Help needed with selfhosting Obsidian/FOSS way to publish obsidian? (slrpnk.net)

Hello everyone! I want to selfhost/publish my obsidian vault but can't figure out a good way to do it selfhostable way, I've seen a couple of projects that are intended to help with hosting obsidian as static website, but they are either outdated or suspicious looking. I've written up a small vault with guide on how to join and use matrix server that I've set up for my collective and hoped I could turn it into wiki of sorts

Any help and/or suggestions are appreciated!!!

@rnope I use Quartz https://quartz.jzhao.xyz/. I also use an Obsidian plugin https://github.com/Enveloppe/obsidian-enveloppe to automatically upload parts of my vault to GitHub. Here is the final result: https://notes.lesleylai.info/

Seconding Quartz, but I also wanted to share how I self-host all the services required. I self-host Forgejo and use obsidian-git to make it easier to push my vault changes to my self-hosted repo. The repo has a workflow that runs the Quartz build on any new commit, building to a location my web server points to.

It works pretty well. About 2 minutes after a change is pushed, the build with those changes is done and being served.

I use grav for a site and have setup the folder as a vault for obsidian

I've actually been pondering on a way to do basically the exact same thing. I just haven't decided how I want to select which pages to be published. (I don't want to publish everything)

I have tentative plans to do this with Astro, Caddy, and Nix. (My server runs NixOS so I want the entire setup to be declared using nix.)

This looks really close to how I plan to do it, ty! Will look into it
