How to self-host Syncthing
Syncthing can be deployed with standard Docker Compose using the Yantr app catalog. This page collects the basic information searchers usually need first: what Syncthing does, which Docker image Yantr uses, default ports, deployment notes, and where to find the original compose template.
After deployment, Yantr lets you publish additional ports from the stack page using Docker-style syntax. Use 8080:8080 for a fixed host port or just 8080 to let Docker assign a random port.
Use Cases
What people run it for

- Keep important documents synchronized across your laptop, desktop, and server without using Dropbox or Google Drive.
- Create a private backup solution - sync to a secondary device for redundancy.
- Share files with family members using device-to-device synchronization.
