Feature Request: Client / Server, remote location, multiple users

[mitchweaver]

Apologize if I'm misunderstanding, but is there no way to install buku as a server to enable for remote-access and/or multiple user connections?

I'm imagining for example a buku "instance" installed and an exposed port you could do buku --remote ip:port to access.

Currently this is theoretically possible by using the --db tag and having an NFS mount of the server's db, on each client. This works... but is messy.

Any plans to support this more natively?

for now, no.

i don't recommend to add any new feature request for bukuserver until the required package is update

for multiple user, the only way to do it is to use multiple ip and port combination with DB_FILE env variable point to different files

Please don't add any authentication, user management or other features like this to Buku. I like Buku because it is inherently single-user only and local-first, unlike many other bookmarking systems. Those features make installation more complex and are hard to get right, both from a UX perspective and security.

Should there be a need for authentication (i.e. to limit external access), such a thing can probably be achieved by proxying the access through a proper web-server (such as nginx); so I don't believe there's any reason to add it into the app itself.
