# Syncthing on a Kobo eReader This installs [Syncthing](https://syncthing.net) on a Kobo eReader. Syncthing will be installed in `/usr/local/syncthing` with a udev rule `99-syncthing.rules` to automatically start it on network device detection. ## Build Run `make` to build the update tarball `KoboRoot.tgz`. ## Install Place the built `KoboRoot.tgz` file in the `.kobo/` folder of your eReader and eject it. ## Final steps To access the admin interface of syncthing you have to edit `config.xml` and replace `
127.0.0.1:8384` with `0.0.0.0:8384`. The config is located at `.adds/syncthing/config.xml`. Be aware that anyone in the same network can access the admin interface, so install a TLS certificate and set a password.
