I have installed Syncthing via Portainer and all is well. I am now trying to sync a folder from my desktop to a shared folder on my NAS. I can not seem to find where the Shared Folders are actually mounted. I am use to them being mounted to /mnt or /media.
Can anyone tell me the path to the shared folders?
Thanks

Re: Path to shared folders? Using Syncthing container.
Trying to understand what you are doing, is this a container setup?
What are the host directory and container directory?
You should choose the existing folder under Volume1 as the host directory.

Re: Path to shared folders? Using Syncthing container.
Syncthing is installed as a container and is working just fine. Within Syncthing I am syncing a local folder to a folder within a shared folder on the NAS. I have to provide the path to that folder, for example /mnt/sharedfolder. This really isn't a docker/container issue I don't think. I just didnt now where to ask.
It is the the Folder Path towards the bottom of the attached picture.

Re: Path to shared folders? Using Syncthing container.
When setting up the Syncthing container, do I need to provide the path there?
I am very new to docker, so I understand it is most likely my lack of knowledge.

Re: Path to shared folders? Using Syncthing container.
If you are running Syncthing in a Docker container via Portainer, the shared folders from the NAS may not be directly accessible in the container unless they are explicitly mounted. Check the container settings in Portainer to see if any volumes are mapped.
Common Mount Points:
Check /mnt and /media as you mentioned, but also look in:
/srv
/opt
/data
Using SSH: If you have SSH access to your NAS, you can log in and check the mount points by running:
bash
Copy
df -h
This will show you all mounted filesystems and their paths.
Syncthing Configuration: In Syncthing, you can specify the folder path in the configuration. Make sure the folder path you are trying to sync matches the actual path where the shared folder is mounted.
Portainer Volume Configuration: In Portainer, check the volume settings for your Syncthing container. It should list any volumes that have been mounted from the NAS.
