Poke around and find out (addendum)

The Nextcloud setup went well. That felt strange to write. I have been scared to do this for as many years as it has been since I first heard about Nextcloud.

A file server, calendar, contacts, notes, music server, tasks, RSS, podcasts, bookmarks, all running on the laptop, syncing to the phone over the home network. And over the internet through Tailscale when need be. The kind of thing that sounds like a weekend of breakage. It was a single fun day, and everything worked out at the end.

Unlike the last time I poked around, I read before I ran. Not everything. Enough. There is something to be said for tools built to be used as intended; they tend to work.

So, the system is still running. There has been no need for a reinstall, no crisis of confidence. The addendum writes itself.
