I’ve been on the hunt for a Google Keep replacement and the most obvious choice is Quillpad. However it can only sync with Nextcloud and that functionality is somewhat broken. For example, if I create a To Do list in Quillpad, I can of course check the boxes as items are completed. I can do the same in the Nextcloud instance under Tasks. But if I create a To Do list in Nextcloud, you cannot interact with them in Quillpad after it syncs. They’re displayed, but you can’t do anything with them.

All that said, the other choices were Zoho Notebooks (don’t trust them) and Carnet (weirdly slow on my phone) as far as similar apps. Quillpad still seems to be the best. Is there a way to get an app that only syncs with Nextcloud to sync with something else? DavX, Webdav, Caldav, etc? The reason I ask is because I wanted to like Nextcloud, but my admittedly older server (HP Microserver G8) struggles even with the optimized builds and it just has way more features than I need. I have a feeling the answer is no, but thought I’d ask anyway before I continue my hunt.

    These tips are all solid, and reflect my setup. Database (MariaDB) and PHP files on the SSD, data storage on spinny bois. Don’t underestimate the importance of a recent enough version of PHP, OpCache, enabled, and so on.

    There’s a whole chapter on performance tuning in the manual, and the “Security & setup warnings” part of the administration settings should point out some configuration issues, when it finds them.

    My setup might actually take a (smallish) performance hit because I use btrfs for all my filesystems. Just don’t get roped into the whole “wsl on Windows” thing, that’s just not going to work out, it’s a kludge that MS offers to not bleed users to Linux too much, but it’s certainly not meant for server workloads.

    The hardware should not be the bottleneck at all, the 1265 in OPs machine should not be significantly slower than the 1280 in mine.
