Found a project that would allow me to use Obsidian in the browser (I was gonna do it via cloudflare tunnel and gsuite oauth) and I set it up but the project literally just sets up a VM inside of docker that uses the browser window as a Remote Desktop session.
I guess it’s cool that it exists but it’s so incredibly laggy and shitty to use, so much that I don’t think I’d ever use it, so I tore the VMs down. I feel like there’s gotta be a better way, but I would use it so infrequently that I don’t wanna dump a bunch of time into figuring out a better solution.
On the upshot, the headless obsidian sync VM I set up has been so nice to use for scripting stuff. I know it was developed for the purposes of plugging an MCP into it but man just having a headless machine that can sync my vault and back files up somewhere locally is so good. (1/2)
