Syncopation: A lightweight sync server for Joplin
Hi everyone,
First off, huge thanks to all of the contributors for making Joplin such an awesome productivity application. It’s been my daily driver for notes and project organisation for years now.
I’ve been running the official Joplin server on my server at home for a long time. Honestly, it works great and I haven't had any issues at all. I just wanted to build something in my spare time, make it lightweight, ultra portable and easy to back up. It's 100% compatible with the Joplin desktop, mobile and CLI clients.
I saw that Joplin itself was named after Scott Joplin, so I named this project Syncopation as a bit of a play on words. It syncs your notes but syncopation is also a musical concept that aligns closely with ragtime.
There is documentation on GitHub on how to set it up, but it's pretty straightforward. If you're already self hosting anything with Docker, it's just a single container for the entire stack. There is no external database, it just uses SQLite and local storage.
Let me know if you try it out, I'd love your feedback.
