Selfhosted

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

  7. No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

Overview here

The new owner of the repo has a fresh github account and apparently has the signing keys from Catfriend1 too.

Time will tell if they are trustworthy, but for the extra paranoid it might make sense to pause updates for a while.

I installed mine from F-Droid. I just went there to turn off updates and it doesn't exist. I have not been paying attention so it may have been gone for ages and not related?

Interesting - mine is syncthing-fork 1.30.0.4. When I go to the App Info page it says "App installed from F-Droid" and when I tap on that button I get a small pop-up that says "No such app found."

The 2.0 update was made into a new package in fdroid, so that you paid close attention to the upgrade, as it could maybe break things.

Same exact scenario here. Hmm

[–] Kernal64@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Add me to the list with this exact issue.

You guys all missed the Syncthing 2.0 upgrade.

[–] Wispy2891@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I think everyone misses the upgrade except new installs, how users (including power users) can know that they have to uninstall the old app, potentially lose all the settings , then reinstall and reconfigure?

Perhaps you had the pre-fork android app?
