Opencloud – an alternative to Nextcloud written in Go

thanks for the immich suggestion.

How have you liked Obsidian? I was going to use it but realized it pay walled sharing notes between devices. Looking into this again - are you self hosting Obsidian via LiveSync plugin?

Thanks!

I'm self-hosting Obsidian sync. I mostly followed the tutorial here: https://www.reddit.com/r/selfhosted/comments/1eo7knj/guide_o...

Except I wanted more security and multiple users. Instead of using the default admin user, I created one user for each person. Done in the "_users" database. Then create one database for each person. Assign each user as a "Member" to their respective database, not admin. Now each person has their own credentials that can access only their database.

You can simply put your vault in a cloud folder if you don’t want to pay for Livesync

Not OP but I'm a very happy longtime Obsidian user. Maybe a little unfair to characterize as "paywalled" given their sync service is optional (and works very well), and a directory of markdown files is about as portable and flexible as it gets for self-hosting.

Sync is a pretty core feature though for any such app, and it is paywalled for the many instead of the few who can figure it out for themselves.

Ok, maybe? But given Obsidian itself is FREE(!), IMHO charging $4/mo for sync is eminently reasonable.

Another alternative for sharing notes is git. This plugin [0] provides git integration to Obsidian making syncing with a git repo easy.

I have termux running on my phone with a cron job to pull in new changes. The plugin I mentioned is not very performant on Android unfortunately.
