Is anyone using the Obsidian Git plugin or another git solution to sync with Android? If so, How did you get it to work? (kbin.social)

Syncthing is fine but battery drain

I used to use it, but my phone model isn't famous because of it battery, sadly.

Remotely-save with S3 (minio or the like) seems pretty good so far.

LiveSyn can use S3 too insead of Couchdb but I will give a look to remotely-save.

Oh yeah- I meant to add that I tried Livesync and two things I didn't like about it- it didn't seem to work nearly as well with S3. I assume it can use couchDB well but I don't have one stood up and no real interest in standing one up for just that.

The other thing was (at least from what I could see) is that it saves your files in some kind of weird way (maybe encrypted, or packed/zipped, unsure.) So basically it should work well to maybe purely sync (and it didn't even do that for me on S3- it just never seemed to pick up changes for some reason) but if you deleted something and wanted to restore it or view it, you couldn't really do that via the minio UI (or at all.)

Remotely-save just saves the vault as it looks to the human eye- ie. just all the markdown files in plain text, etc. etc. I preferred that to the opaque way of livesync but that is pure user preference.
