Built with Quartz. It’s a static site generator for Obsidian.
I have Quartz set up to publish a folder within my Obsidian vault. The vault is just a folder on my computer. The file based workflow of Obsidian makes it simple to use these notes for other things, like hosting a website.
This page is called This Website.md
and lives in the Projects folder.
How I set up my site:
- Set up a new Quartz.js project
- Navigate to the project root directory.
- Create a symbolic link from the directory in your vault to the
content
directory in your Quartz project.
For me, I use iCloud to sync/backup Obsidian, the symbolic link looks like
ln -s /Users/home/Library/Mobile\ Documents/iCloud~md~obsidian/Documents/vault/08-Portfolio/ content
- Currently I am using Vercel to deploy to https://simons.dev. It’s a one liner
vercel deploy
.
