# Upstart Configuration This directory contains example configuration files for running Syncthing under the "Upstart" service manager on Linux. To have syncthing start when you login place "user/syncthing.conf" in the "/home/[username]/.config/upstart/" folder. To have syncthing start when the system boots place "system/syncthing.conf" in the "/etc/init/" folder. To manualy start syncthing via Upstart when using the system configuration use: ``` sudo initctl start syncthing ``` For further documentation see [https://docs.syncthing.net/users/autostart.html][1].
