FAQ

Questions Syncthing owners ask.

  • 01

    How can I check if Syncthing needs a restart after I changed the configuration?

    You can use the get_restart_required capability. It will return a boolean indicating if a restart is pending due to configuration changes.

  • 02

    Is it possible to pause synchronization for a specific device using the AI?

    Yes. Use the system_pause capability and provide the specific Device ID. If you omit the ID, it will pause all devices.

  • 03

    Can I see which files are currently being synchronized?

    You can use get_db_status or get_db_completion for a specific folder to see the synchronization progress and state of the files in that directory.
