Not necessarily self-host, but I actually have an Obsidian vault that's local-only. That is a vault where I can do my content creation brainstorming, especially script writing for Cocules Reddit Readings, of which I happened to be the new narrator for.
Otherwise, I try to do everything local without having to use something like Syncthing or NextCloud.
Well, not bad; obsidian offers google-drive Alternative(through a 3rd party plugin), which to me sounds "local enough" with zero hustle, completely syncd with both my phone and laptop.
I will say this, it is good to get your hands dirty.
I'd rather self-host with rclone and NextCloud if necessary, as Google Drive is not for me. I won't even be getting a Google account (though my producer does).
