  1. syncthing-android

    Discontinued Wrapper of syncthing for Android.

    The only edge case was my phone where it's more of a pain. Both getting on my LAN (sure, vpn is an option) and networking the storage. So I have syncthing syncing my obsidian vault between my NAS & phone. It breaks through my NAT and syncs the files.

  3. obsidian-remote

    Run Obsidian.md in a browser via a docker container.

    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

  4. logseq

    A local-first, non-linear, outliner notebook for organizing and sharing your personal knowledge base. Use it to organize your todo list, to write your journals, or to record your unique life.

    Logseq... https://logseq.com/

  5. obsidian-livesync

    I found obsidian-livesync the other day and made it run fairly easily. Before that I had syncthing but it was creating conflicting files.

  6. Outline

    The fastest knowledge base for growing teams. Beautiful, realtime collaborative, feature packed, and markdown compatible.

  7. vscodium

    binary releases of VS Code without MS branding/telemetry/licensing

    VScode/VSCodium + Foam + Github/Any gitprovider or Syncthing

  8. Trilium Notes

    Build your personal knowledge base with Trilium Notes

  9. silverbullet

    The knowledge tinkerer's notebook

    https://github.com/silverbulletmd/silverbullet This has been my alternative for Obsidian for a while now, and it has support to run it as a server with several frontends or whatever.

  10. dave

    Discontinued A totally simple and very easy to configure stand alone webdav server

    dave + orgzly

  11. obsidian-diy-sync

    Obsidian.md plugin + expressjs server for syncing and publishing markdown content

    I wrote https://github.com/cobypear/obsidian-diy-sync as a self hostable sync server+plugin. It spits out a /blog endpoint too so you can grab them for a blog or docs site. it's still mostly mvp, feel free to fork it or open issues!

  12. Perlite

    A web-based markdown viewer optimized for Obsidian

  13. Code-Server

    VS Code in the browser

    There are web based VSCode you can run. Or if you push to Github that with give you a good read and a ok write experience. I treat mobile as a read only so I use Markor.
