Raspberry Pi OS headless installation
Sources:
From the desktop
Installation - Manual
Download the latest Raspberry Pi OS
Find the SD card :
1
sudo ls -ltr /dev/
Or
1
ls /dev/mmcblk*
Result should be something like
1
2
3
/dev/mmcblk0
/dev/mmcblk0p1
/dev/mmcblk0p2
mmcblk stand for SD card, 0 is the number and p* are for SD card partitions.
So here the SD card is /dev/mmcblk0
Install Raspberry Pi OS to the SD card
1
sudo dd bs=1M if=/path/to/raspberry-pi-os.img of=/dev/sd_card status=progress conv=fsync
When Raspberry Pi OS is installed, re-plug the SD card. At this point you should see 2 mounted devices boot and rootfs.

Allowing Outside Access to your Syncthing Web Interface
Edit ~/.config/syncthing/config.xml.
In the gui section, change
1
<address>127.0.0.1:8384</address>
by
1
<address>0.0.0.0:8384</address>
to allow access to any address.
Alternatively, if you want to allow access to local address, use the static IP address of the Raspberry Pi (need to be configured).
