Any way to edit a file over internet? (lemmy.world)

I would like a program or website to connect to a computer and be able to edit a file there.

Say I have a server. Call it 192.168.1.2 Say I have a file. Call it /data/editme.txt

I want either a simple link I can bookmark to edit this file, or to a note app (such as Joplin or Obsidian) and also be able to edit this file.

I tried using Syncthing, however I would rather not have to sync the file from one location to another. This file has no need to be stored in multiple locations.

Anything that'll solve this for me?

You don't need a dedicated git server if you just want a simple place to store git. Simply place a git repository on your server and use ssh://yourserver/path/to/repo as the remote URL and you can push/pull.

If you want more than that (i.e. a nice Web UI and user management, issue tracking, ...) then Gitea is a common solution, but you can even run Gitlab itself locally.
