When you use Bijiben with Nextcloud, you may noticed that your local notes are lost as soon as your device is offline, i for myself had to learn that Bijiben gets randomly confused, clears or/and duplicates notes, it's a mess.

So today i decided to do a little workaround to make Bijiben (local) filebased but still synced with Nextcloud - even tho, this requires a restart of Bijiben on the other device you sync with in order to display your changes / new notes, but i think the benefits weight more here - i think Bijiben's design is a real benefit when creating notes/writing scripts so i didn't yet give it up and try to do workarounds like this one.

Steps in terminal:

  1. close Bijiben on each device

  2. create directory in Nextcloud
    mkdir ~/Nextcloud/Documents/bijiben

  3. backup your local notes, if there are any in the local folder
    cp ~/.local/share/bijiben/* ~/Nextcloud/Documents/bijiben/

  4. replace your old local folder of Bijiben with the synced storage
    rm -r ~/.local/share/bijiben; ln -s ~/Nextcloud/Documents/bijiben ~/.local/share/

  5. open Bijiben and configure it to use the local folder

  6. repeat on synced device

Enjoy a better Bijiben experience! \o/
