My preferred method of running Syncthing is using Docker. Syncthing has their own official docker image at Syncthing Docker Hub. They also have detailed instructions for using Docker at Docker Instructions.

If using Docker Compose, then add this to your docker-compose.yml file.

syncthing:
    image: syncthing/syncthing
    container_name: syncthing
    hostname: my-syncthing
    environment:
        - PUID=1000
        - PGID=1000
    volumes:
        - /wherever/st-sync:/var/syncthing
    ports:
        - 8384:8384 # Web UI
        - 22000:22000/tcp # TCP file transfers
        - 22000:22000/udp # QUIC file transfers
        - 21027:21027/udp # Receive local discovery broadcasts
    restart: unless-stopped
