Good afternoon!
I’m very new with obsidian, my first daily note was 2025/07/06. And I think I’ve come up with a very interesting way to automatically generate my daily note file every morning.
Every morning at about 0400 local time crontab runs a PHP script that generates my daily note file. I have it scraping different data and different prompts including weather, forecasts, phases of the Moon, quotes of the day, and some writing prompts of the day.
The PHP script uploads the file to Amazon S3 where I’m using as the repository for remotely save.
Then as I fire up obsidian every morning, the new daily note shows up and I have all my places to put everything from work to personal to Civic organizations etc etc
Having this standard prompting script with a lot of the things I want to try to keep an eye on dumped into that daily note, it’s made obsidian and integral part of my day. Frankly, I would have never used obsidian if I didn’t have this.
It leads me to a couple questions.
-
are you doing anything similar?
-
is the official sync service offered through obsidian using Amazon S3? Is it possible to upload to it outside of obsidian, or does it only allow from the official obsidian app?
-
are you using any third-party scripting from any kind of VPS or other system where you don’t have obsidian installed to create content for obsidian other than what I’ve mentioned?
Many thanks,
And I look forward to becoming an asset to the obsidian community.
