Hi,  
I am getting below sync error when running okteto up. Deployment succeeded and I can see pod is created in k8s cluster.(I am running in k3d cluster)

Hi @prasanta,

The error you’re receiving is stating that your local machine (which runs syncthing in background) is rejecting the connections made by the CLI. It could be due to several reasons but the most common one is a firewall blocking the connection. In order to know what’s the root issue can you provide more information about your issue:

Do you have any firewall locally?  
Do you get any error from the command?  
What’s your okteto version?  
Do you have okteto chart installed in your k3d?

Happy coding!!

Hi @jLopezbarb , When I ran okteto deploy, it deployed successfully to k3d cluster and created pod -hello-world-okteto-6b796f756b-w2ft2

While executing okteto up -l debug I could see below ssh successful  
⠙ Configuring SSH tunnel to your development container…time=“2023-08-07T14:12:25+05:30” level=info msg=“ssh ping to :55519 was successful”

But down the logs I got error as below

⠴ Starting the file synchronization service…time=“2023-08-07T14:12:26+05:30” level=info msg=“waiting for syncthing local=true to be ready”

@prasanta, As I posted before the error is during the connection with syncthing, that’s why it’s not failing during deploy. In order to get more insight about the problem we need more data.

- Do you have any firewall activated locally? If so, can you try running the command again with it disabled
- Do you get any error from the command? After the logs your provided did it end up with an error or is in an infinite loop
- What’s your okteto version? Run `okteto version`
- How does your okteto manifest looks like? (removing personal information)

Hi @jLopezbarb ,

Thanks for responding. Below response

- Do you have any firewall activated locally? If so, can you try running the command again with it disabled- I run locally other applications such as tomcat and it works. Firewall not enabled.

- Do you get any error from the command? After the logs your provided did it end up with an error or is in an infinite loop- I get “Syncthing local=true didn’t respond after 1m0s”

- What’s your okteto version? Run `okteto version`- 2.18.0

- How does your okteto manifest looks like? (removing personal information)- I took sample app from okteto only. Below

build:  
hello-world:  
image: repo/java-maven-hello-world:1.0.0  
context: k3d-abcd1  
deploy:

- kubectl apply -f k8s.yml  
dev:  
hello-world:  
image: okteto/maven:3  
command: bash  
sync:
  - .:/usr/src/app  
forward:
  - 5005:5005  
volumes:
  - /root/.m2

Hi @prasanta

can you provide the output about the Syncthing service stored in `$OKTETO_HOME/.okteto/<namespace-in-use>/hello-world/syncthing.log` ? Are you able to access synching GUI? you can check needed values if you exec `okteto status --info`.

Hi @adripedriza

When I am running okteto up below contents

```auto
apikey: cnd
password: 41d65e3c-b250-41de-8d30-242b43857359
folders:
- name: "1"
  localPath: C:\projects\okteto\java-maven-getting-started
  remotePath: /usr/src/app
local: localhost:50664
remote: localhost:50663

```

Also I am unable to access “…localhost:50663”(pop up appears but I could not authenticate). Afterone min I am getting “activate failed with: syncthing local=true didn’t respond after 1m0s” in okteto.log

Also during one min when I run okteto status --info I get below message

```auto
 okteto status --info
 i Using zenith @ k3d-<domain> as context
⠹ Activating your development container...

```

@prasanta can you share the content of syncthing logs? you can find it at `$OKTETO_HOME/.okteto/<namespace-in-use>/hello-world/syncthing.log`

Hi @adripedriza,

Interestingly I dont see syncthing.log created. Only okteto.log is generated.  
May be I need some permissions to run the same on my system(I am running the script in powersheel as administrator through). Is there any workaround you can suggest to run synching?

@prasanta I cannot see your first message with the logs related to the issue. Can you post again the logs related to exec `okteto up --log-level=debug` command?

Hi @prasanta

to better debug what is happening in your case we would need all the output of the `okteto up --log-level=debug` command, from beginning to end. Could you send it to us? You can mask any sensitive information you consider.

Regards!

Hi @adripedriza,  
I think syncthing.exe is not allowed to execute in my system due to policy applied on my system. Not sure if there is any alternative or workaround you can suggest.

Thanks,  
Prasanta

Hello @prasanta,

Sorry to hear that. Unfortunately, [Syncthing is the service used to sync](https://www.okteto.com/docs/reference/file-synchronization/) your local files with the development container in the cluster. As of today, there is no alternative to use the `okteto up` command with a sync service other than Syncthing.

Best regards

Hi @adripedriza,  
Finally I could execute syncthing using remote development feature of intellij with WSL. Now it is working. Thanks you.
