[!hint] This page discloses some instructions that I thought would have been helpful when I was setting up this project.

Setting up LiveSync was pretty tumultuous. Obsidian has a paid feature called Obsidian Sync, which accomplishes the same thing, but I have a webserver and determination!

Repo is here for those interested.

Once I had the database the guide specified up and running (simple because docker), I routed it through nginx and tried to set up the editor plugin. However, the docs fail to mention that you have to create an empty table inside CouchDB and point the plugin to that, so I was causing all sorts of issues and getting errors I didn't know how to fix until I tried that on a whim. Now it works perfectly and will handle my documents without issue!

I also recommend setting up a keyboard shortcut for the Replicate Now command in Obsidian. I use ctrl+shift+S.
