Adding a new device to a Syncthing cluster

Say you have N devices all sharing data with each other with Syncthing. How do you bring the next device (L) into the fold?

• On L, set up a remote device to one of the devices in the cluster (call it R) with the Introducer flag set. I think any device will do here, but I guess you could just designate one of them as the "hub" device.
• On R, you should get a notification that L is trying to connect. Say yes.
• Also on R, go into the folders you want to share and make sure to share them with the new device L.
• Eventually the devices that are connected to R already will be added to L though the remote R introducer.
