Description Rémi G. 2013-09-14 17:58:40 UTC
OwnCloud integration in GNOME is getting better and better and is quite easy to set up thanks to GNOME online accounts. We will even have notes synchronization in the coming Bijiben 3.10 release.

It would be great to see also bookmarks synchronization with OwnCloud in Epiphany!

ownCloud designer here: This would be really great! I spoke to Claudio last year at GUADEC but so far we haven’t come around to this.

The related issue in our tracker is https://github.com/owncloud/bookmarks/issues/35

Hi, the bookmarks code has been rewritten from scratch. When you have a convenient opportunity to test the new version of the code (which will be present in Epiphany 3.23.1) please check to see if your issue is still a problem, and reply here. Thanks!

Hi, this is a mass close of all bugs in the NEEDINFO state. If you think this bug was closed improperly, just leave a comment, thanks!

Probably, the way to go for integration with ownCloud/NextCloud should be Firefox sync. See bug 665633.
Comment 5 hey 2017-08-24 16:20:33 UTC
The main issue is that Firefox Sync is not very easy to self-host. It’s written in Python and not easy to install: https://github.com/mozilla-services/syncserver

Unlike Nextcloud, which is in PHP and widely self-hosted. That’s why it would also be cool to offer that as sync. It’s already in the GNOME Online Accounts. :)
Comment 6 Michael Catanzaro 2017-08-24 16:25:24 UTC
I think it would be fine to support multiple forms of sync. We have already had requests for password sync with LastPass, for example.

But since Firefox Sync already works, and is much easier for a nontechnical user to set up than Nextcloud, this is not going to be a priority for Epiphany developers. So this is a "patches welcome" situation I'm afraid.
