< p > < a class = "reference external" href = "https://www.zotero.org/" > Zotero< / a > is an Open Source tool that lets
you organise your bibliography, syncing it with the cloud. Unlike other
alternatives such as < a class = "reference external" href = "http://www.mendeley.com" > Mendeley< / a > , Zotero can
upload the attachments and data to a private cloud via WebDav.< / p >
< p > If you use nginx as your web server, know that even though it provides
partial support for webdav, Zotero needs more than that. Hence, you will
need another webdav server, and optionally let nginx proxy to it. This
short post provides the basics to get that set-up working under
Debian/Ubuntu.< / p >

< / td > < / tr > < / table > < p > Ideally, you want your webdav folders to be private, adding
authentication to them. So you need to create the webdav and zotero
users and add the passwords to an htpasswd file. Even though you could
use a single user, since you will be configuring several clients with
your credentials I encourage you to create the zotero user as well. This
way you can always change the password for zotero without affecting any
other application using webdav.< / p >
