#obsidianmd — Public Fediverse posts

I love #ObsidianMD. However, many enthusiasts in the space tend to create 20- to 30-minute tutorials. (Love you guys, but ain't got no time for that! ;P)

I'm a visual learner, so videos are immensely valuable to me. However, I am not convinced that text-based documentation will ever go away.

Here's the documentation I wrote for Notebook Navigator, a very popular Obsidian plug-in that I'm still using.

At first, I found the UI complex, but breaking it down in a document helped me learn-up the plug-in quickly. (The best way to learn is to teach someone else!)

If you use Obsidian, you may find my guide for Notebook Navigator useful: https://elizabethtai.com/2025/11/25/how-to-use-notebook-navigator-obsidian-community-plug-in/

PS: One of my dream pet projects is to create a documentation site from something like #Astro for the various community plug-ins out there. But I'm so busy I don't have time to even start. One day!

Related to my recent string of vinyl posts, I made an Obsidian plugin that makes it easy to generate detailed notes for a music release last week. It’s not available in the official registry yet (approval is backed up by months right now) but you can always unzip it into your vault manually. I’m using it along with Obsidian Bases to keep a nice catalog of records I own (including where/when I bought them) and which albums I’m currently looking for. I think it’s neat!

Built Markset: tiny native macOS app that renders Markdown with Finder's QuickLook (press Space). No app to open, no file associations to change. Free.

If you live in .md files: Obsidian, READMEs, notes, I'd love to know what breaks.

Information overload alert 😪

After 3 tears of using #obsidian #obsidianmd , I wanted to try something lighter and #opensource (important to me). I did some #joplin , some #logseq ...

I have too many notes where I didn't put a hashtag to categorise the information, didn't migrate everything from one to another... So my stuff is all over the place, not organised, and it drives me nuts 🙁

At the end of the day, I don't even know which one I'd use. Probably #logseq . maybe I could script something to dump useful content of other apps onto a big note in Logseq, so that a full text find works? #1bigtextfile @ellane ?

Or go to the shop and buy a notebook!

@passthejoe I think #obsidian can be as complicated (or as simple) as one wants it to be.

I have used it for years now and love it, both for my work - where it is my primary project management/support ticket tracker/CRM tool for my freelance business - and for organising my hobbies, especially the #DnD campaign I run.

In those years I have tweaked and customised my set up of it so much that an outsider looking at it might think it's super complicated but it works perfectly for me and my various needs.

However when I first started my set up was super simple and for a long time I was only using just the basic notes formatted with the inbuildt #markdown language, which took me about an hour to learn. It was literally just notes with links to other notes if needed. I didn't even have folders.

And that's the beauty of #obsidianmd you can customise it as much/as little as you want, and make it into whatever you need it to be.

Yes, I am an obsidian fangirl, and I make no apologies 😄🤣

I released a new version of my Bookshelf plugin for Obsidian yesterday.

If you're into reading, managing your books (or book notes), tracking your reading progress, and checking stats, why not give it a try?

Ziel wäre ein kleines Modell wie Llama 7b in Verbindung mit einem #obsidianmd vault zu nutzen. Sozusagen ein:e mini Archivar:in um den Vault sinnvoll zu vernetzen. Das Ganze mit so wenig overhead wie möglich und CPU-basiert🤔

The only other users are my kids, so whatever goes wrong is generally my own fault.

This is all particularly helpful as I often switch between a Mac and several Linux machines, so it's a consistent way to share things.

Install Syncthing 2.x for continuous file synchronisation on Debian or Ubuntu or Raspberry Pi OS

edafe.de/syncthing

Syncthing is an open source tool that synchronises files continuously across multiple devices. It transfers data between two or more of your computers, without uploading any information to the cloud.

Syncthing 2.0 has recently been described as ‘A Giant Leap Forward in Decentralized File Synchronization‘.

Synchronisation for every platform

Syncthing binary packages are available for Android, Windows, macOS and Linux (including Synology DSM).

In addition, Synctrain enables iOS devices to “securely synchronise files with other devices that have Syncthing installed”.

The usefulness of Syncthing cannot be overstated. The Syncthing Project is a beacon of the Open Source development model (ansibleloop).

Running the Syncthing stable-v2 channel

These instructions are targeting the latest release of the Syncthing stable channel.

Step 1

Add the necessary release key for validation of downloaded Syncthing packages.

$ sudo curl -L -o /etc/apt/keyrings/syncthing-archive-keyring.gpg https://syncthing.net/release-key.gpg

Step 2

Add the Syncthing repository as a new source.

$ echo "deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/syncthing-archive-keyring.gpg] https://apt.syncthing.net/ syncthing stable-v2" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/syncthing.list

Step 3

Install Syncthing on your local system.

$ sudo -- bash -c 'apt update && apt install --yes syncthing apt-transport-https'

Step 4

Enable Syncthing for the current user.

$ sudo -- bash -c 'systemctl enable syncthing@$USER.service && systemctl start syncthing@$USER.service && systemctl status syncthing@$USER.service'

Step 5

You may want to edit your firewall settings to open ports for incoming and outgoing traffic.

If you are using ufw as a host-based firewall

Configure ufw to allow connections to Syncthing.

$ sudo ufw limit syncthing

If you are using firewalld as a host-based firewall

Configure firewalld to allow connections to Syncthing.

$ sudo -- bash -c 'firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-service=syncthing --permanent && firewall-cmd --reload && firewall-cmd --info-zone=public'

Step 6

Use your browser to access the Syncthing configuration page by navigating to the following address:

http://localhost:8384

Step 7

Complete your setup by referring to the Syncthing documentation.

Upgrading from the v1 channel

If you have previously installed from apt.syncthing.net and are currently running Syncthing 1.x, upgrading to the stable-v2 channel is straightforward.

Remove the old APT sources configuration file.

$ sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/syncthing.list

Add the new repository for the stable-v2 channel together with its release key.

$ sudo curl -L -o /etc/apt/keyrings/syncthing-archive-keyring.gpg https://syncthing.net/release-key.gpg && echo "deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/syncthing-archive-keyring.gpg] https://apt.syncthing.net/ syncthing stable-v2" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/syncthing.list

Upgrade to the latest stable version of Syncthing.

$ sudo -- bash -c 'apt update && apt upgrade --yes'

Install Syncthing 2.x for continuous file synchronisation on Debian or Ubuntu

Syncthing is an open source tool that synchronises files continuously across multiple devices. It transfers data between two or more of your computers, without uploading any information to the cloud.

Syncthing packages are available for Android, Windows, macOS and Linux (including Synology DSM). In addition, Synctrain enables iOS devices to “securely synchronise files with other devices that have Syncthing installed”.

The usefulness of the Syncthing Project cannot be overstated.

Running the Syncthing stable-v2 channel

Syncthing is included in the Debian and Ubuntu repositories, respectively. If you would rather use the most up-to-date version, you need to add the Syncthing repository to your list of APT sources.

These instructions are targeting the latest release of the Syncthing stable channel. In the following example, syncthinguser is the local username.

Step 1

Add the Syncthing release key for validation of packages downloaded from the Syncthing repository.

$ sudo curl -L -o /etc/apt/keyrings/syncthing-archive-keyring.gpg https://syncthing.net/release-key.gpg

Step 2

Add the Syncthing repository.

$ echo "deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/syncthing-archive-keyring.gpg] https://apt.syncthing.net/ syncthing stable-v2" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/syncthing.list

Step 3

Install Syncthing on your system.

$ sudo -- bash -c 'apt update && apt install --yes syncthing apt-transport-https'

Step 4

Enable Syncthing for the local user syncthinguser. Don’t forget to replace syncthinguser with your username before running the command.

$ sudo -- bash -c 'systemctl enable [email protected] && systemctl start [email protected] && systemctl status [email protected]'

Step 5

You may need to edit your firewall settings to open ports for incoming and outgoing traffic.

If you are using ufw as a host-based firewall

Configure ufw to allow connections to Syncthing.

$ sudo ufw limit syncthing

If you are using firewalld as a host-based firewall

Configure firewalld to allow connections to Syncthing.

$ sudo -- bash -c 'firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-service=syncthing --permanent && firewall-cmd --reload && firewall-cmd --info-zone=public'

Step 6

Access the Syncthing configuration page by using your browser to navigate to the following address:

http://localhost:8384

Step 7

Syncthing is an open source tool that synchronises files continuously across multiple devices. It transfers data between two or more of your computers, without uploading any information to the cloud.

Syncthing 2.0 has recently been described as ‘A Giant Leap Forward in Decentralized File Synchronization‘.

Synchronisation for every platform

Syncthing binary packages are available for Android, Windows, macOS and Linux (including Synology DSM). In addition, Synctrain enables iOS devices to “securely synchronise files with other devices that have Syncthing installed”.

The usefulness of the Syncthing Project cannot be overstated.

Running the Syncthing stable-v2 channel

These instructions are targeting the latest release of the Syncthing stable channel.

Step 1

Add the necessary release key for validation of downloaded Syncthing packages.

$ sudo curl -L -o /etc/apt/keyrings/syncthing-archive-keyring.gpg https://syncthing.net/release-key.gpg

Step 2

Add the Syncthing repository as a new source.

$ echo "deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/syncthing-archive-keyring.gpg] https://apt.syncthing.net/ syncthing stable-v2" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/syncthing.list

Step 3

Install Syncthing on your local system.

$ sudo -- bash -c 'apt update && apt install --yes syncthing apt-transport-https'

Step 4

Enable Syncthing for the current user.

$ sudo -- bash -c 'systemctl enable syncthing@$USER.service && systemctl start syncthing@$USER.service && systemctl status syncthing@$USER.service'

Step 5

You may want to edit your firewall settings to open ports for incoming and outgoing traffic.

If you are using ufw as a host-based firewall

Configure ufw to allow connections to Syncthing.

$ sudo ufw limit syncthing

If you are using firewalld as a host-based firewall

Configure firewalld to allow connections to Syncthing.

$ sudo -- bash -c 'firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-service=syncthing --permanent && firewall-cmd --reload && firewall-cmd --info-zone=public'

Step 6

Use your browser to access the Syncthing configuration page by navigating to the following address:

http://localhost:8384

Step 7

Complete your setup by referring to the Syncthing documentation.

Upgrading from the v1 channel

If you have previously installed from apt.syncthing.net and are currently running Syncthing 1.x, upgrading to the stable-v2 channel is straightforward.

Remove the old APT sources configuration file.

$ sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/syncthing.list

Add the new repository for the stable-v2 channel together with its release key.

$ sudo curl -L -o /etc/apt/keyrings/syncthing-archive-keyring.gpg https://syncthing.net/release-key.gpg && echo "deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/syncthing-archive-keyring.gpg] https://apt.syncthing.net/ syncthing stable-v2" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/syncthing.list

Upgrade to the latest stable version of Syncthing.

$ sudo -- bash -c 'apt update && apt upgrade --yes'

The usefulness of the Syncthing Project cannot be overstated.

Running the Syncthing stable-v2 channel

Syncthing is included in the Debian and Ubuntu repositories, respectively. If you would rather use the most up-to-date version, you need to add the Syncthing repository to your list of APT sources.

These instructions are targeting the latest release of the Syncthing stable channel. In the following example, syncthinguser is the local username.

Step 1

Add the Syncthing release key for validation of packages downloaded from the Syncthing repository.

$ sudo curl -L -o /etc/apt/keyrings/syncthing-archive-keyring.gpg https://syncthing.net/release-key.gpg

Step 2

Add the Syncthing repository.

$ echo "deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/syncthing-archive-keyring.gpg] https://apt.syncthing.net/ syncthing stable-v2" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/syncthing.list

Step 3

Install Syncthing on your system.

$ sudo -- bash -c 'apt update && apt install --yes syncthing apt-transport-https'

Step 4

Enable Syncthing for the local user syncthinguser. Don’t forget to replace syncthinguser with your username before running the command.

$ sudo -- bash -c 'systemctl enable [email protected] && systemctl start [email protected] && systemctl status [email protected]'

Step 5

You may need to edit your firewall settings to open ports for incoming and outgoing traffic.

If you are using ufw as a host-based firewall

Configure ufw to allow connections to Syncthing.

$ sudo ufw limit syncthing

If you are using firewalld as a host-based firewall

Configure firewalld to allow connections to Syncthing.

$ sudo -- bash -c 'firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-service=syncthing --permanent && firewall-cmd --reload && firewall-cmd --info-zone=public'

Step 6

Access the Syncthing configuration page by using your browser to navigate to the following address:
