Self-Hosting

Self-Hosting Is My New Hobby. First Up: Obsidian Sync on My Own Server.

Git sync for Obsidian worked but it was clunky. CouchDB LiveSync on my own Hetzner VPS gives me real-time sync across all devices. No GitHub, no subscriptions, just my server.

Over a thousand bookmarks. Folders called Temp and Temp 2. Claude Code reorganized the JSON in 30 minutes. Vimium made the browser actually usable.

Ten years of app-hopping. Apple Notes, Evernote, Notion, all of them. Obsidian with Git sync and Claude Code for organization is the first setup that lasted.
