I’ve been running multiple Joplin servers. One for personal and one for work. Hasn’t let me down yet. Always room for improvements, but it does reliable do the job. Easy import and export. No worries of being locked into anything.

If I serve you a 2000 line unformatted bash script from an URL and tell you to pipe it to bash, will you do it? Should you do it? Do you have the mental fortitude to format it and go through it line by line looking for possible exploits? It's 100% trivial to have it run rm or shred on all files you have access to while simultaneously printing correct looking install progress messages.
What’s the difference between that and downloading and running an installer?
If the installer is a precompiled binary, not much, though this is mostly a Windows-ism these days.
If we're considering the same batch script: You can read it,it before running and be sure that the endpoint doesn't dynamically give you different results depending on how you fetch it.
In either case, the proposal here was flatpak, which does provide security benefits like sandboxing.

#153With Joplin and Nextcloud on a self-hosted vps I'm basically done: access from mobile, linux, windows etc.

I understand your concern, personally syncthing does a perfect job for me. I'm never editing from multiple devices at the same time, and by the time I switch to another device the content is synced. If not, I give it a little time and it makes me pause and use computers a little bit less, so it's not that much of a downside.
How are you using Syncthing on iOS?
Oh, sorry, I didn't understand you were using iOS, I don't use Apple products and I didn't know there was no proper syncthing on iOS.

They said they're on Android.

#156Joplin is a solid option, using it along with Simplenote for some quick notes since Joplin's sync isn't that great.
But I was wondering whether there is somehting not tied to the simplistic markdown with next-gen note tech like rich text and CRDT for great sync conflict resolution and note history and non-Electron clients for performance?

Obsidian has everything but "Attractive web client", but it does have a native client. The "database" is just a bunch of directories you can sync with any tool you want.
Doesn't seem to have self-hosted syncing. Or am I missing something? And even if it's in there, $8/month for syncing seems to defeat the point of "self-hosted".
Like I said, the "database" is just a directory of files. You can use anything you want to keep it synced. I've used OneDrive, Dropbox and iCloud to sync mine.

#158My major problem with Joplin is the lack of a native client for Apple Silicon, otherwise it's great. I know you can run it with Rosetta but it's performance and load time is terrible.

How is the sync now? Does it only sync every 5 minutes, with the user requiring to manually press "sync" for every change? Or does it sync on changes automatically? I'm asking because I used it in the past and the sync limitation often caused conflicts for my mobile and desktop clients
I use Joplin extensively on multiple devices and I find that the only way to completely avoid sync conflicts is to make sure you hit sync after entering data on one device, and then hit sync on the other device before using it.
Interesting, thanks for confirming.. not sure yet if I want to jump back to Joplin yet.

#160For those that want to crosslink anything and everything I suggest Logseq[1]. Its journal and graph view are fantastic. And it has many useful plugins. I use it along with git-sync [2] and syncthing [3] now I can sync the notes across my work, personal desktops and my mobile.

I looked at logseq as an alternative to joplin but there were too many little flags that suggested to me that privacy and being free might not be forever. I don't have a problem with paying for software, but I don't like getting embedded in it when I don't know what the cost will be. Privacy wise, statements like "The aim of Logseq is to establish a better environment for both learning and collaboration, enabling us…
Just don't sync to the cloud. Use syncthing and any privacy concerns are solved. That's what I do. Works great syncing between my 3 devices
