I still haven’t found an open source note taking app I like, that I can also self-host and access remotely. I tried Logseq but that wasn’t for me, which means for now I am stuck with Obsidian which is good but unfortunately closed source. Its also unfortunately local only and any established ways to get remote access has essentially been using KasmVNC, not a very convenient solution.
So, Ignis shims the Electron and Node APIs that Obsidian uses, and by doing so lets the app run in a browser. It works mostly just like on desktop, with some features requiring more involved workarounds. And naturally plugins may or may not work depending on what APIs are used and if they’ve been shimmed yet.
No obsidian code is shipped with the project, the docker image downloads the official obsidian release and serves it unmodified into the shimmed page.
