Obsidian Git single handily changed my daily workflow.
To ensure privacy, I run my own Gitea server with a custom domain SSL’d & private repo I sync back and fourth. This allows me to control where my notes are stored behind two work computers who are stupidly behind two full tunnel VPNs so I can’t access my own servers on my LAN.
Main plugins for me are dataview and tasks. Add the mininal theme and style settings and that is it. Although I enjoy browsing Obsidian roundup to see what is new in the world of plugins.
It fits well for me. I set up multiple queries in my daily note template to catch tasks that are due today or I wanted to work on today, for long-term tasks and for overdue tasks. You can group tasks by adding tags which I use often. You can add a new task anywhere in your notes and it will show up in the query. So I put tasks in all notes that I am working on and will be reminded of them in my daily note.
It is often updated with new features, just try it out and see if it works for you. I can not complain and only recommend it.
I am also using it on mobile (syncing my vault from laptop->NAS<-cell phone). Works quite well, but I can not say mich about performance, as my cell phone is having problems in general at the moment.
However, it feels really smooth after initially loading the app and I have no problems to report.

I'm pretty basic and just run bare obsidian with vim and solarized themes, what are y'all running for plugins?

Are you using obsidian got as a backup or to sync across devices?
swnt@feddit.de · 4 pts · 3y
Both. But for mobile I'm using bash scripts with Termix (Android), because the Obsidian-Git mobile doesn't support git LFS

I’ve been using “Self-Hosted Livesync” with my own couchDB server. Maybe give it a look?

Makes sense. I use termux for a lot of things. Didn't know it supported git lfs though. I'll keep that in my back pocket for sure.

Well it only kind of supports git LFS. I have to manually invoke a few git hooks, but otherwise... 😅

How is it at organising your Tasks? I feel it would not be best at it, but also like the ideas of linking tasks in my notes

Thanks so much for the detailed response.
If you happen to use Tasks on mobile, did the plugin slow Obsidian down at all? I’ve been using Obsidian plugin-free
