Asking the hive mind: What do we know or recommend about using tools such as #logseq or #obsidian all along with #NextCloud or #Koofr? I'd basically like to sync notes between Android and Linux desktop and have read mixed statements on that.
Boosts welcome.

Logseq + rclone here, and does the job perfectly (without Nextcloud, because it is a major PITA).

@nik I can relate, and am currently still evaluating whether to use Koofr or Nextcloud here.🙈

@z428eu Koofr is not an option at all. It's not open source and not even self-hostable at all, and they lie on their front page ("Meet the only safe and secure european cloud storage" is a blatant lie). So absolutely no.

@nik Guess it depends. I'm doing hosting for HA customer systems 24x7 which consumes enough time to not want to have to do the same thing for my own stable tools too so I'm easy with paying someone to do that right (specifically given self-hosting doesn't make much sense if I "just" use some VPS or rented server but don't control the hardware underneath which I do not want to do at all for tools I personally rely upon), and using E2EE with keys stored anywhere but on their servers would be mandatory for this kind of data in any way. Having Hetzner Storage Boxes on my list to check too, but that's NextCloud again.

@z428eu Self-hosting is not about doing it all yourself. It is about the freedom of choice (you can pay **someone** to do it for you, but it is up to you who this "someone" is). If Koofr goes rogue or bankrupt, you are not able to pull your Koofr off and pay someone else to continue hosting it. That's the core point about self-hostable tools.

@nik I know. That's why I am resorting to standardized means of data access (such as WebDAV or rclone or whatever comes to mind) and always will keep my data fully safe offline as well. I wouldn't go anywhere near Koofr or something like this if they required proprietary tools or interfaces to access data stored in there. As soon as I could easily take data off there and move them over to, say, NextCloud or something else that uses the same protocol, I'm fine with that; from that angle I don't see the software itself being self-hostable /that/ hard a requirement. 🙂
