###Update###

I tried a bit of Notesnook. While it wasnt bad it didnt quite fit the expectation that obsidian created for me for what I want. Maybe it was user error but I honestly can't say what specific aspect bothered me.
For now I decided to stay with what I have experience witg and bought a year of Obsidian-sync for 1 Remote-Vault

Thanks to everyone that suggested me solutions to my really specific problem. I appreciate that and I love(d) the discouse I seemingly sparked in this post.
Please continue commenting. Maybe someone else still hasnt found their solution yet :)

Original Post:

Hello fellow lemmy users, for the lack of a better fitting community I hope my request for help fits here the best.

I am a bit of a scatter-brain, have some notes in Google Keep, OneNote, Obsidian and in GitHub or other places. This is partially multiplied by splitting my work stuff with my home stuff.

What I like about every app I use so far

• OneNote: I like the way I can write on something like a canvas. Very useful if the note does fit the general theme of the page but not at the exact position. Also helps by utilizing the big space of a horizontal monitor. Also it now sports a very good mobile editor.
• Obsidian: So easy to backlink between notes and I love the graph view. I also like the extension "code styler" which lets me format inline code blocks with syntax highlighting (e.g.: `{powershell icon} Get-ChildItem -Path C:\Path\To\Folder -Filter XYZ*`).
  I like to learn scripting but I also use obsidian for RL-stuff and technical non-code like keeping track of configs, settings, wishlists etc.
• Google Keep: I bastardize the check-box feature to keep track of (online) shop orders. Mostly the only reason is that checked items get hidden in a collapsed section
  
  Any other program that let's me to that (even with plugin/extension) is a valid replacement candidate

What I dislike:

• OneNote:
  • Quite difficult to link between notes (unsupported on mobile)
  • Limited to 1 folder deep notes. Currently work around that by using the horizontal space or multi notes.
  • A bit clunky to edit bigger notes
  • By microsoft.
• Obsidian:
  • No native way to have everything on a server outside of using the obsidian-sync service for $4 or the community plugin which requires me to use some novel type of db called couch-db (ugh, another service to keep updated/troubleshoot). I can stomach the $4 but am limited to only one vault which I don't really like.
• Google Keep:
  • Google
  • No real way to have everything backed up. Only use it for quick notes or for my shipment list. Everything else is probably exported to Obsidian/OneNote if I feel like doing house-keeping.

How I currently manage/store my files:

• Right now I use
• OneNote which is stored on OneDrive (I like how Outlook (classic) works and I got 1TB of cloud storage),
• Obsidian which syncs with the plugin "remotely sync" to my OneDrive folder.
• Google Keep: Dunno. Probably some account storage on google

What I want:

• A primarily server-side setup or with a native sync feature that works like on OneNote: The true source is my server or the cloud, the client only streams/caches the data locally. I have no problem with individual markdown files.
  I just dislike the general need to sync them manually with external tools like syncthing.
  I already have a good backup solution on my main server and secondary server (For the curious: Veeam backup and replication that backs my proxmox VMs). No need to manage another set of backups. Another reason I want everything in one spot as I already have everything scattered.
• A tree view of my notes like obsidian and OneNote does. Plus point if the app can even do sections like OneNote does.
• (Optional) A way change-log of the edits done. Some apps do it by implementing git or have a very rudimentary way to manage that
• Mobile/desktop companian app: PWA is okay but I would probably miss out on the caching feature. I would prefer an actual (android) app on my phone. Same for Windows.

What I found so far but have issues so far:

• silverbullet: Server-side but seems to miss the side bar with the tree view (which can probably be added by another extension). Seems like the best candidate so far
• Joplin: Seems alright to use but I can't use callouts which (to me) is mandatory to use with coding/scripting tasks.
• Obsidian: Fits best of all I found but I dislike the $4. But still miles better as the former option which was (i believe) $15 monthly
• BookStack: I bit limited how it manages the change-log. Seems okay
• Outline: No way to sync it without paying beyond manual sync. Didnt try it out much but I like how it looks.
• Logseq: Same issues as with obsidian: Paid sync. Didnt look much beyond
• Joplin: Sufficient but no callouts :(
• Trilium Notes: Maintenance mode. Not a deal-breaker but I don't want to migrate something that could maybe die :/

Thanks for reading the wall of text and I wish you a good start into the year of 2025. ✌️

Trying to set tight permissions on my future NAS.
The essential on what I have:
TrueNAS NFS storage <- mounted via NFS -> Proxmox VE Host <-> Debian 12 VM
That's all fine and so on.
My little Debian VM:

Background:

• media = media library for Jellyfin
• nas = small (future) file server for my PC running Windows
• backup = used to store backups of various services like Firewall backups with SFTP etc.

The storage on the debian VM will be mounted by a NUC running bare metal Debian due to hardware acceleration. The proxmox host is unable to do it due to it also being a NUC. But I like the flexibility I will soon have because I can just nuke my bare-metal NUC without loosing any data.

Anyway my real problem is with permissions on my media drive.
My permissions right now are as following:

1. /srv/dev-disk-by-uuid-e3e0eac5-806a-44e9-a0e9-07fb99a18281# ls -l media
drwxrwxr-x 3 nobody nogroup 4096 Oct 12 20:45 media

What I am trying is:

• Docker host mounts /srv/dev-disk-by-uuid-e3e0eac5-806a-44e9-a0e9-07fb99a18281/media via NFS
• The docker containers should only be able to access the the data directory inside it (2. ls -l) as mediaU:serviceG
• In addition I wanna access, modify and move files with my windows user without being part of the service group. Because of this I have setup SGID and ACL on the /media/data/media folder. The ACL was set recursive as follows:

/srv/dev-disk-by-uuid-e3e0eac5-806a-44e9-a0e9-07fb99a18281/media/data# getfacl media/
# file: media/
# owner: mediaU
# group: serviceG
# flags: -s-
user::rwx
group::rwx
group:extUserG:rwx
mask::rwx
other::r-x
default:user::rwx
default:group::rwx
default:group:extUserG:rwx
default:mask::rwx
default:other::r-x

So far so good. mediaU:serviceG has RWX permissions (2775).
My user is part of the group extUserG also with 775 permission.

My issue and how I tested it under the root user executing commands via su:

• Works:
  root@NAS01:/srv/dev-disk-by-uuid-e3e0eac5-806a-44e9-a0e9-07fb99a18281/media/data# su mediaU -c 'mkdir dir-mediaU'
• Doesn't work:
  root@NAS01:/srv/dev-disk-by-uuid-e3e0eac5-806a-44e9-a0e9-07fb99a18281/media/data# su appoxo -c 'mkdir dir-extUserG' mkdir: cannot create directory ‘dir-extUserG’: Permission denied

BUT if I enter one level deeper inside the freshly created dir-mediaU folder I am able to create files with my personal account:

root@NAS01:/srv/dev-disk-by-uuid-e3e0eac5-806a-44e9-a0e9-07fb99a18281/media/data# cd dir-mediaU/

So dear Lemmy Community:
Have I done something wrong in my setup or thinking? I have no problem as it is right now but I am sure it will be annoying to troubleshoot in the future so might as well fix it while still setting it up.

Thanks in advance for helping slowly escaping the windows world :)

Background

Hello fellow self-hosters and homelabbers, A few weeks ago I was able to fill my new NAS with the proper hardware I needed to expand on my earlier setup.
Due to the new capabilities I also wanted a fresh restart. But the more I think about doing one thing, the more I hit other road blocks amd think about doing Y.
So I wanted to ask how you would solve my goal.

My current (main) setup:

• Hardware: 11th Gen i5 Nuc with a 8TB HDD attached via USB
• OS: Debian 11
• Software: OMV6 for management and Docker for a diverse set of containers
• Current containers: HortusFox + MongoDB, *arrs-stack, Jellyfin, uptime kuma, unifi network application + mariaDB, traefik, wallos

Current available hardware for use:

1x 13th gen i3 NUC running Proxmox 8.2
1x 11th gen i5 NUC
1x uGreen DXP4800+ NAS with 4x15TB HDDs in Raidz2. The OS is TrueNAS scale

My plans:

• NAS storage made accessible via NFS to the proxmox VE.
• NAS storage mainly planned as mass-storage for Jellyfin.
• Reimage my 11th gen NUC with a bare-metal Debian install for Docker.
  (I will not virtualize on the 11th Gen NUC because I can't pass the iGPU to the VM and not really interested in LXC containers)

Problems and questions I have at this moment:

1: Should I do a media-storage VM only utilized for serving media and do the computing on another VM or do a general VM for both?

• Upside to an all-in-one VM: Less problems with serving storage between many different nodes and keeping it organized.
  Upside to specialized VMs (storage & compute VM): Better focus on ressources like CPU and RAM.
  2: Should I place my whole docker stack again on the 11th Gen NUC or place the stacks in their own VM(s)? Example:
  service stack in service-focused VM
  media-focused stack in media VM (which also serves the files for jellyfin)
  Jellyfin bare-metal/dockerized on NUC 11th Gen

I hope someone can maybe help me untangle my grown mess and plans. My skills with Linux are not very deep and very beginner level. If you are willing to help please be patient with stupid questions.

If you have any better solutions, pointers to research, (blog) articles on architecting such solutions, examples how you solved storage/management or just willing to help me, I'd be very grateful :)

So often they go end of sale. Once gone and restocked I will hoard it.

Plant is a Yuzu Tree

The tree is declared as a "Citrus Ichangensis x Citrus reticula" but the buldge looks suspiciously like something after a grafting process.
I don't have a problem with it but the seller didn't mention any grafting being done.
I am also cautious because I live in a zone 7a area and don't wanna kill my first attempt.

Any help is appreciated :)
