This is an intersting thread because I read through the lines the concerns that many have about losing parts of their homelab. Something I too am concerned about. While I have learnt to put my data securely on NAS with docker compose (I.e. docker image runs on VM while data i s stored on NAS and nas dataset is mounted via NFS on VM), in still not clear ho I save the config on the docker container. Basicalky, if I want to move that docker image to a new VM, how do I go about it?

I’m also looking into this a bit as I’m ditching Nextcloud and need a more modulare approach to managing the three things i care about: calendards, files and bookmarks. Sorted calendars with Radicale (superb) and files with Syncthing but now looking at the bookmarks. This (https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted?tab=readme-ov-file#bookmarks-and-link-sharing) has several solutions proposed. lingding and linkwarden seem to be good and reasonable active on Github. Anyone compared these?

Yes, it returning the right address:port 192.168.0.2:5234 but as I said earlier, the problem was me mis-spelling the config folder so it was ignoring the config file.

Turned out I had created /etc/radical rather than /etc/radicale and of course the app was looking for a folder that didn’t exist. I can confirm the above procedure works for anyone trying to install it.

Ok, removed the conflicting bit but it made no difference. I wonder if this is to do with ‘radicale’ user not being able to open ports or something like that …?

Thanks. I’ll give this a try over the weekend since it appears to have worked for others. This is something I would have expected the developers to have implemented. Multiuser computers is not that rare …

Server is Truenas Scale. Syncthing is running as app. I and wife have it installed on Android phones. We both share a Debian 12 laptop with different logins. We both want to keep respective phone synced with laptop login. We want to have a folder shared on nas where we can exchange files.

I actually do have an always on server and I was planning on using it as a client-server type system. I think that the file sharing option is complicated to implement. I tried to launch syncthing in my wifes environment on the laptop and while I get a new ID, when I register it with the server, it complains saying that there are conflicts with the IDs for the device. I wonder if its getting confused by having two IDs against the same IP

Mmm, Seafile is is developed by an for-profit organisation. Looks interesting but might stick with nextcloud if I have to move to Seafile. Syncthing seems really robust and simple. I think its just the file sharing bit that I’m missing. Nextcloud is just a beast.

Its an unlikely event that both would be editing the same file at the same time. I think I’ve achieved this. Been messing with Syncthing today. we each have a “shared” folder on our phones and the server has one too. I selected to share with both devices.

The trick now is when you have a PC with multiple users that want to share that “shared” folder. I need to work that one out … :-)

So this is where I’m getting confused. Say I want to share a folder with my wife. We each have a phone: Phone_1 and Phone_2. I need to create two devices (Phone_1 and Phone_2) and 3 folders (my_folder, wife_folder, shared_folder). Phone_1 would sync to my_folder + shared_folder whereas my wifes phone (phone_2) would sync to wife_folder + shared_folder. All shared files would go in shared_folder. Both of us can edit files in the shared_folder?

From other responses to this thread it appears that Baikal does have a web UI so maybe it closes this gap?

Well, I was looking fo r the docker container but as my VM is Debian, I’ll go down the apt route which is official and maintained.

I solve this with immich too. Its a real game changer and agree with others that have indicated this as one of hthe best pieces of OSS.

What Made you make the move from Joplin to Logseq (which I didn’t even know of?)

OK, so seems like best way to install Radicals is on my Debian VM using apt. I wonder if anyone has compared Baikal to Radicale …

Joplin may ne good for you with notes

Isn’t that called “capitalism gone bad”? The principles of capitalism and that story about competitiveness is good but in a global economy where monopolies distort the market, by reflection you’ll have bending of rules which thrives thanks to a political class that is driven not by ideals, but rather personal interests and ego. Those that have the poet will abuse it. I’m not surprised at all. What is worse is that peoples brains are becoming numb thanks to social media. We are not able to think for ourselves anymore.
