Setup tutorial

Connect Obsidian to EiraSync — in a few steps.

Copy your setup link from the dashboard, install the LiveSync plugin, paste the link — done. Follow each section in order.

1. Get your setup link

  1. In the EiraSync dashboard

    Sign in, open your vault, and click “Generate new setup link”.

    Copy the setup link and URI passphrase — you will need both in Obsidian.

    Tip: Save them now. “Regenerate” disconnects all devices.

2. Install the LiveSync plugin

  1. Install & enable in Obsidian

    Settings → Community plugins → Browse → search “LiveSync”.

    Install “Self-hosted LiveSync” by vrtmrz and click “Enable”. Same steps on your phone.

    Enable the plugin

    Desktop — click “Enable”

    Search LiveSync on your phone

    Phone — same flow

3. Set up your first device

  1. Follow the wizard

    Choose “I am setting this up for the first time”.

    Keep “Use a Setup URI” as the connection method and continue.

    Setup URI as connection method

  2. Paste link and passphrase

    Paste setup link and URI passphrase from EiraSync → “Test Settings and Continue”.

    When asked about uploading: “Yes” — your notes go to the cloud.

    Enter setup URI and passphrase

4. Add another device

Same setup link as device 1 — do not generate a new one in the dashboard.

  1. Second computer

    Install LiveSync, choose “adding a device to an existing setup” in the wizard.

    Paste the same setup link and passphrase. When asked about uploading: “No”.

  2. Phone via QR code

    Install LiveSync, choose “adding a device to an existing setup”, then “Scan a QR Code”.

    On your first device: Settings → Self-hosted LiveSync → “Setup” tab → “Show QR code” → “For your eyes only”.

    Scan the QR code with your phone, enter the passphrase.

    Phone: add another device
    On computer: QR code settings

    “Setup” tab → “Show QR code”

    Phone: choose scan QR code
    On computer: reveal QR code

    Tap “For your eyes only”

Nice work — you did it!

Your notes now sync across your devices. Check the dashboard anytime to see your vault status.

Good to know

  • Zero-knowledge architecture

    Your notes are encrypted on your device before they reach the server. EiraSync only stores encrypted data — we cannot read your notes, even if we wanted to. Only you hold the key.

  • One link for all devices

    Desktop and phone share the same setup link.

  • “Not a server admin”

    You can ignore this — normal for your private vault.
