I’m completely new to selfhosting but see a lot of potential. I wonder if anyone knows a good way to self host a notetaking app? The point is that I need to access my notes on multiple devices so self hosting them could be a nice idea. I currently use google keep and goodnotes but would like to leave those behind…

    I setup nextcloud and just use that to backup my Obsidian notes. But I also use next cloud deck depending on the type of notes or list I’m making

      Obsidian but with syncthing here, just syncs the files across my devices.

      You should take a look at the selfhosted live sync plugin for obsidian. It’s been working flawlessly for me for the past year.

        Doesn’t it actually require you to sign up to an account on some app hosting platform, rather than self host it?

          No, but that is an option if you dont have the hardware to self host it. I have it on one of my vms on my server in the basement.

          EDIT: I just took another look at the github repo and it kind of looks like you can’t just selfhost it, but you can, the main readme is just a little confusing. Click on the “Setup your CouchDB” link in the manual section and the selfhosted via docker guide is there.
