quartz VS vitepress

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

Since it’s hosted on GitHub, I snooped through the repo and it appears to be created using VitePress [1].

how are you thinking this will be deployed and how will developers initially integrate this? ie is this a language-level library, or an internal service in a docker container to deploy?

one idea, is vitepress (vitepress.dev) has a local search engine, it would be cool to have moss integrated in that project, https://github.com/vuejs/vitepress

I first tried VitePress, thinking it would be easy for me. I followed the Getting Started Guide. But even during setup, I realized: I'd need time to explore themes, actions, and features. I’d need at least an afternoon with full focus. The baby was already stirring in the carrier—so no time for that.
