  • obsidian-webpage-export

    Export html from single files, canvas pages, or whole vaults. Direct access to the exported HTML files allows you to publish your digital garden anywhere. Focuses on flexibility, features, and style parity.

  • Ideally, I could export my entire vault to HTML and upload the folder structure to some host so that it could be accessed via web browser. I installed the obsidian-webpage-export plugin, but it doesn't seem to work very well. First, the export incredibly slow. Iit seems like it's scrubbing the tabs within Obsidian as it has to open and close each page one at a time during export. This is opposed to just parsing the text files and converting them to HTML which would be much faster. Second, the linked mentions in the exported HTML files do nothing when clicked.

  • pages-gem

    A simple Ruby Gem to bootstrap dependencies for setting up and maintaining a local Jekyll environment in sync with GitHub Pages

  • You can try to use github pages. As it supports markdown files, it will work just fine in terms of content and structure, but obviously without the additional functionality provided by plugins. as a result you will have a free website with the vault content.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • obsidian-enhancing-export

    This is an enhancing export plugin base on Pandoc for Obsidian (https://obsidian.md/ ). It's allow you to export to formats like Markdown、Markdown (Hugo https://gohugo.io/ )、Html、docx、Latex etc.

  • To convert Markdown to HTML inside Obsidian, I've had the best luck with Obsidian Enhancing Export. That in turn requires you install pandoc, which isn't hard but is an extra step. I think you'd have to convert them one at a time if you use this UI.
