Ignis is a self-hosted web application that runs Obsidian in a standard browser by shimming the Electron APIs Obsidian depends on, keeping vaults on the server. It ships as a Docker container that downloads Obsidian from its official source on first run.
Use cases
- access my Obsidian vault from a browser without remote desktop
- self-host Obsidian as a web app
- run Obsidian on a home server and reach it remotely
- take notes in Obsidian from any device via the web
- replace VNC-based Obsidian remote access with a native-feeling web app
When to choose
- you want browser access to your own Obsidian installation with a close-to-native experience
- you prefer self-hosting your vault on your own server
- VNC/remote-desktop solutions feel sluggish for remote note-taking
When to avoid
- you need built-in authentication - Ignis has none and requires putting auth and HTTPS in front of it
- you want a fully supported, stable product - the project is new and under active development
- you need offline local-first access rather than server-hosted vaults
