-   I've set up [[syncthing]] on my [[YunoHost]] box.  I already had it on my desktop and my mobile.  The whole point of Syncthing is kind of that it's [[P2P]], without a central server, but I thought this might be handy as an extra node for those two to sync between.  I do occassionally get sync conflicts when I've edited stuff on both while they weren't in communication with each other.  It's not a **central** server, just a more available node, I guess.

-   [[Syncthing]] or sync via [[NextCloud]]?  I think I prefer via syncthing where it's possible, because it's P2P.  You don't rely on some central server to always be available.  That said, it can be really handy sometimes.  It made Calibre-web setup pretty easy for example, and photo syncing too.

-   I've set up a [[basic automatic photo sync from my phone to NextCloud]].  Chuffed to get that working.  I struggled in the past with syncthing for that some reason I've forgotten now, and it made me have to stick with Google Photos.
