Syncthing — continuous, peer-to-peer file synchronization between your devices, with no central server and end-to-end TLS. Deployed as a single host-networked Nomad service with a persistent config/data volume and its web GUI bound on all interfaces.

Syncthing — continuous, peer-to-peer file synchronization between your devices. No central server, end-to-end TLS, open source.
Single host-networked Nomad service (the official syncthing/syncthing image). A busybox
prestart task chowns the data volume to the configured UID/GID (Syncthing runs as uid 1000 by
default), and the GUI is bound on all interfaces so it's reachable through host networking.

| Variable | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
gui_port |
8384 |
Web GUI port (STGUIADDRESS). |
sync_port |
22000 |
Device-to-device sync (TCP + QUIC/UDP). |
uid / gid |
1000 / 1000 |
User Syncthing runs as (PUID/PGID); volume is chown'd to it. |
data_volume |
syncthing_data |
/var/syncthing — config, keys, default folder. |
image |
syncthing/syncthing:latest |
Container image. Pin a tag in production. |
resources |
{ cpu = 500, memory = 256 } |
Task resources. |
The GUI is exposed on all interfaces — set a GUI username/password immediately (Actions →
Settings) and put TLS in front of it. Local discovery also uses UDP 21027; for remote peers
behind NAT, forward sync_port (TCP/UDP) or rely on Syncthing's relays.
Pin the job to the node holding data_volume with constraints.
