Research direction

Open users/faq-parts/usage.rst around line 266 and review the surrounding FAQ text. Add the requested clarification that Docker and TrueNAS Scale users should apply the fix on the host system, then confirm the wording appears correctly in the documentation.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Suggest adding a paragraph to clarify/inform folks to apply the fix to the host system when running Syncthing in a Docker container. It took me hours to figure this out. I'm running it as an App on TrueNas Scale 22.12.3.3 (so, Ubuntu with Kubernetes under the hood).

Suggest adding On Docker images or a TrueNas Scale App you should rung the above lines on the host system, not the Docker container in question. after this line: https://github.com/syncthing/docs/blob/8fdf832cf4f6b5ca4cd83fecb9df53af5510f2a7/users/faq-parts/usage.rst?plain=1#L266
