Australian universities are decommissioning OwnCloud, which gave me access to WebDAV to sync my Zotero library across devices. I want to use an old Mac Mini (Intel running macOS 10.15) as a WebDAV server. I've tried already installing OwnCloud and NextCloud but I couldn't install Docker (for OwnCloud) or PHP (for NextCloud) because of compatibility issues between the Docker/PHP and my macOS (which I don't want to upgrade to avoid slowing down my already slow Mac Mini...). My question is: since I only need WebDAV, what other (possibly simpler) options could I explore?

I used Apache's webdav server for years for this kind of thing.

Caddy also has webdav support:

What year is your old Mac mini?, I upgraded my 2012 mini with open core legacy patcher to run Ventura, and it’s faster now and I installed the latest version of docker with any issues.
