Where do Syncthing logs go to?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Syncthing logs to stdout by default. On Windows Syncthing by default
also creates ``syncthing.log`` in Syncthing's home directory (check
``-help`` to see where that is).
How do I upgrade Syncthing?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- If automatic upgrades is enabled (which is the default), Sycnthing will upgrade itself automatically within 24 hours of a new release.
- The ugrade button appears in the web GUI when a new version has been released. Pressing it will perform an upgrade.
- To force an upgrade from the command line, run ``syncthing -upgrade``.
Note that your system should have CA certificates installed which allow a secure connection to GitHub (e.g. FreeBSD requires `sudo pkg install ca_root_nss`). If ``curl`` or ``wget`` works with normal HTTPS sites, then so should Syncthing.
Where do I find the latest release?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We release new versions through GitHub. The latest release is always found `on
the release page <https://github.com/syncthing/syncthing/releases/latest>`_.
Unfortunately GitHub does not provide a single URL to automatically download
the latest version. We suggest to use the GitHub API at
https://api.github.com/repos/syncthing/syncthing/releases/latest and parsing
the JSON response.
