Hello everybody,
this is really true. I'd like to run syncany on my server without a screen.
To make this work, I changed some parts in the code.
Basically i added a new configuration parameter "headless".
Sample Config:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<syncany>
<username>albisser</username> <!-- optional -->
<machinename>ch1w47039</machinename> <!-- optional -->
<userimage>system</userimage> <!-- optional -->
<service-enabled>true</service-enabled> <!-- optional -->
<autostart>true</autostart> <!-- optional -->
<notifications>true</notifications> <!-- optional -->
<headless>true</headless> <!-- optional -->
...
</syncany>
If headless is "true", the GUI will not be initialized and calls to the
tray or the configuration wizard are omitted.
A patch is attached.
Of course, this is just a dirty hack. I think Isaacs Idea to implement
an Server API and a GUI Client in to separat applications is the right
way. I also attached a diagram, how the new architecture might could
look.

Title:
Daemonize Syncany Core & Externalize GUI
Status in Syncany:
New
Bug description:
The Syncany GUI is currently a core part of Syncany. Launching and
controlling Syncany without a GUI is not possible. In order to
interact with Syncany by other programs, it might be useful to
externalize the GUI in a separate application.
This bug is meant to discuss details for this blueprint:
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/syncany/+spec/daemonize-core
What do you guys think of that? How could this be realized? Any
volunteers?
