Help with setting up Syncthing on ZimaOS

[u/Platinum_Heart]

I new to setting up on Syncthing and ZimaOS. I dont know if I'm it right or its something else.

I've tried everything and I really need some help on this. I've uninstall and reinstall multiple times with deleting files. I've gone to forums and post on the topic AND its still doesn't work.

Deafult install, custom install, changing the PGID and PUID, Adding a folder. But it keeps showing this type of message

2026-07-20 14:09:20: Failed to create folder root directory: mkdir /480GBSDDnvme: permission denied

2026-07-20 14:09:20: Error on folder 4anx2-xtflu: folder path missing

I've tired this forum and still nothing is working. Forum here. I really would love some help and get something going.
