Sync files between two bazzite installs

I beeen trying to get a bidirectional sync working between my deck and main pc (emulation configs saves etc) when i had my deck on steamos and my main system on Garuda I used syncthing. But for some reason this has caused allot of issues on bazzite . for example now syncthing doesn't want to load . Anyone know have to fix this or a good alternative for syncing my files? I tried resilio sync and found it more difficult to acomplish what I need, not to mention its propitery and has no simple GUI application.

i think the problem may be that syncthing GTK is not really maintained anymore (seems like theres been no updates in two years) but it seems to be the only syncthing client that supports limiting how many cores get allocated to the app, and I need that for the steam deck not to get overwhelmed and hang running syncthing GTK in a terminal gives me

DevilFish303•4w ago

is that the flatpak version? i recommend overlaying the rpm, have you given that a try?

zany130•4w ago

let me try of syncthing GTK? wouldnt it be better in a distrobox? though I guess if i am allready conncerend with performance with it flatpaked, it will perform even worse in a container no?

DevilFish303•4w ago

distrobox can work as long as the folder in question is mounted and visible to the container. Performance is hard to say, there may be overhead, but whether or not you can tell, only way to find out is to try it

zany130•4w ago

well syncthing running through a flatpak already brings my steam deck to its knees and hangs for several minutes. hmm can't find a rpm of syncthing-gtk according to the github it should be in the main fedora repos

DevilFish303•4w ago

oh def overlay the rpm then i have the rpm installed on steam deck and i see no impact to battery performance whatsoever

zany130•4w ago

i think the rpm might of been removed. the github also mentions a arch package in the communinty repo and it seems that was droped since syncthing-gtk is no longer maintained prob better of using a diffrent syncthing client which rpm did you install ? i can't find any sthincthing clients in the fedora repos just the base syncthing pacakge

DevilFish303•4w ago

ill have to take a look in my steam deck install when i get the chance

Aru•4w ago

syncthingy flatpak, it also supports a systemd service to start it automatically on boot

wasn't the whole problem I was running into because of flatpak? I was using the syncthing-gtk flatpak .

oh this one inegrates with dolphin and the rest of kde but a repo needs to be added https://martchus.github.io/syncthingtray/#intro-section

zany130•4w ago

there is a flatpak but it missings the kde features so i got syncthing-gtk to work in an arch distrobox on my deck but for some reson on my main pc it does not see my external drives what the hell it wos working but after rebooting I started getting the same error again and even stranger this only happens on my deck not my main pc

figured it out the problem was decky. Specfically the syncthing decky plugin I forgot to update it to use syncthing GTK (I had previously set it up with syncthingy) and that was causing the issue apperently anddddd it broke again after a reboot 😒

i stopped using syncthing gtk and swapped to syncthingy due to issues with gtk
