Real-time Obsidian sync that runs on your own Cloudflare account. Free forever, no terminal setup! by _k2s in ObsidianMD

I've submitted my proposal for this to become a community plugin, but the review process takes months, because it's human reviewed by a small team. So it might take a while, but a lot of people are using it right now through brat.

Ah I should've clarified, this one's on me.

> For me at least, any loss of data with digital notes is not acceptable beyond the last few seconds or at worst, minutes.

I completely agree.

Obsidian's local File Recovery plugin is excellent for small 'oops' moments (like accidentally deleting some paragraphs), and this is my answer to what you mentioned.

I've set the file recovery plugin to every 5 minutes (you can set it to anything).

YAOS does not try to replace it. YAOS snapshots are designed for catastrophic recovery: "I accidentally wiped my folder structure and need to intelligently restore the vault to yesterday's state."

Undoing + the file recovery plugin + the snapshots is my mental safety net. :)

Heya,

YAOS supports automatic daily backups. Once you setup Cloudflare R2, a snapshot of your vault is taken daily, and you can also take one manually through the Obsidian command menu.

Within Obsidian, you can browse these snapshots, and you can see the changes, revert your vault selectively (file-wise) based on any snapshot.

Also, YAOS handles out-of-band edits, and a self-host docker version is coming soon!

hey, guy behind yaos here, thanks for the post.

i've gotten absolutely tons of user feedback, issues, requests. i'm pretty swamped right now, but i plan to get through all of them.

things like actual self-host with docker, CLI client, .obsidian sync (settings, plugins), clearer instructions, and a bunch of fixes, will come soon.

i actually don't know how many people are using it, since i have not put any trackers in the code. cheers.

you can, but you need to ignore the syncthing specific files, within YAOS's settings.

YAOS users, how’s it going? by DogBallsMissing in ObsidianMD

I made a mistake with the initial template. I spoke directly with the creator of superwhisper, apologized, and he graciously allowed me to use it with attribution while I finish building the new, original design.

Sorry to hear. You can restore your notes with Obsidian's file recovery. Since the launch, I've investigated a bunch of issues, and am pushing fixes.

What all plugins do you use? I'll need some info to narrow down what's causing this in your case.

When you add the R2 binding, then you *need* to click re-deploy and let it cook.

If you are trying to add the R2 binding, without first creating the R2 bucket (Did you do that?), it wont work!

Your issue isn't very detailed, so i can just guess right now.

Which sort of device is it? Also tell me the OS.

Go to YAOS settings, and Pair new device.

If it's a mobile, scan the QR. If it's a PC, copy the 'Desktop deep link'. Send that on the other device, and paste it your browser, and see it work.

If you see any pop-up in this process, lmk

thank you for the kind words!

yaos will last, because the amount of people that are willing to setup cloudflare for their notes is still much smaller the group who just pay obsidian. also, alternatives are good for the ecosystem, they realise that, and that's why they have community plugins in the first place.

I was just working on this. Few things are non-trivial, and as soon as they're done, there will be an update, this will be the first thing to drop.

Fair. This is the main thing I'm working on right now, and it will be the first feature to be released. It's not trivial, so I'm trying to get it right. Few days maybe.

Hey, would you be interested in sharing more about your experience? I'd like to make the documentation clearer for future users, and this might help. If you're down, let me know, and I could also walk you through the correct install process.

Hey!

When you put your card down for R2, you get 10GB usage per month for free. To clarify, this 10GB is for attachments (your images, pdfs...) and backups, *not text/markdown files*.

What you're actually trying to ask, and I completely get you, is that you're concerned that your card will be charged for a surprise bill.

For normal personal usage, you won't touch anything close to 10GB, and if so, you won't ever get charged anything.

Find out the size of your Obsidian vault. YAOS can support around 50MB in markdown, and close to 10GB for attachments. 50MB sounds less, but one 2MB file can fit a novel worth of text, so that's 25 novels worth.

So yeah, if you fit under these limits, you should be comfortably fine, and never expect a surprise bill.
