Possibility for headless syncing with a CLI/daemon

Use case or problem

I’d like to work with my notes on machines where I don’t want to or can’t run the full Obsidian app, but could run a background daemon that keeps my vault synced.

Proposed solution

Provide a standalone Obsidian Sync daemon that can be run as a background service (ideally via a simple CLI that can be managed by systemd on Linux).

Current workaround

The obvious workaround is to use a different service for syncing (Dropbox, Syncthing, etc.). Those are great, but I like Obsidian Sync a lot! I’m happy to pay for it and use it and would be even happier with it if I could run it without the full Obsidian app.
