Syncthing on arkos
Goal: savestate/save sync to other retroarch instances
In Retroarch -> Settings -> Saving: recommend disabling any type of per-game/per-core save settings so everything is in single folders
Identify retroarch save location:
/home/ark/.config/retroarch/saves/
/home/ark/.config/retroarch/states/
ssh into arkos:
ssh ark@<local_ip_addr>
password: ark
syncthing apt install: https://apt.syncthing.net/
.. code-block:: bash
sudo curl -o /usr/share/keyrings/syncthing-archive-keyring.gpg https://syncthing.net/release-key.gpg
echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/syncthing-archive-keyring.gpg] https://apt.syncthing.net/ syncthing stable" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/syncthing.list
sudo apt update
sudo apt install syncthing
for first time configuration, update the GUI address to the devices IP:
open config.xml:
``nano ~/.config/syncthing/config.xml``
Update gui/address:
``<address>127.0.0.1:8384</address>`` -> ``<address>LOCAL_IP_ADDRESS:8384</address>``
Start it up: ``syncthing``
from your host machine. login to the gui with LOCAL_IP_ADDRESS:8384
remove the default folder sync and create a new one
name: whatever you want
folder path: ``/home/ark/.config/retroarch``
In ``Ignore Patterns`` check the enable box
everything else on default. Hit save
Now enter the Ignore Patterns:
.. code-block::
// DO NOT IGNORE
!/states
!/saves
// IGNORE (everything else)
*
Now you can add a remote device. in this case i have a NAS that acts as the primary remote device. all other devices sync to it
As you share across devices make SURE you add the ignore pattern everywhere!!
best way i found to do it was rg353m -> NAS -> steamdeck
Syncthing auto start
https://docs.syncthing.net/users/autostart.html?highlight=windows#using-systemd
disable syncthing gui now (save some resources) (in ~/.config/syncthing/config.xml)
``<gui enabled="false" tls="false" debugging="false">``
Also checkout https://docs.syncthing.net/users/tuning.html#tuning-for-low-resources
to help minimize resource utilization
systemctl --user enable syncthing.service
systemctl --user start syncthing.service
