The limitations are purely on the iOS device. I am using Syncthing on iOS with Obsidian and no issues. Fully agree with wanting to avoid iCloud in all cases where one can.
(Also, sidenote: assuming gender is maybe not necessary: his => their)
- andix 5y agoThe iOS limitations are a given, we don’t need to discuss them. Joplin, as an example, allows syncing via WebDAV. Which you can easily self host. I know that Joplin works differently. Obsidian also has integrated sync capabilities, but it’s a proprietary protocol and you can’t self host it. And I guess this is a design decision of the authors. To sell their service. They probably need some money to pay their bills.
- encima 5y agoIt is proprietary? I mean the code is but I have no idea if the protocol is. Obsidian is a note taking app that saves to a folder. Any OS it runs on can use any syncing solution (as long as the OS supports access to those folders)
- ASalazarMX 5y ago> (Also, sidenote: assuming gender is maybe not necessary: his => their) On a personal note, please don't do this. I understand people choosing their preferred pronouns, but don't force it on others unless they have stated preferred pronouns too. Quick edit: went and looked at the developer team (https://obsidian.md/about https://obsidian.md/about). It's actually a man, a woman and two cats, so "their" is clearly appropriate.
- rcarmo 5y agoHow are you using Syncthing? What’s the actual app?
- andix 5y agoI'm also interested in that. I tried MöbiusSync, but it can only sync inside it's own folder. And Obsidian can only open vaults from it's own folder, or iCloud.
