### Purpose This PR contains the set of changes needed to make Syncthing work on iOS for [my iOS app for Syncthing](https://github.com/pixelspark/sushitrain). Most changes originate from [the Mobius Sync fork](http://github.com/MobiusSync/syncthing/tree/ios). I have removed the changes from their fork that are not strictly needed for my app (i.e. their changes to the GUI and command line utilities, for instance) and squashed it all in a single commit. In summary, the changes are: * Resolve non-absolute paths to the 'Documents' folder (basically the only one an app can/should write user data to by default on iOS) * Tweaking of build flags/conditions for iOS (i.e. determine which basicfs_watch, ignoreresult variant to build for iOS) * Disable upgrade mechanism on iOS * Make `RequestGlobal` and `PullerProgress` public symbols * Expose syncthing.app's Model instance (app.M) * Add no-op stub for SetLowPriority on iOS I would very much appreciate these changes to be (eventually) merged to mainline syncthing, as this would allow my iOS app to track the mainline source code directly and removes the need (for me at least) for maintaining a separate fork. Perhaps the Mobius folks can also benefit from this (although as noted this branch does not contain their changes to e.g. the GUI). ### Testing This branch has been tested with the iOS app and appears to work fine. The full set of MobiusSync changes has been used before with success. ### Screenshots n/a ### Documentation There should be no visible changes for users due to this set of changes. --------- Co-authored-by: Simon Pickup <simon@pickupinfinity.com>
Goals
Syncthing is a continuous file synchronization program. It synchronizes files between two or more computers. We strive to fulfill the goals below. The goals are listed in order of importance, the most important ones first. This is the summary version of the goal list - for more commentary, see the full Goals document.
Syncthing should be:
-
Safe From Data Loss
Protecting the user's data is paramount. We take every reasonable precaution to avoid corrupting the user's files.
-
Secure Against Attackers
Again, protecting the user's data is paramount. Regardless of our other goals, we must never allow the user's data to be susceptible to eavesdropping or modification by unauthorized parties.
-
Easy to Use
Syncthing should be approachable, understandable, and inclusive.
-
Automatic
User interaction should be required only when absolutely necessary.
-
Universally Available
Syncthing should run on every common computer. We are mindful that the latest technology is not always available to every individual.
-
For Individuals
Syncthing is primarily about empowering the individual user with safe, secure, and easy to use file synchronization.
-
Everything Else
There are many things we care about that don't make it on to the list. It is fine to optimize for these values, as long as they are not in conflict with the stated goals above.
Getting Started
Take a look at the getting started guide.
There are a few examples for keeping Syncthing running in the background on your system in the etc directory. There are also several GUI implementations for Windows, Mac, and Linux.
Docker
To run Syncthing in Docker, see the Docker README.
Getting in Touch
The first and best point of contact is the Forum. If you've found something that is clearly a bug, feel free to report it in the GitHub issue tracker.
If you believe that you’ve found a Syncthing-related security vulnerability, please report it by emailing security@syncthing.net. Do not report it in the Forum or issue tracker.
Building
Building Syncthing from source is easy. After extracting the source bundle from
a release or checking out git, you just need to run go run build.go and the
binaries are created in ./bin. There's a guide with more details on the
build process.
Signed Releases
As of v0.10.15 and onwards, release binaries are GPG signed with the key D26E6ED000654A3E, available from https://syncthing.net/security/ and most key servers.
There is also a built-in automatic upgrade mechanism (disabled in some distribution channels) which uses a compiled in ECDSA signature. macOS binaries are also properly code signed.
