Details
I have my home directory encrypted with ecryptfs and
auto-mounted on login. When the syncthing service is started
by systemd on `multi-user.target`, the home directory is not
available and startup fails:
Sep 24 16:38:15 hostname syncthing[608]: 16:38:15 main.go:1003: FATAL: mkdir /home/username/.config: permission denied Sep 24 16:38:15 hostname systemd[1]: syncthing@username.service: main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE Sep 24 16:38:15 hostname systemd[1]: Unit syncthing@username.service entered failed state. Sep 24 16:38:15 hostname systemd[1]: syncthing@username.service start request repeated too quickly, refusing to start. Sep 24 16:38:15 hostname systemd[1]: Failed to start Syncthing service for username. Sep 24 16:38:15 hostname systemd[1]: Unit syncthing@username.service entered failed state. I assumed I would be able to install the service in the user instance of systemd with `systemctl --user enable syncthing.service`, but since there's no corresponding unit in /usr/lib/systemd/user I did not succeed. However, I got it to work by adding the following unit file at ~/.config/systemd/user/syncthing.service: [Unit] Description=Syncthing service for %u After=network.target [Service] Environment=STNORESTART=yes ExecStart=/usr/bin/syncthing Restart=on-success [Install] WantedBy=default.target I don't know how common it is not to have the home directory available until login, but would you consider adding a user unit file to the package? The package version I use is 0.9.17-2. |

syncthing 0.9.19-2 has just been released to [community] that adds the user unit you requested :-)
