title: Syncthing setup for a refreshing file experience
[[Syncthing]] is an incredibly useful piece of software in a simple and (moderately) lightweight package.
Keeping in mind that, due to its [[peer-to-peer]] nature, a Syncthing instance is both a client and a server --- an ideal setup for me is developed around the following hierarchy of instances:
# On my home server
#* A centralized place where everything (storage permitting) can reside together, and scripts can run on a schedule, for secondary syncing and backup operations (which go far beyond the scopes of Syncthing).
# On my main smartphone
#* The smartphone goes everywhere, and as such is at more risk of breaking or losing, and with some of my private files (mainly camera media, screenshots, and [[game saves|Game save]]).
# On other devices; for example, my main desktop PC, or my tablet.
#* On those, immediate syncing is nice but not essential, as I often can use other methods comfortably enough (copy from USB, copy to server via SFTP, ...), and honestly I often do it only when doing maintenance .
