I've been wanting to see what the #ObsidianMD hype is all about, but I just can't get over how the only proper sync is the one that uses their own infra. I would love it if I could point it at my own infrastructure for that.

Sure, I could use sync clients, but those don't integrate well with the mobile app.

Guess I'm sticking with #Joplin.

#Obisidian.

@ainmosni I use iCloud to sync and it works perfectly

@konstantin but that's also not my infrastructure. (Also I'm not an Apple user) I would like to use owncloud, nextcloud, or even self-host an Obsidian sync server.

@ainmosni It lets you point to a place on the filesystem for your vault – how that folder gets synced is in your control, of course.

I also don't mind paying them for the sync feature, making good tools is not cheap, and I'm using it for work as well.

@konstantin it's not about the money for me, it's about not having my data with yet another third party.

@ainmosni Both OwnCloud and NextCloud support syncing a folder from your local file system, which is how I'm using iCloud to sync all my vaults.
