Install apt / apt-get on OpenVix?

[steveharman]

I'd like to try to get Syncthing working on OpenVix. (https://github.com/syncthing/syncthing).

The usual way would be
apt install syncthing after adding the appropriate repo. However OpenVix doesn't seem to ship with apt.

Does anyone have any thoughts on how I could install it (and sudo) ?

Thanks

I managed to get the Syncthing (arm) tarball on to the box and it launches fine without error - cool.

Sadly though despite netstat showing a listener on the port I need to connect via for Syncthing admin (8384) whenever I browse to the box I get "Connection Refused" in my browser, almost as if there's a firewall on the OpenVix box.

I can find no sign of ipfw or iptables - could something else be limiting inbound connections?

I've no experience of syncthing - so this might be egg-sucking irrelevance ;) - but the docs (https://docs.syncthing.net/users/firewall.html) suggest you need to change the default listen address (to 0.0.0.0:8384) or tunnel via ssh.

Hi! That's interesting, thanks. I hadn't considered ssh tunneling, it hasn't been necessary on any other Linux-based install of Syncthing that I've done.

Cheers!
