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

Review the APT download page at https://apt.syncthing.net/ and its existing installation instructions. Add the systemd enable and start commands shown in the issue, with context explaining why they are needed for browser access; the page is done when users can find these steps after installing syncthing.
