On an iPhone the ability to access data of an app from another app is not necessarily given and one thing that’s quite important to me is <em>note taking</em>. I’m not a person who takes tons of notes (yet), but note taking becomes more and more important to me. Of course there are tons of different ways and apps for this task. Obsidian is one of those apps and it is very popular. To be honest I started with <a href="https://anytype.io" target="_blank">anytype</a>
|
||||
which I like a lot in many ways, but for multiple reasons I decided to try out obsidian instead and it turned out it fits much better.</p>
|
||||
<p>Obsidian stores its data in so called <em>vaults</em> wich can be understood as containers or namespaces. They’re represented as a folder in the file system and the data itself is stored in markdown files. The configuration is stored in .json files inside a hidden folder in the root of each vault, which is <em>.obsidian</em> by default. I mention this because this will be relevant a little bit later.</p>
|
||||
<p>I work a lot on desktop computers and laptops and I would like to keep my obsidian clients synchronized over multiple devices. But for me note taking is also important to have on mobile devices, because I may need my notes when my phone is the only computer I have access to. There are quite a few ways to synchronize obisidian’s data. The sync with iCloud is not really an option for me. Obsidian sync is another option, but I prefer to store my data on my servers if possible. Somebody in my fedivers bubble mentioned <em>obsidian-livesync</em> a few days ago, which is based on a coucheDB server. Great, but just another DB-server for synchronizing markdown files? There are many tutorials out there about synchronization with git and I like git a lot. I tried out a few ways with several apps, but I won’t go into detail about those ways that didn’t work, but rather describe what works for me.</p>

After you created your new vault enter it, open the sidebar on the left and tap the gear symbol right next to its name on top to open the settings menu. Tap “<em>About</em>” scroll down until you find the entry “<em>Advanced</em>” and below that you should find “<em>Override config folder</em>” with an input field. Here you can enter a name that you like and that’s different from <em>.obsidian</em>. I for example used <em>.obsidian.mobile</em>. You have to relaunch obsidian afterwards.</p>

<p>If you have not already done so create a fresh git repo now on a git server of your choice. Also if you haven’t done already configure you <em>Working Copy</em> app so that you can access the repository and clone the fresh repo onto your device.</p>

After you created your new vault enter it, open the sidebar on the left and tap the gear symbol right next to its name on top to open the settings menu. Tap “<em>About</em>” scroll down until you find the entry “<em>Advanced</em>” and below that you should find “<em>Override config folder</em>” with an input field. Here you can enter a name that you like and that’s different from <em>.obsidian</em>. I for example used <em>.obsidian.mobile</em>. You have to relaunch obsidian afterwards.</p>

<p>If you have not already done so create a fresh git repo now on a git server of your choice. Also if you haven’t done already configure you <em>Working Copy</em> app so that you can access the repository and clone the fresh repo onto your device.</p>

On an iPhone the ability to access data of an app from another app is not necessarily given and one thing that’s quite important to me is <em>note taking</em>. I’m not a person who takes tons of notes (yet), but note taking becomes more and more important to me. Of course there are tons of different ways and apps for this task. Obsidian is one of those apps and it is very popular. To be honest I started with <a href="https://anytype.io" target="_blank">anytype</a>
|
||||
which I like a lot in many ways, but for multiple reasons I decided to try out obsidian instead and it turned out it fits much better.</p>
|
||||
<p>Obsidian stores its data in so called <em>vaults</em> wich can be understood as containers or namespaces. They’re represented as a folder in the file system and the data itself is stored in markdown files. The configuration is stored in .json files inside a hidden folder in the root of each vault, which is <em>.obsidian</em> by default. I mention this because this will be relevant a little bit later.</p>
|
||||
<p>I work a lot on desktop computers and laptops and I would like to keep my obsidian clients synchronized over multiple devices. But for me note taking is also important to have on mobile devices, because I may need my notes when my phone is the only computer I have access to. There are quite a few ways to synchronize obisidian’s data. The sync with iCloud is not really an option for me. Obsidian sync is another option, but I prefer to store my data on my servers if possible. Somebody in my fedivers bubble mentioned <em>obsidian-livesync</em> a few days ago, which is based on a coucheDB server. Great, but just another DB-server for synchronizing markdown files? There are many tutorials out there about synchronization with git and I like git a lot. I tried out a few ways with several apps, but I won’t go into detail about those ways that didn’t work, but rather describe what works for me.</p>

After you created your new vault enter it, open the sidebar on the left and tap the gear symbol right next to its name on top to open the settings menu. Tap “<em>About</em>” scroll down until you find the entry “<em>Advanced</em>” and below that you should find “<em>Override config folder</em>” with an input field. Here you can enter a name that you like and that’s different from <em>.obsidian</em>. I for example used <em>.obsidian.mobile</em>. You have to relaunch obsidian afterwards.</p>

<p>If you have not already done so create a fresh git repo now on a git server of your choice. Also if you haven’t done already configure you <em>Working Copy</em> app so that you can access the repository and clone the fresh repo onto your device.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have got an iPhone a while ago and (of course) things are a little bit different compared to android devices. On an iPhone the ability to access data of an app from another app is not necessarily given and one thing that’s quite important to me is <em>note taking</em>. I’m not a person who takes tons of notes (yet), but note taking becomes more and more important to me. Of course there are tons of different ways and apps for this task. Obsidian is one of those apps and it is very popular. To be honest I started with <a href="https://anytype.io" target="_blank">anytype</a>
|
||||
which I like a lot in many ways, but for multiple reasons I decided to try out obsidian instead and it turned out it fits much better.</p>
|
||||
<p>Obsidian stores its data in so called <em>vaults</em> wich can be understood as containers or namespaces. They’re represented as a folder in the file system and the data itself is stored in markdown files. The configuration is stored in .json files inside a hidden folder in the root of each vault, which is <em>.obsidian</em> by default. I mention this because this will be relevant a little bit later.</p>
|
||||
<p>I work a lot on desktop computers and laptops and I would like to keep my obsidian clients synchronized over multiple devices. But for me note taking is also important to have on mobile devices, because I may need my notes when my phone is the only computer I have access to. There are quite a few ways to synchronize obisidian’s data. The sync with iCloud is not really an option for me. Obsidian sync is another option, but I prefer to store my data on my servers if possible. Somebody in my fedivers bubble mentioned <em>obsidian-livesync</em> a few days ago, which is based on a coucheDB server. Great, but just another DB-server for synchronizing markdown files? There are many tutorials out there about synchronization with git and I like git a lot. I tried out a few ways with several apps, but I won’t go into detail about those ways that didn’t work, but rather describe what works for me.</p>
