I’ve been using Obsidian for a long time. I enjoy it and all of its extensions. However setting up the app and syncthing on all of my systems gets irritating.
Any way, after a little looking around, I found Trillium notes. It doesn’t quite have all the extensions, but is easier to setup. Give it a look, see what you think
Have you considered using Obsidian paired with Syncthing?
I keep my Obsidian notebook in Syncthing folders and find it works well enough across Windows and Android devices. The plugins transfer too. You would only have to trust the authors when setting up Obsidian for the first time after pointing to the right directory.
You will have conflicts with certain files if you open Obsidian on multiple devices at the same time. The note.md files should be preserved, which I think is what is really needed.
That is actually what i’m attempting to move away from. Mainly just less to install when I inevitably wipe my PC again
Also its good for work PC’s where they are locked down. Don’t get me wrong though, obsidian is great, just a little awkward for my current scenarios.
I’ve been getting around that mostly with Chocolatey and other PowerShell scripts on Windows. I’m sure the same can be done on Linux.
Are you hosting the desktop or server version of Trilium?
It sounds like you may like NixOS if you haven’t tried it
See, now i’m going to have to find another PC to install that on. Lucky for me I have 2 less things to install, now my notes are hosted on my server
Also not bashing Trilium. If it works for you, great. It’s a self hosted solution to keep your notes. Can’t complain about that!
