Auino back on LinuxI’m wondering why there isn’t some kind of “standard”/common #selfhosted server integrated in most popular #Linux apps to sync all their data and share them across your devices in a seamless way, just like #iCloud or other services do… may be a call for #Gnome or #KDE ?
Maât@maat that’s an option, and to write a first poc just for feasibility should take very little time… but the problem is: would it be integrated in existent ecosystems/apps?
@auinobackonlinux release a first MVP and you'll know soon enough. 😉

Nextcloud does some part of the job

@Teenage correct me if I’m wrong, but it just serves a file server… in this case, I mean to build a system to inject apps data (maybe through ad-hoc API endpoints?) and sync them across all of your devices…

SelfHosted is the opposite of a centralized #VendorLockin cloud. Centralized hosting forces you to use one specific product (the opposite of "free as in freedom").
The idea of #SelfHosting is to have " free as in freedom" choice. Enshitify everything with one specific common server is defeating the whole idea of #SelfHosting in the first place 😂

@hiddenalpha my proposal is not in contrast with your thought… right?

No, not directly 🙂 I think its just easier to agree on "some common server" in a closed eco system.

@hiddenalpha I totally agree. But I also believe it would be great to define and use some kind of open standard communication protocol, giving freedom of implementation.
