After weeks of incremental improvements, CloudSync has evolved into a robust and reliable sync solution for Obsidian vaults that writes directly to Azure, AWS and GCP cloud storage. The plugin is now thoroughly documented, tested with various static code analysis tools and in use by several Obsidian users.

Recent Improvements:

• Supports Azure blobs, AWS S3 and GCP Cloud storage

• Tested across different platforms - Windows, MacOS, Ubuntu, iPhone and Android

• Polished and optimized with ample help of GitHub Copilot Workspace

• Developer documentation

While CloudSync is now stable for daily use, I am always looking to improve. If you enjoy finding edge cases, hidden bugs, and helping make software better, I'd love your feedback! Plugin will be submitted to Obsidian marketplace after the last push to bash bugs out from CloudSync.

Quick Start:

• Install BRAT plugin
• Add CloudSync repository to BRAT: mihakralj/obsidian-cloudsync
• Configure your cloud provider (follow the instructions)
• Start syncing!

Edit: Thank you all for the amazing feedback and support so far!

there's a really robust and feature-rich #plugin for @obsidianmd for people playing and running a campaign for a #TTRPG like #DND (#dungeonsAndDragons not do not disturb)

#obsidianMD

obsidian has callouts, and collapsible headings/codeblocks. So that's the native way.

There are a couple plugins for other styles of spoilers. but lemmy's spoilers are weird.

I want to work with lemmy-style markdown in obsidian.

Is there some plugin or other method that would facilitate it?

Looking for beta testers

I've developed an Obsidian plugin that enables vault synchronization directly with cloud object storage of major cloud providers. I'm looking for beta testers to find hidden bugs before publishing the plugin to the Obsidian Community directory.

Current Features

• Not published yet: You'll need to use BRAT to install Cloud Sync (or copy plugin files over to .obsidian directory manually)
• Multi-Cloud Support: Azure Blob Storage, AWS S3, Google Cloud Storage
• Multi-Vault: Synchronizes multiple vaults to a single storage account/bucket with isolated containers/folders/prefixes per vault
• Web access: Synchronized files can be accessed through Cloud Console of Azure/AWS/GCP
• Direct Cloud Connection: No intermediary servers - data flows directly between Obsidian client and cloud storage
• Security: TLS encryption in transit, cloud provider encryption at rest
• Smart Sync: Intelligent conflict resolution with diff-merge capabilities when content changes in the same file both locally and in the cloud
• Minimal Permissions: Least-privilege access model to cloud storage for enhanced security
• Extremely low cost: Depending on the vault size and usage, but typically the transfer and storage costs are less than $1/month for either Azure, AWS or GCP

Caution: Setting up cloud storage account, service account and CORS permissions is a bit complex process - check the setup instructions in README.

Do open a new issue on GitHub if you find a bug, have a feature request or want to vent frustration about how much this plugin sucks.

I want to share notes / vaults with someone else. I currently use iOS but I'm soon switching to Android and I have a PC with Linux/Windows dual boot and I'm interested in hearing what are your approaches for syncing vaults. I have an ultimate Proton account, any advice for sharing notes with more people and having them synced in multiple platforms?

i am regularly frustrated with the larger @obsidianmd community being so hot for Medium. is it that lucrative to write there??

i don't even bother following a link there anymore.

people in #pkm and @obsidianmd will be interested in this software too. https://soc.kvet.ch/@emory/113444406599332781

sometimes i am annoyed when i find a repository on github that is a better version of something i've been working on. but this time i found an @obsidianmd vault that is entirely to have a vault of #MITRE's #ATT7CK (that's how i hashtag things using symbols in filenames sometimes too; normalize to alpha-numeric) which i was already doing a different way but this one is done and done is great.

Is there any plugins which is used to render markdowns in search results and backlink results

Long back I've seen this feature by one plugins which adds a check box in default search setting

But I forgotten the name of the plugin

i am learning a lot of cool things today, like #Pintora is a diagrams-as-code markup language that is parsed similar to markdown? i use mermaid and excalidraw and draw-io/diagrams-net diagrams in @obsidianmd already but Pintora is really interesting to me!

i don't know if i can get my AI assistant to understand it as well as editable svg/xml drawio diagrams, but i can't wait to find out.

Hello folks! Due to some of the serious AI pushes Notion has been doing recently, I have been trying to seriously migrate my video game tracker database over to work on Obsidian. I have most of the features from my Notion one ported over, but I can't for the life of my figure out how to use the Meta Binds plugin to replicate this particular button from my Notion database entries.

I know Meta Bind can be pretty technical, but I'm curious if anyone has any idea how I can replicate this functionality within Obsidian. My goal is essentially to:

1. Be able to press the button, adding the current date to a property of the document I have labeled "last".
2. Add a bullet point with today's date below the button, creating a list of dates that I pressed the button as I press it.

Thanks for reading my post! Any help is appreciated! I've been pouring over the Meta Bind docs to try and figure this out but so far I've had no luck.

i cleared cache and now it won't regenerate it

it only generate cached entry for new files

The Client appears to experience a timeout when connecting to sync. I am on the European Server, is anyone having the same issues on the NA Server?

I am really not the plugin type, but I might actually try to use this one!

I have been using Obsidian for a few months now and I love it! Recently, I started blogging again and I wanted to share how I've integrated Obsidian with Hugo to make the process as smooth as possible.

My setup includes the following:

• Using a single Obsidian vault for everything.
• A blog post template that automatically includes all the necessary Hugo frontmatter.
• Keeping my personal vault folders private.
• Auto-publishing articles directly from Obsidian with a single hotkey.
• Hosting all my markdown files in a public GitHub repository, allowing others to propose changes.

This is the link to the article: https://4rkal.com/posts/obsidianhugo/

I hope this helps some fellow obsidian users!

If you have any feedback please feel free to comment it bellow.

I have been meaning to check out Mastodon and never actually fire, not knowing what instance to sign up for…

A pretty tutorial in article format. Uses plugins.

Author talks about switching from Goodreads. I also switched from Goodreads, but while we're on the Fediverse I might bring this up: I switched to https://joinbookwyrm.com/, another Fediverse thing.

I made a BASH script to convert your ODT and RTF files in place for easy use with Obsidian because I couldn't find a plugin like DOCXer and don't have the node skills to create one. Worked for me, YMMV, backup, backup, backup.

I may be preaching to the converted on this but I was looking to solve two problems:

• Being able to chuck down a quick note in Obsidian on mobile which can take far too long to open. I'd tried suggested solutions like Loqseq but it still felt a bit clunky.
• Import a webpage as markdown on mobile

The latter requirement took me to Zettel Notes and then I discovered that you can just add your Obsidian archive to it and so you also have Mobile Quick Capture too, as the post link says:

Zettel Notes checks a lot of boxes. If you need a more flexible solution for Quick Capture, and an open-source one at that, check out Zettel Notes.

Zettel Notes is impressively flexible and versatile. It supports Markdown, synchronization through many different platforms, all forms of media including audio and video, keyboard shortcuts, properties, templates, and much more.

If you want an app that rivals even Obsidian in features, then Zettel Notes may be for you.

With a little bit of setup, it also makes a great quick capture app. All you have to do is install it, configure it to your Obsidian folder, and you’re off to the races!

I did notice a few oddities in setting it up: it’s not set up perfectly for Obsidian, so you may have to fine tune it a bit to get it working like you want. See the documentation for details.

Zettel Notes is not as easy to set up as Fleeting Notes, but it is the swiss army knife of note taking on Android. If you’re serious about Quick Capture, I recommend giving it a try.

Pros:

Quick startup

• Highly configurable
• Can do almost anything you could want
• Good privacy policy

Cons:

• Harder to setup initially
• More of a learning curve

I haven't noticed too many downsides and while I wasn't previously prepared to fully commit to Obsidian in my note-taking app journey (having started with Evernote many years ago), Zettel Notes has helped seal the deal. It's already speeding up my note-taking on the go and just become my go-to app for markdown files. I can then switch to Obsidian when I need all the bells and whistles.

Whether you just refer to them, or you continuously edit them. Asking because it's always fun to hear about other peoples' use cases and experiences with Obsidian. And because I was thinking about some reference notes I made that I do not actually use for one reason or another, but it boils down to something like this: https://xkcd.com/1205/. I miscalculated how much pain or time making the reference resource would save me. That note gets 0 visits. Meanwhile, other notes I made get near-daily references, and I feel so glad that I made that note because it makes my life a little easier or better.

I've tried both, Obsidian Git and Termux (I need to try the last one without the git plugin in my mobile vault) but no matter what I always got merging problems (That I don't know how to fix). Does anyone know how to fix this? Does Termux support merging?

Hey, I'm currently trying to get away from Notion to either Obsidian or Logseq. Currently it feels like I'm drifting towards Obsidian.

I only have one topic left on my list of "I would like to have that": an alternative to Notion AI.

With Notion AI it's possible to ask a question like "which books that I've read are talking about the history of mankind and how are these related to each other?" and it'll search your documents and give you an answer. This works really good. Downside of Notion is that you don't earn your files and that of course the AI model is scanning all your stuff for this when you use it.

I've seen that there are some add-ons for Obsidian that support AI but I haven't really achieved anything good yet. My try was to set up Ollama on my Linux computer and connect it to some Obsidian plugin (not sure about the name right now unfortunately). As a model I was using Llama3 (the small one since the big one is too heavy for my laptop with NVIDIA GPU).

That in fact works but the results are...meh. It kinda leaves out 80% of what would be relevant and thus isn't really helpful.

Is it somehow possible to achieve something like an alternative to Notion AI in Obsidian, that can do more than "complete this text for me"?

On the "conversion complete" bit: if you migrated your stuff from, say, Notion, did you move all of it to Obsidian or do you still use Notion for some things?

I moved from Notion after I made a database of about 40 items and Notion became super slow for me. I manually moved my information over and didn't finish doing that. I don't use Notion anymore, except to transfer things that are still hanging out there. (They are not things I expect to need to reference frequently, hence being able to not use Notion and leave them untransferred. However, I still want to transfer them because I might need to at some point, and want it in one place instead of having to run back to Notion.)

I used to use Google Docs for my academic notes and have been writing new ones in Obsidian. I transferred a few docs manually, but the rest are, like with Notion, untransferred and still in Google Docs. Since I still do use Docs for anything collaborative, since the workspace is still something I use, it is still convenient for me to just search for my old academic notes in Docs. Would like to eventually transfer to Obsidian. I originally wanted Notion to be my place for everything, and to move all my Docs information to Notion. Now that I've abandoned Notion for Obsidian, my goal to move my Docs information has changed to moving it to Obsidian.

There are probably plugins to transfer from these places to Obsidian, or at least some script to make .md files out of Notion and Docs things. Part of why I don't do this is because when I transfer, I also like to clean up the information. Investigate things that were written down hastily that I no longer understand, make that stream-of-consciousness more comprehensible, remove information or to-do-later things that are no longer relevant…
