Why and How

Floccus (https://github.com/marcelklehr/floccus) is a great browser extensions that allows you to sync your browser bookmarks with your selfhosted server (e.g. Nextcloud or a WebDAV server).

Due to browser restrictions, you can't store your browser bookmarks in a local file and then sync it with Dropbox, Syncthing, rsync etc. LoFloccus aims to make this possible by introducing a small companion app that is a secure, self-contained WebDAV server.

This tool was designed to:

1. Accept WebDAV connections from the Floccus;
2. Restrict Floccus access to a single directory and read/write access limited to *.xbel and *.html bookmarks files;
3. Generate a random port, username and password for each setup;
4. Store your XBEL/HTML bookmarks location and other settings across sessions;
5. Minimize to Windows tray / macOS top menu bar.

Enjoy the best of Floccus and combine it with favourite sync tool!
