Set up your proxy to host the website so it is available on the internet.

On your docker server:
Install Couch DB on docker with the following docker-compose file.

Docker-compose.yml file

services:
  couchdb-obsidian-livesync:
    restart: always
    container_name: couchdb-obsidian-livesync
    image: 'docker.io/oleduc/docker-obsidian-livesync-couchdb:master'
    ports:
      - '5984:5984'
    environment:
	  - COUCHDB_DATABASE=obsidian
	  - COUCHDB_PASSWORD=tw9222dvO91ZHb
	  - COUCHDB_USER=miker
	  - SERVER_DOMAIN=https://obsidian.mikemcfetridge.com
	volumes:
	  - ./data:/opt/couchdb/data

Once the container starts, you can validate that it is install and running by going to the following link

https://obsidian.mikemcfetridge.com/_utils

Once you verified that the DB is up and running, you will need to log into the container:

Docker exec -it {Container name} /bin/bash

Run the following command


export hostname=https://obsidian.mikemcfetridge.com #Point to your vault

export database=obsidian #Please change as you like

export passphrase=7ixpCPi5OEDF6J #Please change as you like

export username=miker

export password=tw9222dvO91ZHb

deno run -A https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vrtmrz/obsidian-livesync/main/utils/flyio/generate_setupuri.ts

This should provide you with an output like below:

Your passphrase of Setup-URI is: small-pine #This passphrase is never shown again, so please note it in a safe place.
