I cannot figure out how to sync Joplin with anything, but I do use syncthing to basically back up my whole phone to my desktop whenever I’m on WiFi. Can I use desktop Joplin to access the syncthing folder and edit notes?
Why not just setup WebDAV sync? If you are concerned about US cloud storage providers use an EU one. I use Koofr personally.
I use Koofr personally.
I’ve started looking at moving away from Google one service at a time, and koofr was my choice as well.
I also really appreciate the separate additionally encrypted vault to store things I want more security on but don’t need to access regularly, like the backup recovery codes that bypass 2FA on your accounts everywhere.
Usinc WebDav with kDrive works well.
The only problem is that the Joplin sync folder has to be in the root folder for it to work.
Not a big desl though.
I don’t use Joplin, but I do use an iOS app called “Synctrain” to sync my Obsidian vault with my server running Syncthing. It has worked extremely well for a couple years. The only “issue” is the iOS app appears slow to respond (30 seconds or so until the server is listed as “online”).
I think you can with android but I have iOS so I use Joplin Server which has worked flawlessly for me for 3 years.
I dont really get what Joplin server is. You have to pay right ?
No, you don’t have to pay. There is a free self-hosted option using docker.
Joplin Server is basically a postgres database sync with a user management frontend.
You don’t need to use it with a reverse proxy. For the first two years I just used it on my local network’s ip. If I was away from home, I vpn’d and synced that way. But now I use it with a reverse proxy and everything is much simpler that way.
Maybe I can grasp that. I have yet to get docker working on a synology nas
I did that for years, so I can confirm. I only moved to Joplin server half a year ago and can say that it is way faster than filesystem sync when you have a lots of notes like me 😀
I’m not sure about your specific request. Here’s what I do. I have all of my Joplin notes encrypted. I run Dufs file server via docker (lightweight WebDAV server). Authentication is enabled. A reverse proxy is utilized through nginx proxy manager so I get https and access it from anywhere.
This should work regardless of what kind of phone or device you’re using as long as it has network access.
I dont trust myself to do anything over internet and I’m home most of the time so not a big deal. I keep hearing of nginx and reverse proxies and have 0 understanding. I basically just figured out what DNS and https are after 25 years of computing lol. I just never get actual training on all this networking and its very confusing now.
Seems like dpcmer and WebDAV are what I need. Ive read and watched so much on docker and I still do not understand what it really is.
There is a Joplin Server if you are into self hosting. Nextcloud also works well for this.
@bridgeenjoyer it’s possible but it’s not very easy for newcomers. It’s better to familiarize yourself with more ordinary sync targets (Nextcloud, Dropbox, Joplin Cloud) before diving into flaky world of P2P file sharing
Gotcha.
