quartz VS pages-gem

This tool called Quartz, it's pretty neat: https://quartz.jzhao.xyz

I like that it allows us to set different depth levels for the full graph view and the individual note's view.

As others have pointed out you don't "host" Obsidian - it's just a local collection of markdown files. But if you're asking about a self-hosted alternative to "Obsidian Publish" for creating a knowledgebase that others can answer, I'm Quartz[0], a static-site generator designed to turn Obsidian markdown files into a website. I'm building and it and hosting it on Gitlab Pages at work[1].

I wonder if https://github.com/jackyzha0/quartz was considered for this, though that project is more setup as an open source Obsidian publish replacement than a private PKMS

Shout out to Quartz, which produces a site similar to Obsidian Publish: https://quartz.jzhao.xyz/

(I would use Obsidian Publish, but it rendered far too slowly on some pages. I do use their excellent sync service though.)

https://quartz.jzhao.xyz/ + cloudflare, write in obsidian and publish with a git push

The site itself is a statically generated Next.js app, built in CI and deployed to GitHub Pages via actions/deploy-pages. No server to manage, no hosting bill.

Static sites are fast and cheap to host, but your data goes stale the moment you deploy. This post shows how a SvelteKit portfolio site serves live data from five external sources while still deploying as static HTML to GitHub Pages.

All three themes are designed for accessible deployment. You can host them for free on Netlify, GitHub Pages, Vercel, or Cloudflare Pages. The only cost is a domain name (which can be as cheap as $5/year on Porkbun).

GitHub Pages → Free for personal projects

This action can store collected benchmark results in GitHub pages branch and provide a chart view. Benchmark results are visualized on the GitHub pages of your project.

But that's not the case. The blog is a simple static generated website using Jekyll, it is built and served through GitHub Pages. With that in mind it makes more sense to use tools and leverage tool calling.

GitHub Pages is designed to host your personal, organization, or project pages from a GitHub repository.

Do you need a server? if the answer is "Yes" then use Next.js. if the answer is "No", you should use Vite and consider Github Pages or Cloudflare Pages to host your Single Page Application.
