I have a sort of similar setup but I haven't started using Obsidian yet, it's on my todo list. I use Eleventy instead of Hugo, with its simple Eleventy-Base-Blog starter template. I use Github action to publish to Github pages instead of using Cloudflare. It's a nascent site/blog, haven't written much, no images yet, so I don't see the need for something more than Github pages right now.

One thing I don't see the author mention that is part of what I plan to do with Obsidian is use Syncthing (which I already use for other things) so I can work on a post when I'm not at my laptop. Probably just to write down ideas/notes and then fully work it out when I get to my laptop.

If the blog author is here, curious if they commit drafts to their repo or not. I personally don't commit drafts. Besides also using 'draft: true` in the front-matter, I gitignore any markdown file where the filename starts with the word "draft". When I'm ready to publish I rename the file.

Nice setup.

Yeah, I do commit drafts. My repo’s private, so I don’t mind keeping everything versioned there, including posts still marked as draft: true.
