Description
Just a suggestion to add instructions for enabling the systemd service that comes with the syncthing package to this page (https://apt.syncthing.net/). Otherwise, users may install syncthing and not know why they can't access it in their browser.
sudo systemctl enable syncthing@username.service
sudo systemctl start syncthing@username.service
