  • My take on the scoring

    Very Easy: Multiple easy install methods (e.g., one-command OS package, single binary, and/or Docker). If only one install method it should be single binary or OS package. Great documentation. 18–20 points

    Easy: Limited easy methods or only one. Some configuration may be needed, good documentation. 15–17 points

    Moderate: Docker is the only method or manual setup. Average to pool documentation 11–14 points

    Hard: Complex setup, needs regular updates or custom config (e.g. DNS, spam) 6–12 points

    Very Hard or Proprietary: Little to no self-hosting support, undocumented 0–5 points




  • Full points for Docker

    In my opinion anything that only has docker installation should have points removed. Having it as an option is fine,but having it as the only option has several issues

    1- Not every OS even has docker. Take for example FreeBSD

    2- Many, non technical, people may not have or even know what Docker is. Having it as the only install option actually ads complexity for that group of people

    3- Having to install docker for only one system that you want to install adds an entire layer of complexity and in some cases may even outright discourage someone from installing some software



  • I use it to track everything…

    The great thing about Obsidian is how flexible it is. The bad thing about Obsidian is how flexible it is… 😀

    I have seen may people comment, or outright leave, Obsidian because because there was too much to learn… or too many plugins to explore…

    Personally, I only look for plugins if I need something specific. Don’t see the point of trying random plugins. Is like spending time finding solutions to a problem you may not have…

    Also, I work on tech and many documents are in markdown. Obsidian makes it easier to read those. Specially the collapse / expand functionality is really great for exploring large docs… as long as the creators properly used sections (basically # for level 1, ## for level 2…and so on)
