            Bug ID: 203951
           Summary: syncthing-inotify
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Many People
          Priority: ---
         Component: Individual Port(s)
          Assignee: freebsd-ports-bugs at FreeBSD.org

Syncthing-inotify needs a service.  Unfortunately after testing some scenarios
the system would hang with large file limits causing an extreme delay on
startup.  Utilizing screen seems to take care of the issue

Further testing on a very decent hardware cluster sysctl kern.maxfiles does get
limited as syncthing-inotify needs to open files to watch for changes.  sysctl
-a |grep kern.maxfiles will certainly show you when this has been reached.  I
listed other affected sysctl functions below that will need to be checked.

Below is my service "watch" if we can add to syncthing-inotify.

#!/bin/sh

#
# PROVIDE: syncthing
# REQUIRE: LOGIN
# KEYWORD: shutdown
#
# Add the following lines to /etc/rc.conf.local or /etc/rc.conf
# to enable this service:
# watch_enable="YES"
#
# This program requires screen to run 
#
# Please Change the -target="" to the address that syncthing is running.  By
Default this is 127.0.0.1:8384 -target="http://127.0.0.1:8384"
# The API key will need to reflect that of what is generated by syncthing
#
# Adjust the following to match the desired file capacity in /etc/sysctl.conf;
#
# kern.maxfiles="2000000"
# kern.maxfilesperproc="2000000"
# kern.maxvnodes="900000"
#
# Larger file systems over will need these to run.
#
