Self-hosted sync backend for Obsidian LiveSync
What's new
Internal cleanup: Credential surfacing is now owned solely by the install step (removed a redundant code path and its coordinating store flag). No user-facing change.
Includes: live Reset Password with no downtime, notifications for password changes and first start, and the "Compact Databases" action.
Install
Download the .s9pk for your server's architecture and sideload it via System → Sideload in the StartOS UI:
- ARM / aarch64 (e.g. Raspberry Pi, Start9 Pure):
couchdb_aarch64.s9pk - x86_64 / amd64:
couchdb_x86_64.s9pk
After installing
Your admin password is generated automatically. To retrieve it:
- Open the CouchDB service in StartOS.
- Go to the Actions tab.
- Run Show Credentials: your username (
admin) and password are displayed.
StartOS also raises this as a task right after install, so you can jump straight to it. Use the same username and password in Obsidian's Self-hosted LiveSync plugin.
