 |
|
I'm having a little trouble with getting Syncthing to start on boot.
It was working until a while ago, but stopped.
When I check the service's status, it says
The log file says it can't open its database:
| Code: |
[start] 20:49:35 INFO: syncthing v1.19.0 "Fermium Flea" (go1.17.5 linux-amd64) portage@localhost 2022-02-16 18:57:02 UTC [noupgrade]

There are no other instances running:
| Code: |
~ % pgrep -i syncthing
~ %
|
I am running Syncthing as an unpriviliged user:
| Code: |
# /etc/conf.d/syncthing: config file for /etc/init.d/syncthing
# User and group as which to run
SYNCTHING_USER="zsolti"
SYNCTHING_GROUP="zsolti"
# Configuration directory
SYNCTHING_HOMEDIR="/home/zsolti/.config/syncthing"
# Log file location
SYNCTHING_LOGFILE="/var/log/syncthing/syncthing.log"
# umask used to create files
# The default allows group access
SYNCTHING_UMASK=740
# I/O nice level of syncthing
#SYNCTHING_IONICE="0"
# Nice level of syncthing
#SYNCTHING_NICE="0"
# Where the syncthing GUI should listen. Can be a http(s) URI or a Unix domain socket
#SYNCTHING_GUI_ADDRESS="http://127.0.0.1:8384"
#SYNCTHING_GUI_ADDRESS="unix:/run/syncthing.sock"
# Extra options for syncthing
#SYNCTHING_OPTS=""
|
The umask on the config directory is 760, however it seems the `index-v0.14.0.db` file doesn't have these for some reason:
| Code: |
~ % ls -l .config/syncthing
total 36
-rwxrw---- 1 zsolti syncthing 794 Sep 27 19:20 cert.pem
-rwxrw---- 1 zsolti syncthing 9675 Feb 16 19:30 config.xml
-rwxrw---- 1 zsolti syncthing 132 Feb 16 19:42 csrftokens.txt
-rwxrw---- 1 zsolti syncthing 786 Sep 27 19:20 https-cert.pem
-rwxrw---- 1 zsolti syncthing 288 Sep 27 19:20 https-key.pem
d-----xr-x 2 zsolti zsolti 4096 Feb 16 20:14 index-v0.14.0.db
-rwxrw---- 1 zsolti syncthing 288 Sep 27 19:20 key.pem
|
If I remove the `index-v0.14.0.db` directory and run Syncthing as a regular user, everything works fine. It recreates the database directory, with sufficient permissions (644), however I would like to start syncthing via the OpenRC script if possible.
I would appreciate if someone could tell me what I'm doing wrong

| umasks are masks. Permission bits must be inverted. It should be 0027 instead of 0750. See 'man umask'. |

Oops. it seems I have misunderstood the meaning of umasks. I have changed it, deleted the db file, and now it is working fine!
Thanks a lot! |
