WebDAV integration not working

[TheSunCat]

Hi! I'm trying to set up the webdav integration, but with no success. I've set LOGLEVEL=trace, and see no logs containing the string webdav. Here's my .userprofile:

integrations:
  - provider: webdav
    id: fLAME8YBm5uFJ89GKRAFkGjk7hJw0heow045kfhc
    name: Nextcloud
    address: https://my.nextcloud.com/remote.php/dav/files/my-account/reMarkable
    username: "my-username"
    password: "my-totally-secure-password"

My understanding is that this should sync my files to my Nextcloud server, but I see nothing in the folder I created.

I have verified I can connect to the folder using Dolphin (file manager), and create files successfully, so this should not be an issue.

this just adds it as an integration, you have to manually export/import files on the tablet, it uses the "official" implementation

Ahh I see. Is there no current way to auto-sync my notes to Nextcloud? I'd like to share my notes with friends, but haven't found a good way to do so automatically.

@TheSunCat This also came as a surprise to me. Manually having to push your documents seems silly (that there's not at least an option to auto-sync). But I guess that's reMarkable wanting your subscription $.

I just asked about one solution here #247, but even if that won't work, I guess you could "just" mount your nextcloud on whatever system you are using to host rmfakecloud, and use a nextcloud folder as your config/data directory.

Guide for how to do this on Ubuntu Server LTS 22.04

_______ __Warning__ - Maybe a bit rough guide, I just copied from my own notes after doing it. Let me know if you have questions. I suspect the procedure will be similar on many systems (not just Ubuntu). Install davfs2, add yourself to the davfs2 usergroup ``` apt-get install davfs2 usermod -aG davfs2 $USERNAME ``` $USERNAME is you linux username. Create a user folder, and copy a the `secret`file to it. Also, change ownership and set permissions. Also "reconfigure" to allow non-root users to mount, and create the mount point. ``` mkdir ~/.davfs2 sudo cp /etc/davfs2/secrets ~/.davfs2/secrets sudo chown $USERNAME:$USERNAME ~/.davfs2/secrets chmod 600 ~/.davfs2/secrets sudo dpkg-reconfigure davfs2 mkdir $MOUNTPOINT ``` where $MOUNTPOINT is the full patht to where you want to mount Nextcloud. Open the `~/.davfs2/secrets` file and add your user credentials to the end of it (server url, username, password). OBS! Make sure to create a device password in Nextcloud for this). Add the following: ``` $IP_OR_URL/remote.php/dav/files/$NCUSER $NCUSER $NCPASSWORD ``` where `$IP_OR_URL` is either your local IP (if accessing on local network, e..g. `192.168.1..101`) or the URL if not (e.g. `https://nextcloud.your.domain`; `$NCUSER` is your Nextcloud username; `$NCPASSWORD` is the "device password" you cerated in the Nextcloud (webUI). (OBS! - You might also want to add this to the `/etc/davfs2/secrets` to allow root to mount during boot. If wanted, add in `/etc/fstab`): ``` $IP:PORT_OR_URL/remote.php/dav/files/$NCUSER/ $MOUNTPOINT davfs user,rw,_netdev,auto,nofail 0 0 ``` `$IP:PORT_OR_URL` because I used IP:PORT (e.g., `192.168.1..101:80`) here instead of just IP. Open `/etc/davfs2/davfs2.conf`, and if needed, uncomment the lines: ``` dav_user davfs2 # system wide config file only dav_group davfs2 # system wide config file only ``` Log out of the shell/ssh session, and log back in. Now you should be able to mount with ``` mount -a ``` if you added the line in `/etc/fstab`. You can also try rebooting the system to check that it mounts at boot. Then you just create a folder somewhere in Nextcloud, and use that as the `data` directory for rmfakecloud.
