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.
Ok, I think I got it now (or do I?). Appreciate your patience, getting old and confused over here. So when I turn my laptop off, I’m assuming that Syncthing-fork will eventually sleep on my phone? Also, what’s the point of having the “sync only on specific networks” setting then?
in my home network the host is often sleeping and syncthing isn’t particularly piggy - i expect it to just do the right thing.
i imagine there are network setups where you’d have some networks you trust for syncing at distance and some you don’t, but i could only speculate on that.
