Guide: Obsidian with free, self-hosted, instant sync
I’ve been using Obsidian with the LiveSync plugin by vrtmrz for over a month now and not counting the Arr stack, this plugin is without a doubt, the single-best self-hosted service that I run on my server. I use it multiple times a day and at this point I can’t live without it. So I decided to contribute back to the community, which has taught me so much, by sharing my experience and also writing a detailed guide. I found that most guides gloss over crucial steps, but then again I rarely know what I’m doing, so take my guide with a pinch of salt.
I’m still over the edge if I should go this route or continue with my current setup: syncing everything via Resilio Sync across my different VPS and my mobile apps.
