I really want to like syncthing. The problems I have had with it are..
1) Difficult to set up as a service on Windows, so you don't have a command window in your task bar all the time. I want this thing to be fire and forget, not in my face all the time and setting it up on all my PC's, my wife's PC's and my kids PC's, I don't want a lot of extra steps and 3rd party solutions just to get SyncThing to be a service.
2) I had some CPU hogging issues on my Ubuntu boxes that forced me to disable it.
I did not know they changed their name to Pulse. That explains why I'm getting email from a Pulse mailing list suddenly.
- joshstrange 12y agoHmm, I wonder if it will suffer from the same issues as BTSync if I try to sync a large number of folders... I will be running on Ubuntu but that does suck that you can't run it as a windows server.
- Pwntastic 12y agoI haven't used syncthing/Pulse at all, but have you tried using srvany to set it running as a service?
- zamabe 12y agoI use NSSM to run it as a service. It is an extra step, but it's easy and I never have to touch the service again since pulse/syncthing can update itself (restarts automatically) :) http://nssm.cc/ http://nssm.cc/
- Shish2k 12y agoI've been using SyncthingTray for keeping syncthing's GUI footprint to a minimum, it seems to work quite nicely: https://pulse-forum.ind.ie/t/syncthingtray-for-windows/586 https://pulse-forum.ind.ie/t/syncthingtray-for-windows/586
