Good luck!

I’ve got the same hw in mine. Although I did buy and install ram to max it out. It’s not the most powerful machine out there, but it’s plenty enough for us.

This of course presumes that you have a Synology disk station. They come in a variety of different models.

I’m surprised at how much I’m able to serve from my device. I use it for cloud storage, file thinking across devices, photo management and backup across devices, ebook management, running a game server for my family, running an evernote-like service, etc etc.

It’s been really good to have full control over all my information and not have to pay ever increasing fees to various companies for various services.

If you wish. You can set it up to only sync locally (intranet only) or you may expose it via DNS and port forwarding.

I’m using Synology photos. Auto backup for everyone’s phones. Shared common library we move things into for all our photos. I miss some of the ai search capability of Google, but never enough to do anything but self host.

if they can’t connect for a bit, that’s fine, they can work on the local files and sync up next time I’m back on the home network.

I suppose this is what I’m most concerned about. I currently use a similar situation for my password manager database. We have Windows and Android clients that connect to a shared database file and I feel like I’m constantly having to manually synchronize the file because it remains open so long on each client. I’d like to avoid this situation.

Joplin can sync using files on the device filesystem

This weekend, I’m going to attempt to get it running on my NAS and do this.

I may also try the other syncing via cloud at the same time just to test.

Your experience is what i am looking to accomplish. I’d like to transfer everything Evernote to a self-hosted FOSS application I can serve on my Synology NAS. I would access my notes primarily on my phone (Android) and sometimes Windows. AFIAK, Joplin would sync to my Synology NAS where it’s hosted… so I’m a little perturbed by the additional used of Syncthing.

Would someone explain the need/desire for Joplin+Syncthing?

A progressive web app (pwa) is installed as an app on your phone. Developers can publish these web application online without users requiring an app store. They run on multiple platforms and devices from a single codebase, giving a platform-specific like experience. They are very light weight and even offer offline capabilities.

Did any of you guys try it as well? What’s your opinion?

In respect to Lemmy as a whole, I’m trying to exercise a lot patience.

One of the first things I did was install it as a PWA. It has a sleek UI, but some bugs makes it incredibly hard for me to use. One of the worst is an issue with several of the combo boxes which repeatedly flashing on use. I have to try hitting the appropriate selection multiple times in hopes of it eventually taking.

I use Jerboa most of the time inspite of the many bugs, but I usually end up having to open the PWA for missing functionality.

Like I said…

Lots… And lots…

And lots… of patience.
