF-8 normalization errors found in file names.
The following child elements may exist:
device These must have the id attribute and can have an introducedBy attribute, identifying the device
that introduced us to share this folder with the given device. If the original introducer
unshares this folder with this device, our device will follow and unshare the folder (subject to
skipIntroductionRemovals being false on the introducer device). All mentioned devices are those
that will be sharing the folder in question. Each mentioned device must have a separate device
element later in the file. It is customary that the local device ID is included in all folders.
Syncthing will currently add this automatically if it is not present in the configuration file.
minDiskFree
The minimum required free space that should be available on the disk this folder resides. The
folder will be stopped when the value drops below the threshold. Accepted units are %, kB, MB, GB
and TB. Set to zero to disable.
versioning
Specifies a versioning configuration.
SEE ALSO:
versioning
copiers, pullers, hashers
The number of copier, puller and hasher routines to use, or zero for the system determined
optimum. These are low level performance options for advanced users only; do not change unless
requested to or you’ve actually read and understood the code yourself. :)
order The order in which needed files should be pulled from the cluster. The possibles values are:
random Pull files in random order. This optimizes for balancing resources among the devices in a
cluster.
alphabetic
Pull files ordered by file name alphabetically.
smallestFirst, largestFirst
Pull files ordered by file size; smallest and largest first respectively.
oldestFirst, newestFirst
Pull files ordered by modification time; oldest and newest first respectively.
ignoreDelete
When set to true, this device will pretend not to see instructions to delete files from other
devices.
scanProgressIntervalS
The interval with which scan progress information is sent to the GUI. Zero means the default value
(two seconds).
pullerPauseS
Tweak for rate limiting the puller when it retries pulling files. Don’t change these unless you
know what you’re doing.
maxConflicts
The maximum number of conflict copies to keep around for any given file. The default, -1, means
an unlimited number. Setting this to zero disables conflict copies altogether.
disableSparseFiles
By default, blocks containing all zeroes are not written, causing files to be sparse on
filesystems that support the concept. When set to true, sparse files will not be created.
disableTempIndexes
By default, devices exchange information about blocks available in transfers that are still in
progress. When set to true, such information is not exchanged for this folder.
paused True if this folder is (temporarily) suspended.
weakHashThresholdPct
Use weak hash if more than the given percentage of the file has changed. Set to -1 to always use
weak hash. Default value is 25.
markerName
Name of a directory or file in the folder root to be used as marker-faq. Default is “.stfolder”.
fsync Deprecated since version v0.14.37.
Transfer updated (from other devices) files to permanent storage before committing the changes to
the internal database.
pullerSleepS
Deprecated since version v0.14.41.
Tweak for rate limiting the puller. Don’t change these unless you know what you’re doing.
DEVICE ELEMENT

<address>tcp://192.0.2.1:22001</address>
<paused>true<paused>
<allowedNetwork>192.168.0.0/16<allowedNetwork>
</device>
One or more device elements must be present in the file. Each element describes a device participating in
the cluster. It is customary to include a device element for the local device; Syncthing will currently
add one if it is not present. The following attributes may be set on the device element:
id The device ID. This must be written in canonical form, that is without any spaces or dashes.
(mandatory)
name A friendly name for the device. (optional)
compression
Whether to use protocol compression when sending messages to this device. The possible values
are:
metadata
Compress metadata packets, such as index information. Metadata is usually very compression
friendly so this is a good default.
always Compress all packets, including file data. This is recommended if the folders contents are
mainly compressible data such as documents or text files.
never Disable all compression.
introducer
Set to true if this device should be trusted as an introducer, i.e. we should copy their list of
devices per folder when connecting.
SEE ALSO:
introducer
skipIntroductionRemovals
Set to true if you wish to follow only introductions and not de-introductions. For example, if
this is set, we would not remove a device that we were introduced to even if the original
introducer is no longer listing the remote device as known.
introducedBy
Defines which device has introduced us to this device. Used only for following de-introductions.
From following child elements at least one address child must exist.
address
Contains an address or host name to use when attempting to connect to this device. Entries other
than dynamic must be prefixed with tcp:// (dual-stack), tcp4:// (IPv4 only) or tcp6:// (IPv6
only). Note that IP addresses need not use tcp4/tcp6; these are optional. Accepted formats are:
IPv4 address (tcp://192.0.2.42)
The default port (22000) is used.
IPv4 address and port (tcp://192.0.2.42:12345)
The address and port is used as given.
IPv6 address (tcp://[2001:db8::23:42])
The default port (22000) is used. The address must be enclosed in square brackets.
IPv6 address and port (tcp://[2001:db8::23:42]:12345)
The address and port is used as given. The address must be enclosed in square brackets.
Host name (tcp6://fileserver)
The host name will be used on the default port (22000) and connections will be attempted
only via IPv6.
Host name and port (tcp://fileserver:12345)
The host name will be used on the given port and connections will be attempted via both
IPv4 and IPv6, depending on name resolution.
dynamic
The word dynamic (without tcp:// prefix) means to use local and global discovery to find
the device.
paused True if synchronization with this devices is (temporarily) suspended.
allowedNetwork
If given, this restricts connections to this device to only this network (see allowed-networks).
GUI ELEMENT
<gui enabled="true" tls="false" debugging="false">
<address>127.0.0.1:8384</address>
<apikey>l7jSbCqPD95JYZ0g8vi4ZLAMg3ulnN1b</apikey>
<theme>default</theme>
</gui>
There must be exactly one gui element. The GUI configuration is also used by the rest-api and the
event-api. The following attributes may be set on the gui element:
enabled
If not true, the GUI and API will not be started.
tls If set to true, TLS (HTTPS) will be enforced. Non-HTTPS requests will be redirected to HTTPS. When
this is set to false, TLS connections are still possible but it is not mandatory.
debugging
This enables profiling and additional debugging endpoints in the rest-api.
The following child elements may be present:
address
Set the listen address. One address element must be present. Allowed address formats are:
IPv4 address and port (127.0.0.1:8384)
The address and port is used as given.
IPv6 address and port ([::1]:8384)
The address and port is used as given. The address must be enclosed in square brackets.
Wildcard and port (0.0.0.0:12345, [::]:12345, :12345)
These are equivalent and will result in Syncthing listening on all interfaces via both IPv4
and IPv6.
user Set to require authentication.
password
Contains the bcrypt hash of the real password.
apikey If set, this is the API key that enables usage of the REST interface.
insecureAdminAccess

already been set.
tempIndexMinBlocks
When exchanging index information for incomplete transfers, only take into account files that have
at least this many blocks.
unackedNotificationID
ID of a notification to be displayed in the web GUI. Will be removed once the user acknowledged it

empty string.
relayServer
Deprecated since version v0.13.0: You can now specify custom relay servers with listenAddress.
Lists one or more relay servers, on the format relay://hostname:port. Alternatively, a relay list
can be loaded over https by using an URL like dynamic+https://somehost/path. The default loads the
list of relays from the relay pool server, relays.syncthing.net.
pingTimeoutS
Deprecated since version v0.12.0.
Ping-timeout in seconds. Don’t change it unless you are having issues due to slow response time
(slow connection/cpu) and large index exchanges.
pingIdleTimeS
Deprecated since version v0.12.0.

Listen Addresses
The following address types are accepted in sync protocol listen addresses:
Default listen addresses (default)

TCP wildcard and port (tcp://0.0.0.0:22000, tcp://:22000)
These are equivalent and will result in Syncthing listening on all interfaces, IPv4 and IPv6, on
the specified port.
TCP IPv4 wildcard and port (tcp4://0.0.0.0:22000, tcp4://:22000)
These are equivalent and will result in Syncthing listening on all interfaces via IPv4 only.
TCP IPv4 address and port (tcp4://192.0.2.1:22000)
This results in Syncthing listening on the specified address and port, IPv4 only.
TCP IPv6 wildcard and port (tcp6://[::]:22000, tcp6://:22000)
These are equivalent and will result in Syncthing listening on all interfaces via IPv6 only.
TCP IPv6 address and port (tcp6://[2001:db8::42]:22000)
This results in Syncthing listening on the specified address and port, IPv6 only.
Static relay address (relay://192.0.2.42:22067?id=abcd123...)
Syncthing will connect to and listen for incoming connections via the specified relay address.
Todo
Document available URL parameters.
Dynamic relay pool (dynamic+https://192.0.2.42/relays)
Syncthing will fetch the specified HTTPS URL, parse it for a JSON payload describing relays,
select a relay from the available ones and listen via that as if specified as a static relay
above.
Todo
Document available URL parameters.
SYNCING CONFIGURATION FILES
Syncing configuration files between devices (such that multiple devices are using the same configuration
files) can cause issues. This is easy to do accidentally if you sync your home folder between devices. A
common symptom of syncing configuration files is two devices ending up with the same Device ID.
If you want to use Syncthing to backup your configuration files, it is recommended that the files you are
backing up are in a folder-sendonly to prevent other devices from overwriting the per device
configuration. The folder on the remote device(s) should not be used as configuration for the remote
devices.
If you’d like to sync your home folder in non-send-only mode, you may add the folder that stores the
configuration files to the ignore list. If you’d also like to backup your configuration files, add
another folder in send-only mode for just the configuration folder.
