From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I use CalDav for calendar, contacts and tasks sync and share with the rest of the family.

Server is Nextcloud with WebDav/WebCal/CardDav and DavX5, Etar calendar, native contacts and OpenTasks on android. On Linux WebDav to access and sync Nextcloud files.

How do you use them?

Edit: Added CardDav for contacts.

Floccus is nice to sync browser bookmarks via Webdav (it also has a Nextcloud addon)

In general there are a lot of note taking apps that allow syncing notes via Webdav. I recently came accross this one which works quite nicely: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/io.github.quillpad/

I'm running a yunohost server with a Nextcloud instance on top. I've got nextcloud syncing my files, of course. I use WebDav/WebCal for syncing all of my contacts and calendars across my linux and android devices.

I use webdav on my VPS (running Debian / Apache) for syncing my keepass vault, 2FA vault, and specific files (including vehicle/generator maintenance logs) across my devices. Obviously, everything is encrypted up the wazoo (well... maybe not the generator maintenance log) - and backed-up (admittedly to GDrive, but it uses a 12kbit key, so have fun decrypting it).

I am, however, of the opinion that not having any sort of digital footprint can appear very suspicious, so I maintain a completely normal-looking-and-innocent collection of contacts, calendar, tasks in my GMail.

Is there a lightweight sever for WebDAV? Or is running NextCloud the best option?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I think Nextcloud is an easy option. Lots og dedicated WebDav servers out there. For CardDav and CalDav (Contacts and calendar) I rembember that Radicale is a good bet: https://radicale.org/v3.html
