Hello,

As of 651f8765b657e35baf85ac74a1f6b09ff71691cb, Syncthing's system 
service fails to sync for at least some users, including me.  Others 
have mentioned needing to roll back to before Syncthing 1.29.2.

I suspect the cause is a typo on line 548¹ -- "syncthin" instead of 
"syncthing."

Thanks,
Juli

There was indeed a bug in our package of Syncthing 1.29.2, that has been
fixed:

Thanks for pointing this out. I did test the service, but the code
containing that typo was not exercised in my testing, and it seems that
nobody tested that feature at all :(

Fixed in this commit:

https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/commit/?id=8bc831325a905dbd9015739b58e3a5138d2217da

Does the service work for you with these changes? Let us know so we can
decide whether to close this bug or keep it open.

I have installed guix on February 24, and from icecat, I could access the
syncthing page, see and accept an invitation from another device to connect
and share an existing folder, then the interface was saying that the shared
folder is synchronized but empty, although on the other device the shared
folder is not empty.

I just ran "guix pull", "guix system reconfigure /etc/config.scm" and
rebooted and now the folder is synchronized as expected. So it may be so
that the problem was fixed thanks to the recent bug fix that you mentioned,
thanks.
