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
