Public Notes Installation Guide

Note: Message me when doing it because I need to allow file sharing manually per device.

1. Download Syncthing (Base)
2. Start Syncthing (web GUI)
3. Under the Remote Devices Menu (bottom right), click on "Add Remote Device" and add the id: 4VVE5DQ-4GUD7ZG-I77TE5M-ZEJFSDS-IOTSSIV-DTLHMZG-3MYZOOL-TAZO2QA. Let me know when you have completed this step.
4. After I have sent the sharing request, you should receive a "arch-surface wants to share a folder" notification. Accept.
   • Select where you want to save the notes. You may change the folder label.
   • Set the folder type to "Receive Only".
   • To save battery, you may also want to disable "Watch for changes".
5. Download Obsidian.md
6. Once the downloading of the shared files is done, start obsidian and click on open folder as vault and add the folder you created in step 4.
7. To keep in sync, I usually have the sync active after every lecture. Let me know if there are any issues.

Browsing the Vault

• In the Settings, enable community plugins.
  In particular, download the LaTeX Suite Plugin.
• To properly load the LaTeX, open the LaTeX Macros page on startup.
• Enable the Backlinks Plugin. It is very useful. For example, it can show you where a certain result or definition is used.
• You may want to add other plugins. Play around with it.
• If you want to contribute to the vault, let me know and we can find a way to make the syncing two-sided.
