HTTPS required when server not on localhost

[zer0yu]

I set it up by referring to your readme. However it does not open the synchronization process properly. I don't know if I need to apply https certificate? The specific error message is as follows:

[acheong08]

Check your $HOST environment variable

[acheong08]

I might change the environment variable being read due to conflicts with pre-existing variables

[acheong08]

Also open up database.db and check what host the vault has stored.

I don't know if I need to apply https certificate

The answer is most likely yes unless you're running it on localhost. They use https by default for the websocket

Ok, I'll configure the https. I have two more questions:

1. Can I use IP directly for $HOST environment variable?
2. Can you share the full Nignix config file?

Trying to get this to work locally:

• currently on a Mac (running both Obsidian + go run cmd/obsidian-sync/main.go)
• I used export HOST=127.0.0.1
• I updated the Obsidian Sync URL in the plugin to http://localhost:3000

The handlers are running and I can interact with them via cURL HTTP requests, but my Obsidian app on macOS doesn't seem to be working.

Happy to help with submitting PRs to get this working and developing this further (have been very annoyed by iCloud syncing not working well with Obsidian).

I am getting this error when testing on my server (CentOS 7, nginx+ssl)

There is no data in the database->file

When running on localhost, there is no need to export HOST.

To debug, you can open up the electron developer tools and do location.reload() to make sure all requests show up

[acheong08]

Can I use IP directly for $HOST environment variable?

Yes.

[acheong08]

By default, if you don't configure it:

var Host = "localhost:3000/ws"

[acheong08]

Can you share the full Nignix config file?

That is the full nginx config. My SSL/TLS is being handled by Cloudflare

[acheong08]

If you're running on localhost, there is no need for nginx ofc

Another possible issue:

There has been a lot of breaking changes over the past few days & hours as I add new features. You might need to delete the db files and restart (and sign up again) if you've pulled new versions
