Sync Obsidian with Nextcloud

In order to simply sync an Obsidian vault to every device I have (linux machines and android device) I will use Nextcloud.

I'll do it through Nextcloud desktop client for linux laptops and Nextcloud Notes app for android devices.

Basically install Nextcloud desktop client on your linux laptop and install the Nextcloud Notes android app on your android devices.

  1. Configure your Nextcloud Notes android app to use a specific folder for notes, the Notes folder for instance.
  2. For a light use configure your Nextcloud desktop client to only synchronise the Notes folder.
  3. Download the Obsidian AppImage on your linux laptop and at first start select Open folder as a vault and use the Notes folder.

Now your Obsidian vault on your linux laptops is in sync with your android device through Nextcloud Notes app.

Edit your Obsidian vault on your linux laptops the way you like (via Obsidian editor, or another one) and via Nextcloud Notes app on your android devices, changes will be synced.
