The idea would be to provide a “protect the kids” alternative that doesn’t require global surveillance and privacy violations, so the next time they try to justify another rights violation to “protect the kids” they can be pointed to the sane alternative, and (hopefully) they’ll run out of excuses.

I mean, one would wish it’ll play out like that, though I have some doubts. Somehow excuses seem to be always found.

The last of Uganda’s wild rhinos was killed in the early 1980s; the translocated animals come from a breeding program set up at Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary in 2005.

They were “extinct” in Uganda, not everywhere.

Glad to help!

Yeah, self-hosting often means trading more control for less convenience, some times more than others. Either way, I hope this setup works for you!

Note: For Material files, and most file managers really, nextcloud might not show up by default (“security” or something), but you can “add external storage” and give it permissions.

CF = content framework, android somehow decided that users shall not see and interact with “real” files and instead, have apps like nextcloud act like content providers and expose a file-like API …whatever, it is what it is, but in the end it works.

I’m currently using Material Files, but even android’s default file manager, bundled with the OS, shows Nextcloud in the left sidebar (your mileage may vary on this one, as each phone vendor tend to customize it a bit).

As for my setup, there’s really not much to it: I selfhost nextcloud, have KeePassDX and the Nextcloud app, and when you setup KeePassDX, select “Open existing vault” and in the sidebar you should be able to select Nextcloud and pick files from there.

I see where you’re coming from. I also really wanted that in my early days of android and nextcloud. Turns out, nowadays you don’t really need that for most use cases, and definitely not for KeePass syncing. Nextcloud app for android exposes all the files via content framework and KeePassDX can sync two ways via that. Other apps like Keepass2Android even have direct nextcloud support via WebDAV, though these days I prefer KeePassDX a little bit more for unrelated reasons.

I recommend you try either KeePassDX or Keepass2Android and see for yourself.

Also, most file managers support CF and will show you your nextcloud files as if they were real files on the device, even without “real” two way sync, and most other apps will be able to save & open files directly from nextcloud.

I use KeepassDX syncing via Nextcloud, works flawlessly. I also used to use Keepass2Android, also works very well.

Can you elaborate on the “nextcloud doesn’t support 2-way syncing on android” statement? I can sync my Keepass database back and forth without issues.
