I’m currently set up to sync between my Linux laptop and GrapheneOS phone using regular Syncthing and Syncthing-fork. It works great! However, since I have it set to sync only over my local wifi, that means (I guess?) that location on my phone has to be on all the time. Which is fine, except that it tends to run the battery down. I’d like to be able to “set it and leave it” without draining the battery on my phone. Does anyone know if there’s a way I can do this? Right now I have to remember to turn location on on my phone and force start Syncthing on it before starting up my laptop.
I guess I just assume that it uses up extra battery life. Will Syncthing-fork on the phone eventually put itself to sleep if it can’t contact my laptop? Hmmm, maybe I should experiment a bit before asking questions!
Hmm, yea I assume it will. I got quite a few devices associate with my phone (some offline) and I haven’t noticed it draining the battery more than usual. So I guess it’s falling a sleeping (?)
