Nextcloud + regular filesystem sync works great. I am just storing my vault in a synced folder.
But you would need to host it yourself if you cannot pay for a service like Hetzner Storage Share.
Tried doing this and albeit it works, I ended up going back to the NC Notes app, which granted, is not as good as Obsidian.
This is the way.
Why not use GitHub for notes storage? That's what I do
Not same as OP, but the reason why I do not use Github is because I do not want my data on what is essentially a Microsoft service. Especially, if I already self-host other services.
Although, I am aware not everyone can afford or wants to self-host, yet in my use case, it was just a matter of just installing NC on an already existing setup.
That's also an option of course. However, personally I wanted an option entirely outside of US big tech, so that ruled out GitHub.
Codeberg could be an option, but I didn't want to abuse their service for private, non-oss needs.
