Syncing notes across computers from central server?


For a long time, I used Syncthing for my Joplin notes. It was running as a Docker image on my TrueNAS server. The notes themselves were on the TrueNAS server, and from there, Syncthing would sync it to my PC and laptop, for example.

I am annoyed, however, at some desyncing issues. Have you guys got ideas on how to better solve this?

Why would you do something as convoluted as that over the sync feature within Joplin? WebDAV would be the most suitable option, either the standalone app or as part of a full nextcloud install.

Linux reshared this.

Joplin has their own sync-server you can run as Docker container; free for personal use..

I just use rsync over ssh via a cron job 🤷

It's been working fine for over 20 years on all my various PCs.
