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?

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.

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?

Related question on the local subnets - I currently have Tailscale set up on my home server, phone, and laptop. However, it’s a little annoying that apps on my phone (like Synology Drive) should reference local IPs when on my LAN and then Tailscale IPs when outside of my home. Would you recommend setting up an alternate device at home (like Raspberry Pi) to function as a subnet router for Tailscale so that I can just use my local IPs no matter where I am? Is there any benefit to installing Tailscale on every device vs using a single subnet router for the entire home network?

My guess would be that each of their devices (phone, laptop, etc) syncs back to their server/NAS, but they do not sync to each other. The server/NAS is the hub, and each device is a spoke.

I use Home Assistant as well, but Apple HomeKit (and the new Matter protocol) can also be cloudless I think.

Lots of stuff! Currently running almost all of these in Docker on a Synology NAS:

• Code Server - access my notes files remotely
• Gitea - only used to store notes that are edited in Obsidian (or Code Server as mentioned above)
• Home Assistant - home automation
• Homebridge - used for one or two devices that have better integrations than natively in Home Assistant
• Jellyfin - video streaming platform (installed because it’s FOSS and seems interesting, but I rarely use it)
• Overseerr - user-request app for video streaming platform (installed when I anticipated sharing my movies/shows before realizing that my ISP severely limits my upload speeds)
• Pi-Hole - block all ads network-wide
• Plex - primary video streaming platform
• Radarr - download movies
• Readarr - download books but have had better luck with Libgen on an ad-hoc basis
• Sonarr - download shows
• YTDL - download YT videos
• Wireguard - VPN into the home network
