Nextcloud vs Syncthing for PKM notes? - eviltoast

I’d like to sync my markdown notes between devices (laptop and phone), which service is better: Nextcloud or Syncthing? Any other important idea I should know?, like latency times, or maximum number of synced devices, what if I edit the same note from both places without internet and then both get connected to a network… For example, I know Nextcloud let me have a history of the notes.

    I guess for me it’s mostly docker related. My number one annoyance is that it goes against docker convention to have configs be persisted, or really much of anything be persisted if it can be helped. I just migrated mine and configs belong in environment variables, and it took me a long time to realize that those configs aren’t updated if the docker’s environment variables are updated. That took me way too long to realize. So it’s functional, but doesn’t follow best practices. I guess I’m just a bit salty that I lost quite a few hours on it

      That’s not against docker conventions at all. It’s exactly what volumes are for. They even tell you which directories to mount as volumes to maintain your configuration.
