Is there a self hosted web based note app similar to Obsidian or Joplin? I've tried Trilium and its ether above my pay grade in terms of knowledge, or I've set it up wrong. I'm mostly looking for something that has support for folders or a tree structure, markdown or simple text based and all accessible buy web browser.

I've gone from using Joplin, to Obsidian, I love both but am tired of waiting for sync before accessing my notes on different devices.

I use code-server as well. For the mobile part i use syncthing to sync all the files to my mobile, then edit locally with Markor markdown android app.

What do you mean by version control, is this something you manage with code-server, or do you have a git repo running?

For the mobile part ...

I do something similar with FolderSync and SftpGo and have Drafting (vague name) to create and edit notes.

As for version control I just have all of the documents in a git repository on my Code-Server instance which I regularly commit and sync with a local Gitea deployment; nothing special. Though it could be possible to use something like Mgit with a Tasker automation in lieu of a data sync with foldersync/syncthing, I just haven't looked into it in earnest.
