I tried to put that on an Ubuntu server I've got hosted somewhere, and
gosh did it try to install a lot of stuff. Nor would it start up after
it was installed! It felt like a whole lot of bulk.

On the other hand, I've set up git repositories on that server (I don't
put Syncthing there because I'm syncing many, many gigabytes of data),
and a caldav thing with Radicale, and some HTML pages... Perhaps at some
point will make sense to just install an omnibus package like
OwnCloud.
