I'm a grad student, and just got an iPad for reading and annotating research papers.

I quickly realized I couldn't sync my library with it, though, because my Zotero cloud storage was full. And to solve that issue, Zotero wanted $60 a year for 6 GB, or $120 a year for unlimited capacity.

Luckily, inspired by you lot, I bought an older HP EliteDesk mini-PC a few months ago and put a 4TB SSD into it, with the goal of limiting my reliance on monthly subscriptions.

I've never used WebDAV before, but after sorting out some issues with Docker and Tailscale, I was able to make it work!

This little thing is awesome!!

I'm somewhat tech proficient, but have no familiarity with WebDAV. But after sorting out some issues with Tailscale, which I use to establish a VPN tunnel with my home network while at campus or away, I was able to make it work! I love it!!
