Syncthing Deck Setup

This script will download a Syncthing build and install it in the user's home directory. This allows a user to run Syncthing using a SystemD user service, and keep all necessary files within their home directory. In scenarios where the traditional directory for installed packages may be overwritten (ie., the Steam Deck's filesystem), this allows Syncthing to persist through updates, and still run automatically in the background when the Deck is started. There is no GUI provided for Syncthing when installed this way. Instead, use the web-UI available at localhost:8384.

Requirements

bash
curl
tar
