I recently setup Obsidian thinking of it as an easy note taking system with self-hosted sync that Claude can read from.

I'm still building the habit for using it instead of scattering notes in text documents or self-DMs on various platforms, but during setup, the complexity was concerning, since I associate complexity in this kind of system with fragility. For now I am still in the exploring phase, so not ruling it out yet.

What self-hosted sync approach are you using?

I’m thinking of doing the same thing, as I want everything on my home NAS and not iCloud/Google Drive

		I setup the LiveSync plugin in an LXC on one of my proxmox servers, since I was going to have to host the MCP server too (so Claude could read from it). It doesn't require iCloud/GDrive, I just exposed the corresponding port through a cloudflare tunnel and set up the apps to connect through it.
