Im trying to find an easy way to do this. All the things I’ve found make it out to be pretty complex.
I have a synology nas, im somewhat knowledgeable but a lot of terms go over my head.

Save notes? Joplin has a configurable backup plugin built in. From memory you need to go to Options >Plugins & enable it.
Edit: I just saw you meant sync. Several ways with Joplin. Been syncing through Nextcloud with WebDAV which has worked great syncing between several devices ever since I started using Joplin. On Android you need to keep the screen on during initial sync which can take a while but after that sync is a couple of seconds.
Use a Joplin client ?
Joplin sync server. It’s easy with Docker.
I have yet to mess with docker but see it talked about non stop. What is the benefit ? Is it like flatpak where it sandboxes everything?
Kinda. It’s kinda like a VM, but is more integrated with the host system so less overhead is required. A full VM, on the other hand, requires more overhead because it emulates everything, including the CPU, memory, storage controller, etc etc.
This should help explain it:
I like to run Docker stacks (via
docker compose- believe me, it’s absolutely worth the headache to learn YAML) within VMs that are dedicated specifically to Docker and nothing else. It’s much easier to handle Docker stacks this way, especially if you’re a tinkerer, that way when you inevitably fuck up your Docker co fig, you can just blow away the VM and start from scratch without having to rebuild your entire server 😅
Are you saying save when you mean sync?
For easiest, if your NAS supports WebDAV that would be it.
Second is likely syncthing, but with potential sync conflicts.
For self hosting, everything past that starts getting harder involving docker or other more complex services.
Yes sync, ok thanks!
I switched to obsidian because none of the options for Joplin sync nextcloud worked.
I have been using Joplin with Nextcloud for years without issue on both Linux and Windows, it’s odd you couldn’t get it to work. I use Obsidian as well.
not that odd, I’m kind of lazy
