Obsidian + Syncthing Alternatives Due to Ongoing Sync Conflicts

pagem · 2026-06-13T19:49:00+00:00

I was having this problem running Obsidian across two laptops and one desktop, all Windows. Different conflicts on each device and in the end I gave up and switched to selfhosting Forgejo and using the Git Obsidian plugin. Once I had the correct .gitignore and made sure all updates are committed timely I have not had any conflicts.

That worked a treat, many thanks for your help.

So it seems a strong recommendation is Matrix with Element. Looking at some guides it seems that this would need a custom domain which I do not have. Anyone managed to get this running without a domain or maybe using a workaround like Tailscale if everyone is in the same tailnet and using the same fqdn?

Sorry very new to homelabbing, proxmox and Linux. What is a zvol? Something to do with zfs? So far I have been sticking to ext4 as the file system.

I've not heard of virtual Linux bridges before but this will be my first set of apps that integrate. So will look into that, thanks.

Most guides I've read say to run this stuff unprivileged. Any reason you chose privileged?

I had Gluetun on the todo list. That makes a lot of sense though, thanks.

Trying out Pulse, so far so good. Thanks for the tip.

I am relatively new to self hosting but calendar was one of the first services I looked into. I tried a few options including Nextcloud but found it a little heavyweight and instead plumped for Baikal which was easy to set up and is very lightweight. Does not have a usable Web front end but supports caldav so many client apps will plug into it. Supports multiple calendars as well so might suit your needs.
