I use Trilium and I like it. The first thing I would like to mention: Trilium is stale and there is Trilium Next the official successor… More or less… If you choose to try, start with the one that is still in development.

But to be fair, I does not use it as I wanted to. My plan was to use it completly with markdown but I am to dumb or ignorant to do it right. So I simply use the wysiwig style integration to style my texts.

I will watch a video that shows me how to properly use markdown in there.

On the other hand, actually I think about switching to some AsciiDoc Notes/Wiki stuff. Simply because I like the way AsciiDoc works…

And the last to mention: I have no experience with Authelia.

Ive had Trilium running for 2 years and it’s been perfect for me but I’m not a power user of it. I’ve yet to upgrade to Trilim Next, simply not needing anything more. I guess all I can say is it hasn’t eaten my data.

After trying a bunch I settled on trillium, it seemed the best of the bunch. My only complaint would be the cloning note wasn’t working like I expected. I think I expected the Clone to make a copy, but it was more of a symlink duplicate

I tried it in the past but had problems with the linux app (when are they releasing the flatpak to flathub?) so I put it aside for now. I want to try obsidian next but am not happy with it not being open source and that you either have to pay for sync or use the community livesync which could basically stop working with every update. Maybe I will go back to trilium but I have to stop switching and stick to one for a while lol

I’ve been a Joplin user as well for some time and decided to switch to something different too. I looked at Trilium as a possible alternative but decided it wasn’t for me. Seems like their self hosted sync server doesn’t have much in terms of proper authentication at all? At least from what I’ve seen from the setup and when I skimmed through the docs. However there does seem to be encryption available which at least seems to be something. The interface also seems very cluttered and has a wild amount of features I’ll never even dream of using extensively. I needed something more simple and streamlined.

With that in mind and as I use Authentik for authentication and user management I decided to look elsewhere. I’m currently testing Jotty/Jotty.page, however they want to format it, and it has everything I need. But it lacks encryption and a proper mobile app. It does however have PWA support which is at least something. I do also enjoy that it is pretty much completely directory based. Even the users and user sessions and shared notes are just JSON files. This makes active backups a breeze and disaster recovery is going into a users directory and making a copy of their directories and .md files. It’s growing on me to say the least.

I use siyuan. github.com/siyuan-note/siyuan

I have used both but just started using jotty (jotty.page, github link on the bottom). The SSO setup with Authentik was seamless and it seems really snappy so far and the Dev seems active and involved.

I’ve been using Trilium for years and the feature set has grown significantly. It is pretty simple up front but has all the bells and whistles just an extra click or two away. It is entirely free (no up sells, pro tiers, subscriptions, etc - you get it all free, so do support the developer if you can!) There is a third party android app that works quite well if you need that and the pwa is quite good too. I’m pretty sure you won’t be disappointed. it seemed like almost every time I thought trilium was missing a feature, I would find out that it actually has it (or something similar). The only thing I would say is that if you’re a flat file only person, then it isn’t for you - it stores the notes in a database -even though they can be easily exported in a directory format.

I was going to switch to trillium next, but in the end I decided not because it relies on a database even more than Joplin does.

I’m in the process of giving Silver Bullet a try. It seems to be pretty well designed. I don’t really like that folders are just cosmetic and not useful for navigation, but I like that it is open source, that the documents are saved in the file system, and that it’s self-hosted instead of synced.

I use authelia and trillium and the oidc implementation is bad. It works but it double consent screens even with implicit etc

The app itself is ok. Pretty useful from time to time to plan a project

Personally I use Joplin as it’s super customizable and I like sorting my notes in “notebook”. I am syncing my notes with Nextcloud, but you can also use anything that’s WebDAV, OneDrive (ew), or anything that uses S3 (like Backblaze)
