- When notes are created or modified, Obsidian raises some events. Self-hosted LiveSync catches these events and reflects changes into Local PouchDB.
- PouchDB automatically or manually replicates changes to remote CouchDB.
- Another device is watching remote CouchDB's changes, so retrieve new changes.
- Self-hosted LiveSync reflects replicated changeset into Obsidian's vault.
Note: The figure is drawn as single-directional, between two devices for demonstration purposes. Everything actually occurs bi-directionally between many devices at the same time.
