Perlite is a self-hosted, web-based markdown viewer optimized for Obsidian vaults, serving as an open-source alternative to Obsidian Publish. Drop your vault or markdown folder into a web directory and it automatically builds a browsable site with search, an interactive graph, and Obsidian theme support.

Use cases

• publish my obsidian vault to the web
• self-hosted alternative to obsidian publish
• browse markdown notes in a browser without converting them
• host a personal knowledge base online
• share obsidian notes with a searchable website
• render markdown folder structure as a website with graph view

When to choose

• you want to publish an Obsidian vault without a database or build step
• you need search, tags, links, and an interactive graph for your notes
• you prefer a lightweight self-hosted PHP or Docker deployment

When to avoid

• you need collaborative editing or write access from the web
• you want to expose untrusted user input, since the markdown parser is not hardened for that
• you need multi-user authentication or access control out of the box
