I am also using KeepassDX and Nextcloud. I’ve had this setup for years and never had an issue with syncing.

Back in 2020, those of us who had been using the OnlyOffice community document server were greeted with a notification stating that mobile editing was no longer supported and that we’d have to buy their commercial product.

Some folks quickly figured out a patch. Others, like myself, left with a bad taste in our mouths.

Tell me more about your use case.

I do something like this for work. I’ll share what I use. Take what works for you, leave what doesn’t. My feelings aren’t hurt.

Hardware: I have two TVs that are driven by Amazon Fire sticks. The software is an Android app, and we picked up the sticks on sale for $20 each. I’ve not tested the software on other hardware, but it should work on any Android based device. I have plans to switch to Android on a Raspberry Pi or similar. It’s only matter of time before Amazon breaks my setup, but for the time being (and for the last two years) this works without issue and was extremely cost effective.

Software: I want to recommend “Slideshow” by Milan Fabian. It’s an incredibly full featured slideshow app that will display anything that you throw at it (image files, videos, PDFs, spreadsheets, and more). It can also display web based things like a webpage or YouTube video. You can set timers so that certain content is displayed certain times of day. You can set times and dates so that content that is no longer relevant is no longer displayed. My description here really doesn’t do it justice. You should check it out.

My use case: I work for a school that is in a shared space. Beginning at 7am, the TVs show a slideshow of announcements from the school. It also cycles a music playlist of MP3s that are uploaded to the device. At 4pm, the TVs switch over to a web-based dashboard of where individual classes are in the building and which supervisor is closing the building (I built the dashboard in Home Assistant and it is unrelated to the Slideshow app). At 6pm, the screen goes black and the music shuts off until 7am the next morning. Because we share the space, there is a different slideshow that shows on the weekends based on what that group wants to display. When Monday comes back around, it’s back to my content. My team builds our slideshow in Canva and then pushes it to the device, but you could easily use Google Slides.

I have had a very easy time running a variety services on single board computers using DietPi. Give it a look. It will save you time and headaches.

Here’s the real question… What licenses are the wheel and door using?

Mine is running on a HP 600 G1 Micro Computer Mini Tower PC. Right now, less than $80 from Bezos. It’s over powered for Nextcloud alone, but I’ve also got other services running on it, including Jellyfin.

It zips along quite nicely, but I’ve also followed the guides for tuning the server for best performance.

Are there certain features you’ve grown to rely on?

I use plaintext documents with markdown. There’s a markdown editor for the web. Markor is an excellent Android app. Take your pick of a number of text editors with markdown.

I have a Pi 3 running Home Assistant. I also have two Pi Zeros that I have MP4 Museum installed.

I use MP4 Museum to run projected Halloween decorations mostly but it’s great to have a little box that will take a video file from a thumbdrive and dump it out the HDMI port on boot.
