# 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)
