Overview - Obsidian Research 🪨¶
Description¶
Going to test obsidian publish a bit to see if it works or I should try self hosting it instead
Conclusion¶
Is this worth is? - meh - lack of access controls sucks - not cheap - could be cheaper to self host - Obsidian - Publish Self Hosted 📣📝
Notes¶
set up docs - enable in plugins - hit 'publish changes' in left sidebar
works well with selective folders - pick folders/files individually - only update when explicitly published - nice
off the bat - this already seems better than anything i'd build lol
custom domain - notes.danielnazarian.com - setup custom domain notes - just some cloudflare stuff - https://notes.danielnazarian.com
password protection? - add a site password - https://help.obsidian.md/Obsidian+Publish/Security+and+privacy - can add multiple passwords - can passwords affect different files? - seemingly no :/ this is where it falls short
multiple passwords/user support? - multiple passwords yes - but can't control specific file/dir permissions - collaborators setting - https://help.obsidian.md/Obsidian+Publish/Collaborating - invited dnazsells@gmail.com - can edit and update files - even add yes - if we can't control share permissions this is sadly probably useless - i dont think i really have a use for this for just myself - nor do i think i can share everything with whoever i share with - this does not seem possible at the time - emailed to ask if this was possible - waiting on response - asked in forum - TODO
What to actually share now lol¶
only really matters if selective permissions
pages/dirs to share - get twenty stuff? - projects/ongoing? - personal/reviews or travel?
without selective permissions this is likely just useless lol
google analytics?¶
https://help.obsidian.md/Obsidian+Publish/Set+up+Google+Analytics - is this worthwhile? TODO wait to see if sticking with this or not
add custom css/favicon¶
add custom stuff
- publish.css to add custom CSS
- publish.js to add custom JavaScript
- favicon-32x32.png to set the favicon
TODO
wait to see if sticking with this or not
