Trilium Notes VS obsidian-remote

Tried Obsidian for a while, loved a lot about it, but....mmm.

Obsidian out of the box is a bit limited; plugins are great and add tons of features, but then you start hitting issues with plugin maintainers abandoning plugins you rely on, or needing to make a decision between three different plugins that all do the same thing slightly different. Depending on your use case and expectations that may not be a big deal, but I really missed not having what I personally saw as core features not being officially supported.

(Also, FWIW, the sync service is a bit pricy for what it is. I get that it's how they're trying to monetise it, but...I would have preferred another pricing model, even if the total cost was just as high.)

I've personally switched to Trilium Notes which I'm finding nicer. One element I particularly like is that it has first class suport for notes being able to exist at multiple places in a tree simultaneously. I know it's a very personal thing, but for me personally being able to file notes in multiple locations "clicks" in a way that tags didn't.

A nice writeup on ways to use Trilium (although much of it applies to Obsidian too): https://github.com/zadam/trilium/wiki/Patterns-of-personal-k...

Then you come across Trilium and drop the mic

I move between machines a lot and prefer an online tool; I'm self-hosting Trilium Notes https://github.com/zadam/trilium ; this looks a bit cleaner but without syncing (or server-side storage) it misses a bunch of potential use cases.

Try outline or trillium

There's also obsidian remote which let's you self host it.

This but consider using the dockerfile in this issue which switches the image to use kasmvnc and an actual recent version of obsidian https://github.com/sytone/obsidian-remote/issues/51

I have written it in github issue

That said, this project that makes obsidian available via a web browser might work great for you. https://github.com/sytone/obsidian-remote

I spent some time today trying to get obsidian-remote working on my Synology NAS but I haven't had luck yet. The container starts up, but it can't access some of its own ports for some reason. Might still try to do some troubleshooting.
