- [Free Blog Creation] I tried hosting a static site with Obsidian and GitHub Pages!

GitHub issues is almost the best notebook in the world
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].

Ditching Obsidian and building my own
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

Ow I Blog with Obsidian, Hugo, GitHub, and Cloudflare – Zero Cost Owned
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.)

How I Built My Personal Website for Free with Hugo
Its inconvenient to have to sit in front of a computer and open a text editor to write a blog post every time. A common solution is to use a CMS (Content Management System). I used to use Decap CMS (formally Netlify CMS), but it wasnt very convenient for connecting to a GitHub repo, and it didnt generate a blank line between YAML frontmatter and the body, which sometimes caused issues. So this time, I used Tina CMS. Fortunately, Tina Cloud is free for up to two users.
