Selfhostable notes app that encrypts the files on Disk?
Selfhostable notes app that encrypts the files on Disk?
Hey everyone! :)
I am currently looking to replace Obsidian with a self-hostable alternative (that preferably also uses Markdown - but it's not a must) but instead of storing the files directly on disk has a way to have all the files within in an encrypted vault / binary format.
Reason being I have very very sensitive data that needs to be stored (employee & medically related).
I read that Logseq used to support this feature but it has since been deprecated, some light googling didn't surface any results other than that so I would be delighted if anyone had any suggestions!
Thanks so much in advance for any and all help! :)
edit: Forgot to mention that it needs to support Linux as well as Android

Joplin can encrypt and it is selfhostable and uses Markdown
Benefit: apps for every platform
After some more research it seems that Joplin only E2E encrypts notes at transport and not at rest[1]? e.g. it only stores plain text files on the harddrive just like Obsidian does? This sadly makes it not viable for my use case :/
E2e in transport is https with extra steps 😅
No it is fully encrypted, even on the server. This topic was years old. You can read a good explanation here
Oh thanks for the heads-up! Will look more into it then.
Thx but I was simply refering to e2e in transport 😅
They do encryption at rest too. Really good notes app and it's cross platform too. Only missing a “web” client for when you want to access your notes on a computer without Joplin installed (but that defeats the purpose of the E2EE IMO)
