[Nix-dev] syncthing questions

[Sergey Mironov]

Hi, List! I have two questions regarding Syncthing synchronization
service. They may be not strongly related to Nix but I'd like to ask
here before going to the upstream's forum.

1) I've upgraded NixOS installations on both desktop and server
workstations recently. After the upgrade I noticed that syncthing IDs
were changed, so I had to re-setup the connection using Web-GUI. Is it
possible to preserve the IDs ? Or should we think about making this
type of configuration static by providing NixOS wrappers for
'device'/'folders' options? (I am not sure if it is possible or not)

2) I keep my synced data in the /home/syncthing folder and I want it
to be of 'syncthing:users' user/group with 770 permissions. Older
NixOS setup seems to handle it well, but the new one seems to reset
the permissions to 'syncthing:root' 700 every hour. Could it be a
systemd new behavior or it's the syncthing who does this?

Sergey
