It will automatically install Syncthing and create a systemd service for you and allows you to monitor your syncing states. \n\n## Features\n\n- 📊 **Real-time Monitoring** - View Syncthing service status and sync progress\n- 🎛️ **Service Control** - Start, stop, and restart Syncthing service with a single tap\n- 🚀 **Auto-Installer** - Automatically downloads and installs the latest Syncthing release\n\n## Screenshots\n\u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e\n  \u003cimg src=\"https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/4e2262ab-be68-46a7-80d8-2d2a2a60940b\" alt=\"installer\" width=\"250\"/\u003e\n  \u003cimg src=\"https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/91a2589b-7f66-4a47-bbff-5ac29e0c539d\" alt=\"app\" width=\"250\"/\u003e\n  \u003cimg src=\"https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/848d74cf-8c02-429a-b2bb-a8a738747cb9\" alt=\"app\" width=\"250\"/\u003e\n\u003c/p\u003e\n\n## Tested Devices\n\n- reMarkable Paper Pro Move\n\n\n## How to Install\n\n### Recommended Install Script\n\nSSH into your reMarkable as `root`, then run:\n\n```bash\nwget -O install.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/paviro/Syncthing-for-reMarkable/main/install.sh\nsh install.sh\n```\n\nThe script checks whether Vellum is already installed. If Vellum is missing, it downloads and runs the Vellum bootstrap script, then installs AppLoad with Vellum, starts XOVI/AppLoad, downloads the latest Syncthing for reMarkable release, and installs it to:\n\n```\n/home/root/xovi/exthome/appload/syncthing\n```\n\nThe script prompts before making changes. If an older Syncthing app install exists, the script treats the run as an app update: it preserves the installed Syncthing binary and local `config.json` when present, then replaces the old app files.\n\n### Manual Installation\n\nUse these steps if you prefer not to use the install script. First install the AppLoad/XOVI prerequisites, then install Syncthing for reMarkable manually.\n\n#### Install prerequisites with Vellum\n\nThe recommended way to install the AppLoad/XOVI prerequisites is [Vellum](https://remarkable.guide/guide/software/vellum.html), the community package manager for reMarkable tablets. Vellum handles package dependencies and device/OS compatibility checks for the packages it installs.\n\n1. **Set up SSH access**\n\n   Set up SSH access to your reMarkable if you have not already done so.\n\n2. **Install Vellum**\n\n   Follow the [Vellum installation instructions](https://github.com/vellum-dev/vellum-cli#installation) on your reMarkable.\n\n3. **Install AppLoad**\n\n   Use Vellum to install AppLoad:\n\n   ```bash\n   vellum update\n   vellum add appload\n   ```\n\n   Read the command output carefully. Vellum may print additional steps depending on your device and OS version.\n\n4. **Rebuild the XOVI hash table**\n\n   Rebuild the hash table after installing or updating AppLoad/XOVI packages:\n\n   ```bash\n   xovi/rebuild_hashtable\n   ```\n\n5. **Start XOVI/AppLoad**\n\n   Start XOVI after installing AppLoad, and after each reboot if you have not configured an automatic start method:\n\n   ```bash\n   xovi/start\n   ```\n\n#### Install prerequisites without Vellum\n\nIf you cannot use Vellum, you can install the prerequisites manually:\n\n1. **Install XOVI manually**\n   \n   Install XOVI from [https://github.com/asivery/rm-xovi-extensions](https://github.com/asivery/rm-xovi-extensions) by using the included installation script.\n\n2. **Install required extensions manually**\n   \n   Install `qt-resource-rebuilder` (from the XOVI repo) and `rm-appload`:\n   \n   ```bash\n   # Copy the required extensions to the XOVI extensions directory\n   cp qt-resource-rebuilder.so /home/root/xovi/extensions.d/\n   cp appload.so /home/root/xovi/extensions.d/\n   ```\n\n3. **Rebuild the hash table**\n   \n   ```bash\n   xovi/rebuild_hashtable\n   ```\n\n4. **Start XOVI**\n   \n   Run XOVI (you must do this every time you reboot your device):\n   \n   ```bash\n   xovi/start\n   ```\n\n#### Install Syncthing for reMarkable\n\n1. **Download Syncthing for reMarkable**\n   \n   Download the [latest release](https://github.com/paviro/Syncthing-for-reMarkable/releases) of Syncthing for reMarkable and pick the archive that matches your device:\n   - **reMarkable Paper Pro / Paper Pro Move** → `syncthing-rm-appload-aarch64.zip`\n   - **reMarkable 2** → `syncthing-rm-appload-armv7.zip` (32-bit build, currently untested)\n\n2. **Extract and Copy Files**\n   \n   Extract the archive and copy the `syncthing` folder to `/home/root/xovi/exthome/appload/` so that it remains as:\n   \n   ```\n   /home/root/xovi/exthome/appload/syncthing\n   ```\n   \n   \u003e **Note:** Most users can ignore the `config.sample.json` file when using the auto-installer - it's not needed! The auto-installer handles everything automatically. This configuration file is only for advanced users who want to manually manage their Syncthing installation.\n\n3. **Launch Syncthing**\n   \n   - Open the sidebar on your reMarkable\n   - Touch \"AppLoad\"\n   - Launch Syncthing from the AppLoad menu\n\n4. **Closing the App**\n   \n   To close the app, swipe down from the center top of the screen to display the AppLoad window controls and tap the X button.\n\n## Accessing the Syncthing Web Interface\n\nTo access Syncthing over your local network (or USB):\n\n1. Open the Syncthing app on your reMarkable\n2. Tap the **Settings** button\n3. Enable **Network Access**\n4. Access the web interface using your device's IP address:\n   ```\n   http://\u003cdevice-ip\u003e:8384\n   ```\n   Replace `\u003cdevice-ip\u003e` with your reMarkable's IP address on your local network.\n   \n   or via the USB IP address:\n   ```\n   http://10.11.99.1:8384\n   ```\n\n\u003e **⚠️ Security Note:** When enabling network access, it's strongly recommended to:\n\u003e - **Set a password** in the Syncthing web interface (Settings → GUI → GUI Authentication)\n\u003e - **Enable HTTPS** in the Syncthing web interface (Settings → GUI → Use HTTPS for GUI)\n\u003e \n\u003e This ensures your Syncthing instance is protected when accessible over the network.\n\n## Debugging and Logs\n\nIf you encounter issues or want to monitor the app's behavior, you can view the logs on your reMarkable device using SSH.\n\n### Real-time Logs\n\n**Backend logs** (application logic and Syncthing operations):\n\n```bash\njournalctl -f | grep -i 'appload\\|syncthing'\n```\n\n**Frontend logs** (UI and QML-related messages):\n\n```bash\njournalctl -f | grep -i 'qml\\|syncthing-monitor'\n```\n\n\u003e **Tip:** The `-f` flag follows the log output in real-time. Press `Ctrl+C` to stop viewing logs.\n\n### Historical Logs\n\nTo view the last 500 log entries:\n\n**Backend history:**\n\n```bash\njournalctl -n 500 | grep -i 'appload\\|syncthing'\n```\n\n**Frontend history:**\n\n```bash\njournalctl -n 500 | grep -i 'qml\\|syncthing'\n```\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fpaviro%2Fsyncthing-for-remarkable","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fpaviro%2Fsyncthing-for-remarkable","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fpaviro%2Fsyncthing-for-remarkable/lists"}
