Objective

Set up Syncthing on all VPS nodes so that a shared folder (~/shared/) automatically syncs files between every machine in the fleet. This is the foundation for all inter-wizard file sharing.

Nodes

Node IP Role
Ezra VPS 167.99.126.228 Wizard house
Allegro VPS (your box) Builder
Future Timmy VPS TBD Sovereign local Timmy

Requirements

  1. Install Syncthing on Ezra VPS (167.99.126.228) and Allegro VPS
  2. Configure as systemd services that auto-start on boot
  3. Create ~/shared/ as the synced folder on each node
  4. Peer the nodes so they discover each other automatically
  5. Web UI should be accessible only on localhost (security)
  6. Write a provisioning script (scripts/setup-syncthing.sh) that can be run on any new VPS to join the mesh
  7. Document the setup in docs/SYNCTHING.md

Acceptance Criteria

  • File written on Ezra VPS at ~/shared/test.txt appears on Allegro VPS within 60 seconds
  • File written on Allegro VPS at ~/shared/test2.txt appears on Ezra VPS within 60 seconds
  • Syncthing survives reboot on both nodes
  • Provisioning script works on a fresh Ubuntu 22.04+ box
  • Setup documented in repo

Notes

  • Syncthing is peer-to-peer, encrypted in transit, no central server needed
  • Use apt install syncthing or official repo
  • Default port 22000 for sync, 8384 for web UI
  • Bind web UI to 127.0.0.1 only
  • The provisioning script should be idempotent (safe to run twice)

Priority

This is the highest priority task. All subsequent file-sharing workflows depend on this.

Uniwizard (#94) context: Syncthing remains critical infrastructure. Now serves Grand Timmy, not wizard houses. Allegro — finish this today, it's Phase 1.
