# SyncThing

The below will setup ```syncthing``` and give some basics for setup. This is wholly optional if you prefer a different approach to synchronizing your photos to the PiFrame.

*Please note: by default Syncthing does NOT impose transfer limits. You may want to consider limiting upload rates if you plan on moving large numbers of pictures over your internet line*

``` sh

curl -s https://syncthing.net/release-key.txt | sudo apt-key add -
echo "deb https://apt.syncthing.net/ syncthing stable" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/syncthing.list
apt update && apt install syncthing
touch /tank/pictures/.stfolder
chown fim: /tank/pictures/.stfolder
systemctl enable --now syncthing@fim.service # use feh user so perms are right for pics
ssh -L 8385:127.0.0.1:8384 user@piframe
