[opensuse] Synchronization of notes
Hi, I'm looking for a way how to synchronize notes. So far I have been using KDE Basket. It is very nice application, but it has no support for syncing. My requirements are: 1) Running in sys tray of openSUSE with KDE (not necessarily KDE application). 2) Synchronization over custom server (I have SFTP, ownCloud, ...). So no solution provided by private company. 3) App available for Sailfish OS and Android (well, Sailfish can run Android apps, but native Sailfish app is better). 4) Web interface is not required, but nice. 5) Fully FOSS solution. 6) Having multiple notes, group them, and so. Rich text is not required. ownCloud offers in its app store several note apps. Does anyone have recommendations which to use? I'm bit confused by high number of them... QOwnNotes http://www.qownnotes.org/ also looks promising, but I'd like to hear some experience before trying to deploy it (or something similar).

It may not fulfil all your requirements, but Syncthing is worth looking at. Install syncthing-gtk to get a graphical interface on your desktop, and the Syncthing app on your Android device. Pair the devices, and share folders. Bob -- Bob Williams System: Linux 4.4.90-28-default Distro: openSUSE 42.3 (x86_64) Desktop: KDE Frameworks: 5.32.0, Qt: 5.6.2 and Plasma: 5.8.7

Thank You, but this seems to be like an alternative to ownCloud, not just syncing of notes. Yes, I can sync small directory with bunch of text files (in ownCloud, which I already have), but I'd rather something more specialized. Syncthing is definitely interesting tool.

I have been using Gnotes, a fork from Tomboy. Supposedly it supports syncing, but I have been unable to make it work. You reminded me to ask about that in another thread. I'm very interested in what you find out with your question. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)

So I installed 1) http://www.qownnotes.org/ from https://software.opensuse.org/package/ qownnotes from repository home:pbek:QOwnNotes (the official one). 2) ownCloud (I have 9.1.6) apps notes https://github.com/owncloud/notes and QOwnNotesAPI https://github.com/pbek/qownnotesapi on server side. 3) MyOwnNotes https://f-droid.org/packages/org.aykit.MyOwnNotes/ version 1.6 on Sailfish os (version 2.0 requires Android 5+ [despite in incorrectly states 4.1] while Sailfish provides only 4.4). Native app ownNotes https:// openrepos.net/content/mazimmer/ownnotes is unmaintained (although there is proposed simple fix to be able to run on Sailfish 2.1+). 4) ownCloud https://f-droid.org/packages/com.owncloud.android/ and MyOwnNotes https://f-droid.org/packages/org.aykit.MyOwnNotes/ on Android tablet (ASUS TF300T, shipped with 4.2, now running KatKiss 7.1). There is an issue with MyOwnNotes 2.0 https://github.com/aykit/MyOwnNotes/issues/154 at least for me, it doesn't work with MD files, only with TXT. So i downgraded to 1.6. So the notes are well accessible from any device and operating system, as well as on-line. Notes are stored in Markup, which is nice. Changes are traced by Git. It'd be enough to set up synchronization of ownCloud 'Notes' directory and edit them in any text editor. As a next step, I might add support for tasks with ownCloud server apps https://apps.owncloud.com/content/show.php/Tasks?content=164356 and/or https://apps.owncloud.com/content/show.php/Tasks+Plus?content=170561 (QOwnNotes supports tasks, calendars also). So I'm satisfied, it works well. -- Vojtěch Zeisek https://trapa.cz/
