Self-hosted LiveSync
Self-hosted LiveSync is a community-implemented synchronization plugin, available on every obsidian-compatible platform and using CouchDB as the server.
Note: This plugin cannot synchronise with the official "Obsidian Sync".
Features
- Synchronize vaults very efficiently with less traffic.
- Good at conflicted modification.
- Automatic merging for simple conflicts.
- Using OSS solution for the server.
- Compatible solutions can be used.
- Supporting End-to-end encryption.
- Synchronisation of settings, snippets, themes, and plug-ins, via Customization sync(Beta) or Hidden File Sync
- WebClip from obsidian-livesync-webclip
This plug-in might be useful for researchers, engineers, and developers with a need to keep their notes fully self-hosted for security reasons. Or just anyone who would like the peace of mind of knowing that their notes are fully private.
Important
- Before installing or upgrading this plug-in, please back your vault up.
- Do not enable this plugin with another synchronization solution at the same time (including iCloud and Obsidian Sync).
