Description

@CompuRoot

Text stated:

Path to your syncthing.exe and enter --no-restart --no-browser --home="<path to your Syncthing folder>" as Arguments.

but screenshot of nssm service manager show: -no-console -no-browser -home="C:\Syncthing"


I ran syncthing serve --help and it looks like option --no-console doesn't exist anymore.

Also, I suggest:

  • to advice to install syncthing into C:\Program Files instead of C:\Syncthing because by default all users of workstation might have write access into C:\Syncthing.
  • since syncthing supposed to run as the SYSTEM account (to be able to sync multiple user's accounts, as well system folders), it would be more secure to use SYSTEM's home directory to prevent unauthorized user(s) to read/write to syncthing data/configuration files, that's why suggestion to use:
    C:\Windows\system32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Local\Syncthing
