alt Hacker NewsI have a very similar setup, but I went a step further by writing a custom Obsidian plugin that handles compressing assets / transforming frontmatter / pushing the bundle up to my Github blog repo.
Github has an automated action that then uses Pelican (a python based static site generator) to convert to HTML and deploys it to my VPS where it is served by Caddy.
Makes it very easy to have a WYSIWYG interface, the blog pages look basically identical to Obsidian.

Nice! I especially like the automatic compression of assets. It's such a pain to do it manually that I don't bother most of the time. I cross my fingers and hope the reader has a fast internet connection.
