A command line tool for the Syncthing API. Designed to make setting up remote servers easier.
(and for users who prefer the cli)
-## Features
-- Adding and removing devices
-- Adding and removing folders
-- Sharing folders
-- More to come...
+## Installation and configuration
+###Requirements
+- Python 3.4 or later
+- setuptools and pip
+- Syncthing 0.14.19 or later
+
+Make sure you have setuptools installed, clone the repository, and run
+`python3 setup.py install`
+
+The configuration must be initialized with the Syncthing API key.
+Usually this can be done automatically:
+`stman configure`. If that doesn't work, get the API key from the GUI
+or config.xml (in Syncthing's config directory), then run `stman configure apikey`.
+
+### Configuration syntax
+If your Syncthing GUI/API is on a non-standard port, or not on localhost,
+you will need to configure it manually. By default, `stman` will look for
+settings at `~/.config/syncthingmanager/syncthingmanager.conf`.
+A sample syncthingmanager.conf follows:
+
+```
+[DEFAULT]
+name = localhost
+
+[localhost]
+apikey = MafkDvpagX5J6oMzxm9HwDSXJPSQKPFS
+hostname = localhost
+port = 8384
+
+[remote-device]
+apikey = h9mifaKwDq3SSPPmgUuDjsrivFg3dtkK
+hostname = some-host
+port = 9001
+```
+
+In this example, my default device is the one at localhost:8384. If I wanted
+to send a command to the one at some-host:9001, it would look like
+`stman --device remote-device ...`
## Usage
-The first time you use `stman`, you must give it the Syncthing API key.
-This can be found in the GUI or in the file `~/.config/syncthing/config.xml`.
-Then run `stman configure APIKEY`.
-
-All commands are documented in `stman -h`.
-
-## TODO
-- Untested on non-Linux platforms
-- More commands should be implemented, for changing the settings of existing
-folders and devices.
-- Should be able to find the API key automatically in most cases
-- Output of the device and folder listings could be prettier and more complete.
-- Tests are ugly and minimal, make them more systematic and complete.
-- You tell me! Open an issue and/or PR if you think a new command would be
-useful, or something unexpected happens.

+
+## Notes
+- On Windows, cmd.exe will print funny characters in place of colors.
+PowerShell works fine.
+- Some information shown in the GUI requires use of the Events API, which
+isn't part of python-syncthing. I plan on creating Python bindings for it
+and using the results, but haven't started yet.
+- I chose to have the device list output be online first instead of
+alphabetical.
