Obsidian is great except for the times when you can’t sync your notes to a local file system (like on a work computer). Does anyone know of a self-hosted web app that’s effective for reading/editing the markdown files?
Have you tried Remote Save plugin?
I use it to sync from a webdav on my NAS at home to work computer if I ever need it. It also syncs from services like OneDrive, Dropbox, S3 etc.
There are other versions of similar syncing.
Does this work similar to Syncthing where it syncs the markdown files to the local file system? If so, that’s definitely helpful, but I’m trying to avoid saving/storing my personal notes on my work laptop. I’d rather access them through a web interface and avoid local storage (in certain use cases). Another example is where people can’t install custom software on work computers, so it’s helpful to have a non-Obsidian way to edit the files for those times.
I host a copy of Obsidian on my server, and I can access it through a reverse proxy. There isn't any authentication though, so you have to use something like Authelia.
Do you mean that you use a VNC connection to access your server UI? Or is there a way to host Obsidian as a true web app?
It's VNC, but it's included in the docker image I use, so nothing extra other than adding authentication in front of it.
