.stversions folder. If a file with the same name was
already in the trash can it is replaced.
A configuration option is available to clean the trash can from files older
than a specified number of days. If this is set to a positive number of days,
files will be removed when they have been in the trash can that long. Setting
this to zero prevents any files from being removed from the trash can
automatically.
.stversions folder
(inside your shared folder) when replaced or deleted on a remote device. This
option also takes a value in an input titled “Keep Versions” which tells
Syncthing how many old versions of the file it should keep. For example, if
you set this value to 5, if a file is replaced 5 times on a remote device, you
will see 5 time-stamped versions on that file in the “.stversions” folder on
the other devices sharing the same folder.
.stversions folder inside the normal
folder path. If you set a custom version path, please ensure that it’s on the
same partition or filesystem as the regular folder path, as moving files there
may otherwise fail. You can use an absolute path (this is recommended) or a
relative path. Relative paths are interpreted relative to Syncthing’s current
or startup directory.
The following intervals are used and they each have a maximum number of files
that will be kept for each.
1 Hour
For the first hour, the most recent version is kept every 30 seconds.
1 Day
For the first day, the most recent version is kept every hour.
30 Days
For the first 30 days, the most recent version is kept every day.
Until Maximum Age
Until maximum age, the most recent version is kept every week.
Maximum Age
The maximum time to keep a version in days. For example, to keep replaced or
deleted files in the “.stversions” folder for an entire year, use 365. If
only for 10 days, use 10.
Note: Set to 0 to keep versions forever.
/Users/jb/bin/onlylatest.sh (i.e. the
bin directory in my home directory):
#!/bin/sh set -eu # Where I want my versions stored versionspath=~/.trashcan # The parameters we get from Syncthing folderpath="$1" filepath="$2" # First ensure the dir where we need to store the file exists outpath=`dirname "$versionspath/$filepath"` mkdir -p "$outpath" # Then move the file there mv -f "$folderpath/$filepath" "$versionspath/$filepath"I must ensure that the script has execute permissions (
chmod 755
onlylatest.sh), then configure Syncthing with command /Users/jb/bin/onlylatest.sh %FOLDER_PATH% %FILE_PATH%
Lets assume I have a folder “default” in ~/Sync, and that within that folder
there is a file docs/letter.txt that is being replaced or deleted. The
script will be called as if I ran this from the command line:
$ /Users/jb/bin/onlylatest.sh /Users/jb/Sync docs/letter.txtThe script will then move the file in question to
~/.trashcan/docs/letter.txt, replacing any previous version of that letter
that may already have been there.
