Self-hosting with Podman
Additionally at some point people behind this product decided to change the licensing model, and allow the use of community editions for up to 5 nodes. It wasn't my case, but that pushed me to use something more independent. So I started using dockge, then added another service for docker logs, version monitor, and keeps adding applications that are fun to use, for example homebox or bookstack. It was fun until I released the cost of energy and maintenance effort need to keep it running, at my home. Every internet issue, or power issue takes my setup down. Maybe it was not happening very often, but when I wasn’t home, and the hardware was down, there was no chance to fix it remotely. And I started relaying on that service. That is why I simply decided to migrate to hetzner, and podman at the same time, and use remote NFS. However, let's start from the beginning.

Information flow - how I capture the notes
Joplin open-source tool, with paid Sync service. However, it supports WebDav sync. As a user of Fastmail have a lot lot of storage for it. Those parts work great, links, complexity level, and clear Markdown. Themes, mobile app, tags, everything I needed was there. Unfortunately, again, for short notes, my go-to app becomes memos, for long-form BookStack, seems to be the best solution. Why? Firstly my love for self-hosted solutions boomed, also Joplin even if looks perfect for my use case was some reason hard to describe and did not encourage me to write. Soo.. I back to Obsidian.
