For advanced users : self hosted ?

[beaussan]

Hi,

First of all, I find this plugin really great ! It's something I tried to do using external tools but didn't succeed.

The only thing I'm concern with is data ownership, and I wonder if this can be deployed to a self managed firebase instance ?

As far as I can see in the code, the db entry are deleted after being pulled, but still there is the data on the firebase instance while the obsidian client is not open.

And FYI, you set the db in usa, but according to GDPR, all european's data should be in europe.

So one thing that can be done maybe :

• Add a privacy warning and a way to host it yourself (should be easy with firebase, since you are doing the front + function on the same setup)

I don't mean to only criticize, this project looks really promising ! It really doses fill a hole in obsidian vs other saas note taking app : integration with the outside world ! And the implementation is nice too :)

That is correct!

Oh! I wonder if I can easily configure firebase to do this. I'll look into it.

You should be able to configure the db location, but I think it's only at the creation time last time I had to do it
