For a long time, I used Syncthing for my Joplin notes. It was running as a Docker image on my TrueNAS server. The notes themselves were on the TrueNAS server, and from there, Syncthing would sync it to my PC and laptop, for example.
I am annoyed, however, at some desyncing issues. Have you guys got ideas on how to better solve this?
I use Zim Wiki + git. Or gollum wiki, which also uses git. Works both very well and can not only be synced but automatically merged.
What do you mean by ‘desyncing’ issues. I use Syncthing very heavily across my servers and workstations and I don’t have any trouble. I run my own Syncthing relay server for NAT traversal.
I just use rsync over ssh via a cron job 🤷
It’s been working fine for over 20 years on all my various PCs.
FWIW
rsyncalso works on mobile phones and VR standalone HMDs, via e.g.termuxorish… so it’s really on working fine on… pretty much anything with a terminal and a connection really.Warmly recommended.
Also if you need more than solely the last version, check
rdiff-backup.Yep! There’s really only ONE operating system that doesn’t do rsync over SSH. Can you guess which one? 😁
BTW: FolderSync does it on Android for free… https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=dk.tacit.android.foldersync.lite (only OK-ish GUI but it works).
Joplin has their own sync-server you can run as Docker container; free for personal use…
I second Joplin, great app and easy setup.
And since we aren’t in the self hosting community: You can also pay pikapods to host it for you: https://www.pikapods.com/apps#notes
(That being said, I personally prefer Obisidian with Git Sync)

@ZkhqrD5o Why would you do something as convoluted as that over the sync feature within Joplin? WebDAV would be the most suitable option, either the standalone app or as part of a full nextcloud install.
If you’re hosting nextcloud anyway you might also want to check out the notes app. It creates a
Notesfolder in your account from which you can edit the markdown files, has a nice markdown editor in the nextcloud web UI, and comes with Android and iOS clients so you don’t have to setup file access and find a separate markdown editor.
