I'm still a newcomer so if I fail to to properly convey myself in the context of this forum. In other words I invite you to critique my way of doing/stating things so I may learn from it.
Now
to the real issues. Just as the title says I cannot get runit to start the syncthing daemon like all the other services found in
/etc/runit/runsvdir/current/
[edit: syncthing-runit is indeed installed] I made sure to check it wasn't running by executing
$ ps -e | grep syncthing
. Yet the terminal output was empty.
Next I tried manually starting it with
# sv up /run/runit/service/syncthing
I tried it 2 or 3 times, each time checking with
$ ps -e | grep syncthing
as well as opening it GUI in Brave via localhost:8384.
Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated. If I'm omitting some important info somewhere, please do not hesitate to tell me. I fully intend to adhere to the forum standards once I've become familiar with them. Sadly, I either missed or there simply is no "Rules/Guidelines" subforum. For one, am I overdoing it with the code blocks??
Edit 1: Give context
Edit 2: misstype of syncthing
Edit 3: move "sv up" inside of the code block
Hello. I had a similar issue and I read the runit script.

You have to check the file
/etc/conf.d/syncthing# User and group as which to run
#SYNCTHING_USER="syncthing"
#SYNCTHING_GROUP="syncthing"
So you have to create a user called "syncthing" within the group "synthing" or you have to edit the file with your user and group.
Best regards.
