I've recently switched from Notion to Obsidian (almost anyway). But I still have to find a good way to sync. I tried nextcloud, but I couldn't get two way sync to work on mobile. I feel like €10,- a month for just sync is a bit much, and it (partly) defeats the idea of "the files are mine".
I wish the official sync software was available for self hosting (ie as a Docker container). Maybe even against a one time fee?
Amazing, sync has been holding me back from adopting Obsidian. I've been tooling around with Nextcloud Notes/Quillpad thus far and while it works, it has its limits - especially since I like to link my notes to one another. This might actually be the thing that finally gets me to switch. Thank you for sharing.

What solutions do others here use for syncing?
Obsidian Livesync
Pros:
bullet proof
Simple
FOSS
Selfhosted
Cons:
password/secrets manager nearly required to setup new devices
fails to make my morning coffee

Syncthing. Works really good for paying nothing.
I use syncthing, it is great for folder syncthing between multiple devices and no "server" needed
SyncThing is fantastic; I use it for Obsidian files and also for password manager databases.
