Remosidian Guide

Remosidian can host a vault in two ways:

  • CLI host: run npx remosidian from a vault folder.
  • Private Obsidian plugin host: install the Remosidian Host plugin from the private release bundle provided to licensed users.

The Obsidian plugin is not listed in the Obsidian community plugin directory and is not distributed as an open-source community plugin.

Start From The CLI

cd ~/Documents/MyVault
npx remosidian

Remosidian starts a local host for the current vault folder, opens a short pairing window, and prints a QR code for the mobile app.

Start From The Private Obsidian Plugin

Install the private plugin bundle into the target vault:

<your-vault>/.obsidian/plugins/remosidian-host/
  main.js
  manifest.json
  styles.css   # if included

Then open Obsidian on desktop, go to Settings -> Community plugins -> Installed plugins, enable Remosidian Host, open its settings, and click Show QR Code. Do not look for Remosidian in the community plugin marketplace.

Remote Access

By default, the CLI and private plugin host can advertise a Cloudflare Tunnel. Use --local when you only want LAN pairing, --relay for your own tunnel, and --host for Tailscale or another stable host.

The plugin host is desktop-only because it starts a local server inside Obsidian's desktop process.
