Nextcloud Apps

If you use a Nextcloud server, there’s a good collection of apps (some official, some third-party) that work with it. The ones I use:

Nextcloud – main app, does authentication, file access, optional auto-upload photos
Nextcloud Notes – kind of like Google Keep, but simpler. (IIRC Carnet is more like Keep, and also open) Nextcloud Talk – instant messaging, supposedly can do voice but I’ve never used it for that
Nextcloud News – RSS reader that syncs your feeds and read/unread through your Nextcloud server

Plus these apps that aren’t Nextcloud-specific, but work with it and other sync methods:

OpenTasks – ToDo list (needs Dav5x to sync)
DAVx5 – Syncs contacts, calendars and to-do items between any CalDav, CardDav or WebDav servers and your Android system, so you can access them with any local contacts or calendar app. (For instance: K-9 Mail can use contacts from my Google account and my Nextcloud account, and Simple Calendar can do the same with my calendars.)
Floccus – Bookmarks manager that can sync across multiple desktop browsers and the mobile app, using any of several sync options including Nextcloud

Eventually I’ll familiarize myself enough with Alpine Linux and set up a manual Nextcloud…

OK! Eventually I’ll familiarize myself enough with Alpine Linux and set up a manual #nextcloud instance I can fine-tune, but for now, the snap package on Ubuntu made it super-easy to migrate it to a Linode.

Trying out Nextcloud

Finally set up a #nextcloud server for the household. Hoping to replace several big-company and ad-based services with it.

File sync/sharing: straight-forward, works well across desktop, web and mobile apps. May need to add storage.

Next step: to-do lists. Looks like Tasks will do what I want (both personal & shared lists), but I need a good mobile app to use with it.

Then I need to experiment with Carnet. Already moved from Google Keep to SimpleNote, might keep going.
