2 years ago Hi Sigaloid.
Self-hosting is why i love trilium. I do not understand how other people share there (personal and intimate) notes with a cloud provider with other apps. Just don't ;-) You are right, since we can encrypt the notes, we would not need to trust the hoster too much, and that could be a good way forward.
My hosting looks as follows: I pay 5 EUR/month for a VPS (strato, v10) with 8GB ram and 4 "cores", 200 gb ssd. On this instance, I run:
- Heimdal
- Nextcloud
- Trilium
- Firefly III
- some personally developed apps
However, the addition with different tenants inside trilium could still be nice feature, since it could be used as a form of trilium with multiple users. I am thinking something like the cloud/enterprise version of wordpress, where multiple tenants are possible
I think the trilium github might be the wrong place to ask, since I think that trilium is superior to all other note-taking apps and still, people use other apps and pay 3-5 or 10 USD per month.
One last note: I would be very much interested in thinking about creating a collective, or a non-profit organization that focusses on providing "cloud"-services like nextcloud or trilium to other people, so that we could provide some kind of libre alternative to hosting. If that makes any sense :-P

Edit: I launched! Visit https://trilium.cc/paid-hosting for more info.
It would be on a subdomain, so "example.trilium.com" (example domain; I don't own trilium.com). You could use it to access your Trilium instance wherever on the web, and as a secondary sync location/backup; in addition, thanks to the new sharing feature, you can use it to share your notes as a small website!!
The costs are actually not that high depending on how many people are interested, I just want to gauge interest in it for now. How much would you pay for such a service? Keep in mind the goal isn't profit, but more running a community service; I plan on donating some of the profit left over after the costs to zadam (if there's enough interest in it to even cover costs ●︿●).
Some details:
The cost will probably be very affordable (think $2-3 a month, possibly up-front for 6-12 months to pay for initial costs) but I'll give discounts for a few reasons (student, teacher, contributor to Trilium, extenuating circumstances).
If you have any questions at all, please feel free to reply or shoot me an email (admin@matthew.science). Whether I do it is completely dependent on whether/how many would be willing to use it, so let me know sooner rather than later :)
