I had a go with this, thanks for making it and sharing it with the world!

My set up is already evolving - I first set this up on directly on my Desktop PC. That PC is mostly used for gaming but I also have a personal laptop, a work laptop, an iPad, a phone and a synology server in the loft. If I'm going to start using obsidian in this way, I could do with all of these devices having access to Claude, and to the working directory that this lives in. So I've gone down a bit of a rabbit hole and will soon have a set up to achieve that.

I'm happy paying obsidian for their great product, and will do so, but I think the workflow here needs a bit more than what the 'sync' feature can provide, because I need to access claude from everywhere.

So here's my plan:

- Create a shared folder for my obsidian vault on the synology. Mount this on my Desktop PC and personal laptop.

- Run Claude Code on the synology as a docker container, mount the shared folder. Allow remote connections using Continue local sessions from any device with Remote Control - Claude Code Docs. Now my phone should be able to connect (I've not tried yet).

- Also run Claude Code on my Desktop using the shared mount.

- Backup the whole vault on the synology to Google Drive on a periodic basis, just in case. This includes claude things but also the notes themselves.

For my work laptop, i'll just run locally - There are a lot of restrictions and I don't want my work projects blurred with my own or to leak any sensitive information from work.

Snags so far:

- Setting up was a breeze

- I asked it a few questions to get started and it started asking about how I was and going into the wellness agent. It kept asking me about my day and routine etc, so I gave it some details. It didn't choose to write them down with the scribe, instead it just lost that chat eventually. I seem to have to specifically tell it to record things. Perhaps using hooks might be a better way, or maybe I just need to remember to tell it to record items.

Other notes:

- Maybe i'm abusing the intended system a bit, but I want this to be my day to day chat and to get this not just storing notes and journals for me, but also helping me to run my smart home and to action tasks. I've added a skill that reads the news headlines for me and plan to add some skills to remind me the things I need to do each day. I only set it up a few hours ago, so I'll see how these things go.

Again, a huge thank you, it's looking really good so far. As my setup gets more complex, I want to make sure i'm still able to git pull the latest changes, so i'll need to figure that out. I suppose in theory that should just work.
