I tried Syncthing, then I tried Nextcloud, and for the goal of just syncing camera roll and backing up my password manager, they were both a bit of a hassle.
Now I use Minio with FolderSync (Android App, I use the paid one, but the free is perfectly capable) to backup my camera roll and I wrote a very simply WebDAV server in Go to backup my (Android) password manager DB which only supports WebDAV, I sit NGINX in front of them both to terminate TLS and to handle basic auth for the WebDAV server, though I could easily implement basic auth in that too (again, my password manager only supports basic auth).
If someone can suggest a better password manager for Android with a good UI, good integration (e.g. auto-fill), has a Linux desktop app and can backup to WebDAV or Minio I'd jump in a heartbeat.
I considered Bitwarden, but I don't want to run the Mono/Windows server container, and I don't want to rely on the Rust port which is behind in features and is susceptible to the upstream breaking APIs.
Keepass2Android/KeepassDX with Nextcloud? I don't understand how running Minio with a custom built webdav server is easier than Nextcloud has integrated WebDAV access.
I used to run Nextcloud. Nextcloud did a bunch of stuff I didn't need, is a larger attack vector and usually took an entire afternoon/evening every time I needed to do an upgrade. So far I spent less time setting all this up, and writing a WebDAV server than any one upgrade of Nextcloud took me.
Minio is zero-maintenance, if it needs an upgrade I just pull a newer Docker image. My WebDAV server is fewer than 100 lines of Go and extremely easy to maintain.
I run Nextcloud in a docker image (on unRaid). Upgrades are a docker pull away too, never had any issues.
I use Nextcloud on my phone (Android) to backup my camera too, the automatic sync is wonderful and works well. It does stuff I don't need too, but it's pretty easy to use and setup and it integrates well with the OS (Windows and Mac at least).

Seems like alternative DB providers is in alpha stage right now.
Mono and netcore is not the same, netcore is one of the more wonderful things I've worked with if I'm to be completely honest. Then again, I also kinda like PowerShell
