Obsidian Static File Server

It allows you to host obsidian subfolders as static file servers.

Why?

• Embed websites in your vault that work offline
• Embed websites with CORS issues
• Access your vault files from other applications

Demonstration

Getting Started

1. Install the plugin
2. Make a folder in your vault
3. Put some files in the folder
4. Open Static File Server Settings and enter the name of the folder and a port number.
5. You can now display the files in an iframe
   • For example, a file called example.html could be accessed with
     <iframe src="http://localhost:1337/example.html"/>

FAQ

• How could I visit the website like you did in GIF?
