A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

Announcement by the creator: https://forum.syncthing.net/t/discontinuing-syncthing-android/23002

Unfortunately I don’t have good news on the state of the android app: I am retiring it. The last release on Github and F-Droid will happen with the December 2024 Syncthing version.

Reason is a combination of Google making Play publishing something between hard and impossible and no active maintenance. The app saw no significant development for a long time and without Play releases I do no longer see enough benefit and/or have enough motivation to keep up the ongoing maintenance an app requires even without doing much, if any, changes.

Thanks a lot to everyone who ever contributed to this app!

Yes you can. I just did it without any issues.

Sweet. Thanks.

Edit: It's not working for me on GrapheneOS Android 15 Beta. Can't start anything because of how it's displaying.

Never used GrapheneOS. Did it export and import okay? Looks like not.

[–] jjlinux@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Oh, that's the thing. Since the menu and settings are showing so high up, they are no accepting the touch commands. I exported from the original app, but the fork just won't work. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling to no avail. I'll stay in the original Syncthing for now and try again once it stops getting maintained. Thanks anyways for all the info.

That's a bugger! Maybe report it as an issue on their github so you can track when it's fixed?

[–] jjlinux@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 month ago

Yeah, I'll take some time to do that over the weekend. Thanks. Love the handle by the way. Grandpa 😁
