syncthing-quick-status

Because sometimes I'm too lazy to open the browser.

An elegant(?), fast(?) and colorful(!) solution to have the complete(?) syncthing status in a jiffy(?).

Dependencies

• bash 4+
• curl
• jq
• coreutils (for numfmt)
• works on Linux as well as on MacOS

Env variables

• SYNCTHING_API_KEY.
• SYNCTHING_CONFIG_FILE, the place where it'll look for the api key if not given in the variable above. Defaults to $HOME/.config/syncthing/config.xml on Linux and $HOME/Library/Application Support/Syncthing/config.xml on MacOS.
• SYNCTHING_ADDRESS, defaults to localhost:8384.

Arguments

• -v: verbose, show devices/folder ids and a selection of latest log messages (which is specially helpful for more details about "out of sync" folders).
