Selfhosted

Vaultwarden is what you're looking for.

I'm syncing the files from Obsidian using Syncthing as well, works fine.

I often see LogSeq, and to a lesser extent Silver Bullet, mentioned as self-hostable alternatives to Obsidian that people actually appreciate using.

You can selfhist bitwarden. Or use vaultwarden.

Instead of Bitearden you can use Keepass and share db file with syncthing

Obsidian and Bitwarden self hosted alternative that can be run in docker container.

Well not 100% sure about Docker but Tiddlywiki is pretty easily hosted! It's got some quirks, but in the end it's just an HTML file (or slightly more complex if hosted as a website), so it should stay relevant for a long time. I enioy making notebooks with it for various things!

Nextcloud has a pretty decent passwords manager and I think firefox plugins for it. I personally use SyncThing to sync KeePass databases and use the nextcloud passwords app for low-risk things we share, like streaming service passwords. :)

Joplin is a good Obsidian alternative.

Trilium is nice as an obsidian alternative

Every video guide should be only suppliemtary to a complete text article

Persist with the video! The text-to-speech is only for a couple of quick screens - the rest is very personal, and they cover a bunch of use cases.

If you really don't want to, the server OS they recommend around two-thirds of the way through is YunoHost, a beginner-friendly way to run services as containers on any capable spare computer. The YunoHost website has a bunch of use cases that are also covered in the video.

The main difference is that having a home server means You are in complete control over Your data. You can run home server and isolate it from the internet, running only on local network. Great for privacy and You are not relying on some external provider being reliable and available.

It also has it's downsides. You have to maintain the server, keeping it up-to-date. Checking if some components need upgrading or replacing - which is mainly about having healthy drives so You do not loose all Your data.

Honestly I was in the same boat. I ended up just buying a raspberry pi and following the dead simple tutorials on this site and now I can stream my audiobooks or TV wherever the hell I want

Pretty understandable fear tbh I'm not quite sure I trust myself with mine yet

did you try clicking the link? titles aren't meant to convey all relevant info.

I would be interested to see a figure of people with home servers that have had that happen to them. DoS & pwned yes, especially 15+ years ago before there were good resources, TLS, reverse proxies, or authentication front ends.

I would be very interested to see any stat whatsoever of selfhosters that have gottened murdered specifically because of their server.

It is extremely important to note that in those days, people just opened their, often out-of-date, servers completely to the internet via a DMZ or port forwarding, let ssh be open to the internet, didn't harden ssh at all, and most people didn't use a VPN for downloading.

That is literally like saying that people who light wall torches in their wooden home burned their house down, so let's not use lightbulbs or electricity.
