This allows environment overrides for our directories. This is
advantageous because, apart from the obvious, it means we can set it in
the Docker file and not add command line options there. Having the
command line option as we did meant that it was impossible to use the
Docker image for other commands than `serve` (because that is implied
when we see other options on the command line).
* cmd/syncthing: Remove unnecessary function arguments.
The openGUI() function does not need a device ID to work, and there is
only one caller anyway which uses EmptyDeviceID.
The loadOrDefaultConfig() function is always called with the same
dummy values.
* cmd/syncthing: Avoid misleading info messages from monitor process.
In order to check whether panic reporting is enabled, the monitor
process utilizes the loadOrDefaultConfig() function. In case there is
no config file yet, info messages may be logged during creation if the
config Wrapper, which is discarded immediately after.
Stop using the DefaultConfig() utility function from lib/syncthing and
directly generate a minimal config instead to avoid these.
Add comments to loadOrDefaultConfig() explaining its limited purpose.
* cmd/syncthing/generate: Always write updated config file.
Previously, an existing config file was left untouched unless either
of the --gui-user or --gui-password options was given. Remove that
condition and simplify the checking code.
* lib/config: Factor out ProbeFreePorts().
* cmd/syncthing: Add option --skip-port-probing.
Applies to both the "generate" and "serve" subcommands, as well as the
deprecated --generate option, just as the --no-default-folder flag.
Accept a subcommand as an alternative to the --generate option. It
accepts a custom config directory through either the --home or
--config options, using the default location if neither is given.
Add the options --gui-user and --gui-password to "generate", but not
the "serve --generate" option form. If either is given, an existing
config will not abort the command, but rather load, modify and save it
with the new credentials. The password can be read from standard
input by passing only a single dash as argument.
Config modification is skipped if the value matches what's already in
the config.
* cmd/syncthing: Utilize lib/locations package in generate().
Instead of manually joining paths with "magic" file names, get them
from the centralized locations helper lib.
* cmd/syncthing: Simplify logging for --generate option.
Visible change: No more timestamp prefixes.
Consistently use double dashes and fix typos -conf, -data-dir and
-verify.
Applies also to tests running the syncthing binary for consistency.
* Fix mismatched option name --conf in cli subcommand.
According to the source code comments, the cli option flags should
mirror those from the serve subcommand where applicable. That one is
actually called --config though.
* cli: Fix help text option placeholders.
The urfave/cli package uses the Value field of StringFlag to provide a
default value, not to name the placeholder. That is instead done with
backticks around some part of the Usage field.
* cli: Add missing --data flag in subcommand help text.
The urfave/cli based option parsing uses a fake flags collection to
generate help texts matching the used global options. But the --data
option was omitted from it, although it is definitely required when
using --config as well. Note that it cannot just be ignored, as some
debug stuff actually uses the DB:
syncthing cli --data=/bar --config=/foo debug index dump
