obsidian-livesync

This is the obsidian plugin that enables livesync between multi-devices.
Runs in Mac, Android, Windows, and iOS.

obsidian_live_sync_demo

It's beta. Please make sure to back your vault up!

Limitations: Folder deletion handling is not completed.

This plugin enables..

  • Live Sync
  • Self-Hosted data synchronization with conflict detection and resolving in Obsidian.
  • Off-line sync is also available.
  • Receive WebClip from obsidian-livesync-webclip

IMPORTANT NOTICE

Please make sure to disable other synchronize solutions to avoid content corruption or duplication. If you want to synchronize to both backend, sync one by one, please.

How to use

  1. Install from Obsidian, or clone this repo and run npm run build ,copy main.js, styles.css and manifest.json into [your-vault]/.obsidian/plugins/ (PC, Mac and Android will work)
  2. Enable obsidian livesync in the settings dialog.
  3. If you use your self-hosted CouchDB, set your server's info.
  4. or Use IBM Cloudant, take an account and enable Cloudant in Catalog
    Note please choose "IAM and legacy credentials" for the Authentication method Setup details are in Couldant Setup Section.
  5. Setup LiveSync or SyncOnSave or SyncOnStart as you like.

Test Server

Setting up an instance of Cloudant or local CouchDB is a little complicated, so I made the Tasting server of obsidian-livesync up. Try free!
Note: Please read "Limitations" carefully. Do not send your private vault.

WebClipper is also available.

Available from on Chrome Web Store:obsidian-livesync-webclip
Repo is here: obsidian-livesync-webclip. (Docs are work in progress.)

When your database looks corrupted or too heavy to replicate to a new device.

obsidian-livesync changes data treatment of markdown files since 0.1.0
When you are troubled with synchronization, Please reset local and remote databases.
Note: Without synchronization, your files won't be deleted.

  1. Update plugin on all devices.
  2. Disable any synchronizations on all devices.
  3. From the most reliable device(The device), back your vault up.
  4. Press "Drop History"-> "Execute" button from The device.
  5. Wait for a while, so obsidian-livesync will say "completed."
  6. In other devices, replication will be canceled automatically. Click "Reset local database" and click "I'm ready, mark this device 'resolved'" on all devices.
    If it doesn't be shown. replicate once.
  7. It's all done. But if you are sure to resolve all devices and the warning is noisy, click "I'm ready, unlock the database". it unlocks the database completely.

Cloudant Setup

Creating an Instance

  1. Hit the "Create Resource" button. step 1

  2. In IBM Cloud Catalog, search "Cloudant". step 2

  4. In resource details, there's information to connect from obsidian-livesync. Copy the "External Endpoint(preferred)" address. (*1) step 9

CouchDB setup

  1. Hit the "Launch Dashboard" button, Cloudant dashboard will be shown. Yes, it's almost CouchDB's fauxton.
    step 1

  2. First, you have to enable the CORS option. Hit the Account menu and open the "CORS" tab. Initially, "Origin Domains" is set to "Restrict to specific domains"., so set to "All domains(*)"
    NOTE: of course We want to set "app://obsidian.md" but it's not acceptable on Cloudant. step 2

  3. And open the "Databases" tab and hit the "Create Database" button. Enter the name as you like (*2) and Hit the "Create" button below.
