I just use rsync over ssh via a cron job 🤷
It's been working fine for over 20 years on all my various PCs.
FWIW rsync also works on mobile phones and VR standalone HMDs, via e.g. termux or ish ... so it's really on working fine on... pretty much anything with a terminal and a connection really.
Warmly recommended.
Also if you need more than solely the last version, check rdiff-backup.
Yep! There's really only ONE operating system that doesn't do rsync over SSH. Can you guess which one? 😁
BTW: FolderSync does it on Android for free... https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=dk.tacit.android.foldersync.lite (only OK-ish GUI but it works).
Joplin has their own sync-server you can run as Docker container; free for personal use..
There's also a middle-ground between this solution and what OP's doing with Syncthing: Joplin has support for syncing with any generic WebDAV server.
And since we aren't in the self hosting community: You can also pay pikapods to host it for you: https://www.pikapods.com/apps#notes
(That being said, I personally prefer Obisidian with Git Sync)
@ZkhqrD5o Why would you do something as convoluted as that over the sync feature within Joplin? WebDAV would be the most suitable option, either the standalone app or as part of a full nextcloud install.
If you're hosting nextcloud anyway you might also want to check out the notes app. It creates a Notes folder in your account from which you can edit the markdown files, has a nice markdown editor in the nextcloud web UI, and comes with Android and iOS clients so you don't have to setup file access and find a separate markdown editor.
I use Zim Wiki + git. Or gollum wiki, which also uses git. Works both very well and can not only be synced but automatically merged.
What issues exactly? I found Syncthing to be 99% reliable. The rest is manually fixed with .stversion folder diffing.
What do you mean by 'desyncing' issues. I use Syncthing very heavily across my servers and workstations and I don't have any trouble. I run my own Syncthing relay server for NAT traversal.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
