I tried to put that on an Ubuntu server I've got hosted somewhere, and gosh did it try to install a lot of stuff. Nor would it start up after it was installed! It felt like a whole lot of bulk. On the other hand, I've set up git repositories on that server (I don't put Syncthing there because I'm syncing many, many gigabytes of data), and a caldav thing with Radicale, and some HTML pages... Perhaps at some point will make sense to just install an omnibus package like OwnCloud. Eric
