Sync keeps switching off #495

andymarden commented 2 months ago

I am going round and round in circles with this and getting close to ditching it (and possibly obsidian as a result).

I have two vaults - one is on desktop and one mobile device; the other is on desktop and two devices.

Syncing is through self-hosted couchdb.

I keep finding that one or more devices is not syncing. There are so many options to fix it, and that's part of the problem - rebuild remote db, rebuild local db, recreate local files, with it without local chunks, etc. I end up doing several of these for a vault at each end (especially because it is not clear exactly where the problem is). Eventually I get it working again - until next time. It's frustrating for me and completely untenable for the family. Surely it is possible to complete this and (I have raised this before) provide:

Another thing is that when I set Livesync, I find it sometimes resets itself to On Events.

Can you make this (a) more reliable (b) better feedback when there are issues and (c) more user-focused recovery options?

Really want to keep using this but can't if it does not improve.

Thank you for opening the issue! I wish I could answer your question more simply, but we have to collect the information. Would you mind if I ask you to share the report which can be made on the Hatch pane?

However, this is not sure but these things seem to be related to the already reported issue. Please update Self-hosted LiveSync to v0.23.23 and check the behaviour again. I hope that the latest version solves the issue.
