Description simon 2022-02-21 13:58:44 UTC

Tried to access my syncthing setup today and found i could not connect to its web gui any more.
Looking at it's configuration it showed still the IP address i configured it to listen but it was not doing that but limited to 127.0.0.1 (i connect from a different machine in my local network)

After i connected from localhost i could see a hint in the UI that my settings where still recognized but overriden by startup which i then found in the init-script.


SYNCTHING_GUI_ADDRESS=${SYNCTHING_GUI_ADDRESS:-http://127.0.0.1:8384}

Is this by intention? If yes what is the proper way to support a different listen address. Should i change init script by commenting this and update in with every update? 
What is the need of the override in the gentoo init script in the first place?


Thanks

Forgot to mention it is net-p2p/syncthing 1.19.0 (unstable)

You should simply set SYNCTHING_GUI_ADDRESS in /etc/conf.d/syncthing, then don't overwrite your configuration on updates.
