May 27, 20251 yr I'm trying to set up a local Obsidian Sync for my OAP father, who's got his own UNRAID (as do I but separate servers). He only needs LAN access, no WANWe've come across Obsidian which on first glance appears to satisfy needs. However, the more i try to look at it the deeper the rabbithole appears to get.I found what seems to be a precooked Docker for the CouchDB and plugin (https://github.com/oleduc/docker-obsidian-livesync-couchdb), However, whilst this does install and launch, as i start to do LiveSync i end up in a cesspool of "do this setup, play with this URI, have you configured such and such as a pre-req blah blah blah. Non of it makes any sense, the 'guides' for the docker and / or Obsidian appear to assume one is some kind of expert, whereas I am, and will remain to be a complete Obsidian ignoramus.Is anyone aware of a 'total idiots guide i.e. micro step by micro step guide that accepts you know nothing but would like to use it anyway? As far as i can tell, once it's working, it'll just self maintain.Any advice of any kind from anybody would be greatly appreciated, I'm utterly stuck and can't afford to spend the hours and hours of time educating myself on a platform I have zero interest in!Thanks to anyone!
May 27, 20251 yr A quick search led me to this. Maybe it'll work for you?https://www.reddit.com/r/selfhosted/comments/1eo7knj/guide_obsidian_with_free_selfhosted_instant_sync/
