+# Desktop Obsidian ↔ VPS AgentOS
+
+## Canonical path on VPS
+
+```
+/home/vpsadmin/AgentOS
+```
+
+Point Obsidian at a **local clone or sync of this tree**, not a third vault.
+
+## Option A — Git (recommended if you use Gitea)
+
+1. Keep AgentOS as the live working tree on the VPS.  
+2. This tree is mirrored under `Tony_tech/personal-agent-os` → `memory-systems/agent-os/`.  
+3. On the laptop (via SSH tunnel to Gitea if needed):
+   ```bash
+   git clone http://localhost:3000/Tony_tech/personal-agent-os.git
+   # Open memory-systems/agent-os as vault OR whole repo
+   ```
+4. Obsidian → Open folder as vault.  
+5. Before big sessions: `git pull`. After edits: commit + push.
+
+Or **rsync** once:
+
+```bash
+rsync -avz vpsadmin@YOUR_VPS:/home/vpsadmin/AgentOS/ ./AgentOS-Vault/
+```
+
+## Option B — Syncthing
+
+1. Install Syncthing on laptop + VPS (user-level, no root).  
+2. Share `/home/vpsadmin/AgentOS` ↔ local `AgentOS-Vault`.  
+3. Open the local folder in Obsidian.  
+4. Avoid editing the same note on both sides at once.
+
+## What not to do
+
+- Don’t keep a separate vault on the laptop that Leonard never sees.  
+- Don’t put secrets in synced markdown.  
+- Don’t use iCloud-only without a VPS-visible path.
+
+## Env on VPS (Hermes)
+
+```bash
+OBSIDIAN_VAULT_PATH=/home/vpsadmin/AgentOS
+```
