Create the user who should run the service, or choose an existing one.(Skip if your distribution package already installs these files, see above.) From git location copy the syncthing@.service
file into the load path of the system instance. On Debian 12, the path of the file is ‘/usr/lib/systemd/system’. I added the following line to the [Service] section of the file:
Group=users
Enable and start the service. Replace “myuser” with the actual Syncthing user after the @
:
$ sudo systemctl enable syncthing@myuser.service
$ sudo systemctl start syncthing@myuser.service
