Store browser bookmarks and sync via NAS

[SynoMan]

Is there any way to store browser bookmarks on a NAS and sync them through devices?

Well, Safari does this for me automatically via iCloud, but for none Safari users, there is this, as one solution:

GitHub - floccusaddon/floccus: :cloud: Sync your bookmarks privately across browsers and devices

:cloud: Sync your bookmarks privately across browsers and devices - floccusaddon/floccus

github.com

Also I use

GitHub - shaarli/Shaarli: The personal, minimalist, super-fast, database free, bookmarking service - community repo

The personal, minimalist, super-fast, database free, bookmarking service - community repo - shaarli/Shaarli

github.com

But this is not a sync tool, still, its a self hosted platform for bookmarks

One of the reasons I use FF on Windows, to sync back via iCloud to Safari. Annoyingly I have to also use FF sync to get the FF on Windows to maintain the FF on Mac's bookmarks. It's a pain. Still easier than the HTML page I used to maintain.

I'm on Windows using FF sync for desktop/laptop. On my mobile currently I don't need bookmarks sync. Well, it would be nice, but FF mobile version is not fast enough...

There is also a Firefox sync container.

 

[SynoMan]

This one: Docker Hub ?

Well, I'm extremely new to Docker, so Bitwarden for now is over the head

 

[jphermans]

Yes, think so. Don’t use it but I know it exist.

This one: Docker Hub ?

So if I set that container up in my Docker, how do I point my FF on my Windows and Android machines to sync to that container..?

Right now in my login script I've set a robocopy from %AppData%\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles to the Synology homedir. But that doesn't sync to my mobile phone at all.

I think that you have to fill in your nas as server on al your devices. Don’t use ff but will test it tomorrow.

I think that you have to fill in your nas as server on al your devices.

there is no option for that

 

[jphermans]

You have the possibility to sync your bookmarks with the ff server or with your own server. And that you can do on your nas when you install Firefox sync container. Link more info.

Hate to wake a sleeping thread... but...

I just stumbled into Floccus, and it is so simple. Simply set up WebDAV on your NAS, then add the Floccus extension to your browser. "Create" an account and all your bookmarks are on your NAS.

Then add Floccus to you other devices, and either sync, or simply download bookmarks via WebDAV.

No docker, no packages, no cloud... just the extension and a basic WebDAV folder.

Or this one:

GitHub - sissbruecker/linkding: Self-hosted bookmark service

Self-hosted bookmark service. Contribute to sissbruecker/linkding development by creating an account on GitHub.

Or this one:

Interesting. That one requires a running package. Floccus requires only a WebDAV folder target for self hosting. I like simple

 

[jphermans]

But for the mac safari users is this not a solution, but they',ve icloud.

Why?

‎floccus

‎With floccus you can keep your bookmarks private and in sync across all you devices, by syncing them via Nextcloud, WebDAV or Google Drive (even encrypted).

Oh, did not know that. Thanks.

Have tried the floccus app with synology but get always the same error 'E019: HTTP status 405. Failed PUT request. Check your server configuration and log.' I have even created a special user account on my nas without 2FA (what I normally use). Any idea why I got this?
