How to install and activate: Spoiler:
- extract KoboRoot.tgz from the uploaded zip archive and copy it into .kobo
- eject and disconnect the device
- select (from home): handle update > install update
- wait until the reader has restarted
- select (from home): scripts > syncthing > syncthing start.sh
- if you see "Syncthing has been configured successfully", touch the middle of the screen, and then press the "close" button
- Enable wifi, if it is not already on
- On your pc, type into the location bar "http://<your device IP>:8384" (for instance, "http://10.0.0.3:8384"), and manage the syncthing settings. Note: To refer to a folder with the name ".testsyncfolder" on the user partition of the Kobo (this is what you see, when you connect the device via USB to your pc), you would write "/mnt/onboard/.testsyncfolder".
You can shut down syncthing by selecting "Actions" > "Shutdown" in the web browser, or by selecting "scripts" > "syncthing" > "syncthing kill.sh", in KSM. You can access the syncthing GUI also from your webbrowers on nickel via "http://127.0.0.1:8384", but this seems to be only of limited use.
Note: Do not use the default synchronization folder (/Sync), which is created by syncthing, except you know exactly what you are doing. Anyway, it is not advisable to use the system partition as storage. |
There is also syncthing-inotify that watches for file changes (instead of regular interval scans). It can be useful on these low power devices since syncthing can be a greedy battery drainer if you sync a lot of files.
