Some time ago I had a need for centralized storage and management of my Obsidian notes. The idea of running Obsidian on my Home Assistant instance coupled with remote access and a Telegram Sync add-on seemed incredibly promising to me. Unfortunately, after the initial search, only requests from other users were found. Such an add-on did not exist at that time, so it was decided to create it.
To avoid reinventing the wheel, I started looking for ready-made Obsidian Docker images. After a short investigation, a suitable candidate was found as a basis for the add-on: GitHub - linuxserver/docker-obsidian. And so it completely satisfied the needs of the add-on, because it was actively updated almost every day.
And so after several days of hard debugging and testing I am ready to introduce Obsidian as Home Assistant add-on. In order to use the add-on you need to add a new add-on repository to Home Assistant. Address of the repository is https://github.com/crazyrokr/hassio-addons. After which the add-on will become available from Home Assistant add-on store.
In light of all of the above, I encourage anyone interested to try this add-on and leave a review. Any inquiries and constructive criticism are welcome. I am currently exploring the possibilities of tighter integration of the add-on using the REST API.
I’ve installed it and it appears to be working. Over the coming weekend I should be able to test things out a bit. One thing that I’ve always been disappointed with is CTRL-N doesn’t work for creating a new document. Is there any documentation for alternate keyboard shortcuts that don’t interfere with those already in use by the web browser hosting the Home Assistant page?
Hi, thanks for the feedback. The most straightforward way is to move your vault to /share mount, then it will be available to Obsidian. If you wouldn’t like to move the vault, then it should be implemented from my side. Please let me know which mount point is required, and I’ll think how this can be achieved
