Sync Notes on persistent Mac Mini

What I’m trying to do

I’m running Codex over my project on a mac mini. The goal is this will act as a satellite device to work with AI in my vault across my laptop and phone, plus give me access to automations and what not.

What I’m running into is even when Codex can access the mac mini from my phone the files in the vault are not syncing to the project for any changes I’ve made. I have to keep returning to my mac mini to sync the files.

Things I have tried

I made it so the display on my mac mini never turns off and prevent automatic sleeping when display is off is enabled. I switch the display on my monitor to my laptop or turn it off so the display is not always running.

This there something I’m missing that’s impacting the vault sync with Obsidian’s sync?

P.S. I’m not using something like iCloud because I also use an android tablet.

Is Obsidian, the app, open on the mac mini? Obsidian Sync (the official service) will only run with Obsidian and that sync’d vault open.

Yes it’s open on the mac mini, but not syncing unless I’m on it. I’m looking to have the mac mini run all the time with it and Codex open so the automations can create and edit files
