Hey everyone! :)
I am currently looking to replace Obsidian with a self-hostable alternative (that preferably also uses Markdown - but it’s not a must) but instead of storing the files directly on disk has a way to have all the files within in an encrypted vault / binary format.
Reason being I have very very sensitive data that needs to be stored (employee & medically related).
I read that Logseq used to support this feature but it has since been deprecated, some light googling didn’t surface any results other than that so I would be delighted if anyone had any suggestions!
Thanks so much in advance for any and all help! :)
edit: Forgot to mention that it needs to support Linux as well as Android
The problem is how many random characters can you remember in your head?
A good encryption key would be around 32 characters to form a 256 bit encryption key.
You can do a fun game of encrypt the encryption key with a password but that’s just another vulnerability in the chain.
I recommend getting a PGP key stored on a yubikey and then encrypt all your notes with it since it’s all in markdown, I store my notes on Google drive and keep them decrypted in memory so that I can still use Obsidian.
Or just use a password manager like keepass where the problem of storing passwords has been solved already…
As long as you protect that password store with a sufficiently strong password that you store in a password manager that has a sufficiently strong password :P
I joke but yes some sort of password store is what you would use but make sure that password store needs something like a yubikey with a strong private key on it _
