Check out this GUI for Jolla Tablet: GitHub hdhoang/harbour-syncthing

This involves Jolla SDK ( guide for non-tech persons).

1. Download/Install/Launch Jolla SDK
2. Skip to 5 if your device is configured.
3. Open from top toolbar: Tools -> Options -> Devices -> Add -> Mer Device -> Physical.
4. Enter your Jolla Tablet IP address and developer mode SSH password and hit Next (test will complete,close window).
5. Click from SDK Welcome main page 'New Project'
6. From left column select 'Import Project´ and select 'Git Clone´
7. Enter to the github page address to 'Repository:'
8. Now before you hit the Build hammer icon or Deploy Project, you need to replace syncthing binary from harbour-syncthing (git clone path) folder.
9. Download the replacement syncthing-linux-386-v0.12.21 binary from Syncthing site and replace it with existing executable (file size should be 11,6 MiB).
10. Be sure you have right settings in Project pop-up menu: Jolla Tablet x86 + Release + Deploy As RPM Package.
11. Now hit build or deploy project (from top menu).
12. SF IDE should nag about changes to the executable, hit yes.
13. Grab a refreshment during build&deploy process.
14. Congrats, Syncthing is now installed to your Jolla Tablet with minimalistic GUI.

I made binary packages for syncthing and syncthing-inotify. The binaries are the precompiled ones from syncthing.com.

https://openrepos.net/content/fooxl/syncthing-bin

https://openrepos.net/content/fooxl/syncthing-inotify-bin

The Controller GUI will be updated soon. Then it will not include the binary anymore but depend on the packages mentioned above.

Installing is not so hard. Choose the armv7 file of syncthing. For the next step you have to enable the developer mode of jolla and need the Warehouse Store. Install tar from Warehouse. Now open the Terminal, you will find it after enabling developer mode and reboot in the app list. Type “cd Downloads”, next type “tar -xvzf name of downloaded file from syncthing”. Then type “ls” to see the folder, “cd name of folder”. Now you can start syncthing with “./syncthing”. Now its running in terminal. How to use it? I dont know, have a look in the documentation.

To have an always up to date version:

• get latest ARM release from https://syncthing.net/
• extract data (e.g. to /home/nemo/opt/syncthing-linux-arm/)
• copy systemd service from /home/nemo/opt/syncthing-linux-arm/etc/linux-systemd/user/syncthing.service to /home/nemo/.config/systemd/user/syncthing.service
• adjust path to binary in service file according to your used path (in this case to /home/nemo/opt/syncthing-linux-arm/syncthing)
• enable service to be started during startup: systemctl --user enable syncthing.service
• start service systemctl --user start syncthing.service
• go in sailfish browser to 127.0.0.1:8384to configure syncthing
