Manuals are outdated on the day of printing, there are none in any computer business as far as I know. Do you have redundant disks? how do you plan to do the backups? You did not yet tell us your hardware configuration. The way virtually every business runs, as centralised storage is easy to backup and control: setup the public and home folders on the nas in a way that nicely covers the privacy/separation and shared folders as you wish. No way to use that, but many other cloud systems are available.ġ) you are going to keep working "the old fashioned way" (having documents and photo's mainly hosted on the PC):Ģ) you Move ALL data to the nas, and remove it from the PC (centralised storage). Icloud is an apple proprietary system which cannot be handled by any outside company. On my Iphone, there is autosync to the NAS, while using the app called synology photo.All backups are background processes, so not sure who wrote the review. There is a tendency to complain nowadays, the reviews are not that bad, compared to the competion, and as always, it takes some time and effort to make the best of any system. No spam ever (we hate it as much as you do).Good to look for advice before starting. Enjoying the post? Subscribe to our free Monthly Newsletter, featuring our latest posts. So I need to work out some way to sync these with my standard notes. I own an Apple Watch and I tend to use Siri on it quite often. I'd also like to hook up iOS reminders to a reminders section in Standard Notes. This means I can set up my did.txt command to edit my Did note. On jonhadfield's Github, there was also a link for standardnotes-fs which allows you to mount your Standard Notes as files using fuse. I have a did.txt file which I log to every day with what I did that day, it helps with our daily standups so that I can remember what I did the previous day. I finally had an end-to-end solution for storing my notes and syncthing between all of my devices. So after a very long journey of pulling my hair out and re-evaluating how much these notes meant to me. I set up Extensions Repository Builder on my internal host and bingo, it just worked, amazing. This would allow me to self-host my extensions rather than paying the monthly fee! Browsing his README.md I spotted the repository Extensions Repository Builder. I did a global search on Github for "Standard Notes" and I bumped into a repository by Github User jonhadfield who has collected some awesome Standard Notes extensions. Standard Notes being open-source meant that I could have a poke around in its git repository. But can I justify £10 a month? Standard Notes Extensions Loved it, I heavily use Markdown Basic, Simple Task Editor and Secure Spreadsheets extensions. So I bit the bullet and settled for one month at £9.99, I thought I'd give it a try. I went without notes for a week, it nearly killed me. I had to think to myself, how badly do I want notes on my iPhone? So if I wanted to write in Markdown, which I do, I had to pay for the extensions. I loved the UI, the syncing was pretty good, it has an iOS app! and it can be self-hosted, amazing.īut a lot of the features are paid. I had a love-hate relationship with Standard Notes. Not ideal, I just want to view and edit notes, how hard can it be! Bingo!īut wait, what happens when I try and edit a note? It opens a copy of the note in a markdown app. Cool, I managed to get my notes syncing to a Resilio folder on my iPhone. Something that could easily be done with Android.īumped into Resilio, not self-hosted, but achieves the whole decentralized syncing that I loved about Syncthing. but all of them locked down where the files were saved on the iPhone, I couldn't access them from a file explorer on the iPhone. So what now? I started looking at other app alternatives, Bear, Markdown Notes, etc. There's currently no iOS client for Syncthing. Part of this meant getting rid of my Android.Įverything started great with the iPhone, the interface is great, everything just works. I have recently boycotted all my Google services and switched over to a self-hosted solution. I made the switch to the iPhone due to privacy concerns with Android. It just worked, I wasn't tied into a service as the nodes are written in Markdown.Įverything just worked. I could keep my extensive markdown nodes on every device and sync them without even thinking about it. I had a central sync server and then a node on each of my devices, including my Huawei P20 Pro. I had recently discovered Syncthing and got it set up on my self hosted solution in my loft. My existing solution with Syncthing and VS Code Recently moving to the iPhone meant that I had to re-think and re-design my existing note-taking solution, this is a quick writeup of my journey.
