## What it is
A Docker container image that runs the Obsidian.md note-taking desktop app and exposes it through a web browser via a web-based remote desktop interface. It lets users access their Obsidian vaults from any browser without installing the desktop client.

## Use cases
- run obsidian in a browser via docker
- access my obsidian vault from any device without installing the app
- self-host obsidian on a home server
- use obsidian on a chromebook or tablet through the browser
- host obsidian behind a reverse proxy for remote access
- run obsidian on an arm server in a container

## When to choose
- you want browser-based access to Obsidian without installing it locally
- you self-host apps on a server or NAS and want your notes available anywhere
- you use devices where installing desktop apps is impractical

## When to avoid
- you only use Obsidian on one desktop where the native app works fine
- you need to expose it publicly without securing it, as the README warns against this
- you need offline-first performance of a native application

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: active

- domain: self-hosted, developer-tools, cross-platform
