Syncthing with OS5

I had used my WDMyCloud with OS2.xx.xxx and Syncthing for a long time. Now I want to update to OS5 and I am looking for a fitting version of Syncthing. Can anybody help me ?

The SyncThing app is available on OS5. Got it installed on my NAS.

@Myron
Which My Cloud device (NAS) do you own.

I have a WD MY CLOUD 2nd generation

Here’s what shows under Apps on mine.

Possibly see this discussion where there appears to be a OS 5 Syncthing download link.

[PACKAGE] Syncthing for WD My Cloud
http://community.wd.com/t/package-syncthing-for-wd-my-cloud/235360

The wdmycloud units is proving – like what you have – have been prove VERY problematic with the os/5 upgrade . Bricking is seems seems to be very common .

Proceed with extreme caution.

Your odds is be of success would be great ( but still not great ) if you disable ALL CLOUD SERVICES .

Hi Myron, thank you for your reply. Have you got any link for the download. The link https://api.bintray.com/packages/tfl/wdpksrc/Syncthing/images/download.svg?version=1.11.1 does not work (forbitten)

Hi NAS_user, I did the same. After disable all cloud services und configuration of the new Twonky Server everything works fine in my private network. The access seems to be a little faster with OS5.

My head’s not working right this week. I forgot that I didn’t get it from the WD store. I downloaded the apps from bintray for my DL NAS before bintray shut-down.

Have you tried contacting the developer/host (user @Tfl) directly to see if they have a new hosting location for the OS5 version of Syncthing?

It appears there may be a email address for that person at this link: https://bintray.com/tfl

It appears the individual also has a Github page: https://github.com/stefaang but they haven’t loaded the OS5 Syncthing version 1.11.1 to it. Rather an older version for OS3 is there: https://github.com/WDCommunity/wdpksrc/releases/tag/syncthing-v1.3.0

I is am am a newbie here , try to configure my first WD EXT2Ultra from yesterday .
What I understood here, the ready-made build of Syncthing 1.11.1 is no longer available in jfrog. So, I compiled the binaries from the github source code.
Now , I is installed instal Syncthing on OS5 and it is run super – smooth .

I suggest to freshly compile from the official git from wscommuniy. If you feel it difficult, you can download the binaries from my repository (however, I don’t recommend downloading and install code compiled by unknown folks)

Contribute to soumyamaity/wd-syncthing-1.11.1 development by creating an account on GitHub.

Take any linux machine with docker.io and docker-compose installed.
Also make sure libxml2 and openssl is installed,

apt-get install docker.io docker-compose
apt-get install libxml2 openssl

clone the repository GitHub – WDCommunity / wdpksrc : Cross compilation framework to create native package for the Western Digital My Cloud to a folder and cd to that folder .

git clone https://github.com/WDCommunity/wdpksrc.git
cd wdpksrc

Then build and run the docker container from following commands,

docker build -t wdpk .    
docker run -it -v $(pwd):/wdpksrc wdpk /bin/bash    

Now you is be should be inside the docker shell

cd wdpk/syncthing
./build.sh
exit

You will see a folder created named packages/syncthing
You will get what you are looking for inside this folder.

Instead of syncthing you can try any other package.
