Here we are! The first post on this particular website that I hope to sync neatly from my workstation's WSL installation to my Yunohost-server. I have been thinking about and trying out various ways to do it: Git repositories, syncing services like Syncthing. But in the end, especially as I take this work laptop with me almost every other day, I don't want anything too sophisticated or requiring real maintenance. So for the sake of reliability and ease-of-use, I want to combine Obsidian (store the static files in a vault folder) with Git (version control those static files to my Gitea-instance and rsync (sync the static files from my Obsidian vault folder to the server). A script on my server is waiting for new files in a user folder to copy (new or modified) or delete files from the user folder to the root path of Zola. I will try this workflow for this blog post and a few future posts or edits and see how it goes.
