      HI,
      I actually have this installed. I also installed the Desktop version on my Windows machine. I thought by entering the web url of the Cloudron Trilium that it would sync. It hasn't. The wording of the app on its github page and docs indicate there IS a sync server, but it doesn't clearly say that any web-installed instance IS also the sync server.

      So, is this the sync server, or just a web installed app?

      If it isn't, where is the sync server? Are we supposed to use something like Nextcloud?

      Thanks!

        @scooke The app is both a web based app and sync server.

        The online version looks like this (same as the desktop app) :

        fd7b1c92-45da-4b79-845f-84278f3d90a4-image.png

        The syncing is practically instantaneous from Desktop. Can you maybe post some screenshots of what you tried?

          @girish I'm still working on it. The last version I had was 43, and the latest, 50, simply won't launch on my machine. The Cloudron Trilium is fine.

            I'd been asking myself the same question about syncing service because when you read further the self-hosted version has smartphone and tablet frontend. So that means it should just work fine from a mobile or even a browser on desktop.

            I haven't tried it because I'm using Joplin which is much more powerful and real client server app.

              @micmc The main reason I use it, although not as much as Joplin, is that it allows colours easily. Joplin's mass of dark text isn't as easy to at-a-glance find some detail.

                @micmc I use it from the browser, and it works flawlessly. (In Ferdi)

                I may have installed the desktop app in the past, the issue, as I remember it, was that you'd have to keep both synced to a close enough version.
                And all the time, the cloudron one was more up to date.

                    There may be a plugin available for that, Joplin has an interesting array of plugins available for the desktop version if it's for colors addition. I admit that makes things more cool to use and look at.

                      @RoundHouse1924 Thanks for the warning, it does look insanely bad.

                      I am quite used to using Ferdi, so really sad to learn about its demise. 😕

                        @RoundHouse1924 Not sure I understand Ferdi but I use Webcatalog https://webcatalog.io which works brilliantly (better than things like Coherence). Worth checking out.

                          @timconsidine It's essentially the same thing, I'll try it. Thanks for suggestion.

                            @ruihildt the "Spaces" features of Webcatalog work really well for me.
                            I set up a "space" for a particular project or type of work, open multiple "Tabs" (they call accounts) for each SaaS type app or messenger.
                            Anyway works well for me, YMMV.
                            It is paid for anything over 2 accounts/apps but a reasonable price and then unlimited.

                              This is not related to Trilium, but the previous Ferdi maintainer (who was different from the owner), has restarted working in a fork, Ferdium.

                              There's no binary out, but I'm on the alpha and all is working as before for me, so I'm happy. 🐶
