A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

I searched quite a bit and wasn't able to find a conclusive list of available third party apps that can sync with Nextcloud. So I thought I'd start one for folks who might be interested. Feel free to chime in with any you've used!

Notes


macOS:

Linux:

  • Iotas - minimalist markdown notes app in the same vein as IA Writer.

Android:

  • Quillpad - Google Keep clone that supports Markdown. Fork of Quillnotes. There are some quirks with this one. For example, if you create a task list from NC WebUI version of Notes, the checkboxes will show up in Quillnotes, but you cannot check them off as complete. Has a promising roadmap.

  • Carnet - another Google Keep clone. This one has an app in the NC app store, so it has a web based counterpart unlike Quillpad. The Android app is weirdly slow to open. I'll need to test this one more.

Tasks/ToDo


Android:

  • Tasks.org - excellent Task app. Supports subtasks, categories, reminders, recurring events. It can also sync with Google but ewwww.

Handwritten Notes:


All:

  • Saber - Cross platform notes app. Akin to Samsung notes. This one is rough in my experience so far. But it has potential and I will be following to watch how it updates.

2FA:


Android:

  • Aegis - excellent 2FA app. I just recently migrated out of Google and Microsoft's versions and am very happy. To be honest though, I'm not exactly sure how the NC integration works on this one, but it is mentioned on their site:

If your cloud provider supports the Storage Access Framework of Android (like Nextcloud does), it can even create automatic backups to the cloud.

There are others I've tested, but not long enough to make any comments on. Les Pas being one of them. I'm happy with Immich, so didn't give this one a fair shake.

I am using Autosync to sync Obsidian between my mobile, a laptop and a tablet with the central point being Nextcloud. Running without any problems for ca. 3 months.

Oh very nice. Hadn't heard of that one. I'm running an instance of seafile that does a bang up job syncing and I could just leverage that for Obsidian. It stores data on the server in git-like chunks, which some folks don't like. But it's also what makes it stupid fast and has revising history. I personally love it.
