Syncthing Device for a Persistent Peer

Overview

Syncthing provides a way to share arbitrary numbers of files between any number of people without the need for a central server. It is a peer-to-peer (P2P) application that automagically syncs files in the background. This deployment app launches a Syncthing "device" (Persistent Peer) that offers a high-availability peer for members of a team to include in their file shares.

For example, imagine there are three people in a team who want to share various folders with each other during the course of their work. They can accomplish this with Syncthing using only their three workstations, by exchanging Device IDs and sharing the folders. However, what if one person modifies or adds a file while the other two are offline, and then that person goes offline before the other two come online? In that event, they would not receive the update. This is where a Persistent Peer is helpful, because in
