Is there a self hosted web based note app similar to Obsidian or Joplin? I’ve tried Trilium and its ether above my pay grade in terms of knowledge, or I’ve set it up wrong. I’m mostly looking for something that has support for folders or a tree structure, markdown or simple text based and all accessible buy web browser.

I’ve gone from using Joplin, to Obsidian, I love both but am tired of waiting for sync before accessing my notes on different devices.


UPDATE: I ended up going with Joplin and hosting my own Joplin Server. It has clients for every device I use and it auto syncs as changes are made. Initial sync takes a while, but once that’s done it isn’t a problem.

    For the mobile part …

    I do something similar with FolderSync and SftpGo and have Drafting (vague name) to create and edit notes.

    As for version control I just have all of the documents in a git repository on my Code-Server instance which I regularly commit and sync with a local Gitea deployment; nothing special. Though it could be possible to use something like Mgit with a Tasker automation in lieu of a data sync with foldersync/syncthing, I just haven’t looked into it in earnest.

      That’s interesting, it never crossed my mind that I could run git on my phone. But I think I want to look for a way to auto commit every day on my code-server instance, not sure if that’s possible at all. Drafting app looks nice, I’ll have a try

        That should be pretty simple to do with cron and a shell script. Whether you can easily do that within the container depends on who packaged it though.
