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):

   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:

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.
