Obsidian self-hosted livesync

obsidian_livesync.md

Typical Step for a new device

1. Install the plugin
2. Set up the URI and enter the passphrase
3. Sync and manually turn on hidden file sync

• There are two types of things to sync:
  • Database:
  • Storage: for files

Generall Settings

• Turn on Show status inside the editor and
• Turn on Show status as icons only: to avoid too much distraction.

Sync Settings

• Sync Mode: LiveSync
• Hidden Files:
  • Fetch: For mobile devices
  • Merge: For desktop devices.

Hiden File Sync

• Ignore unnecessary hidden files for sync: in Selector -> Hidden Files -> Ignore Patterns, Add Default and Cross-platform pattern.

Customization Sync

Do not use Customizaiton Sync!

• Why?
  • The developer has decided to separate Customization Sync into a separate plugin to make the LiveSync plugin more lightweight.
  • Lack of documentation.
  • Confusing Interafce
  • Reliablity problems
  • Manual Process.
