🛰️ Obsidian Platform Dashboard

A private Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) inspired observability dashboard built for Obsidian.

This repository contains a collection of dataviewjs scripts designed to transform an Obsidian vault into a Dashboard for home server monitoring, personal productivity, and environmental tracking.

🛠️ The Architecture

The dashboard follows a Headless Architecture model:

Data Layer: A Raspberry Pi 3B (The "Milford Node") running Dockerized services (Syncthing, Go-based APIs).
Transport Layer: Local network requests (or via Tailscale for remote access).
Presentation Layer: Obsidian using the dataview plugin to render real-time telemetry.

🚀 Featured Monitors

Syncthing Node Observer (`syncthing-node.js`)

Monitors the uptime and health of the primary synchronization node on the Milford Node.

Features: Real-time uptime calculation, status color-coding, and connection error handling.
Tech: JavaScript, REST API integration, Tailwind-inspired Inline Styling.

Novel Writing Progress Monitor (`novel-progress-monitor.js`)

Visualizes creative throughput and project milestones for long-form writing.

Features: Automatic word counts based on file size, progress bars that update as you write, and tracking for how many notes were scanned.
Tech: JavaScript, File System API, Tailwind-inspired Inline Styling.

Weather & Barometric Sentinel ('pressure-sentinel.js')

Visualizes real-time envrionment telemetry and atmospheric trends for proactive health management.

Features: Dynamic pressure trend analysis (ΔP), color-coded threshold alerts for migraine/sinus triggers, and UTC to Local time normalization.
Tech: JavaScript, SQLite, Open-Meteo API, Tailwind-inspired Inline Styling

Trail Readiness Sentinel (Coming Soon!)

Correlates biometric data with physical conditioning goals for high-altitude trekking.

Features: Real-time stamina calculation, elevation gain tracking, and recovery to effort ratios.
Tech: Go, Fitbit Web API (OAuth2), DataviewJS

📦 Installation & Setup

Prerequisites: - Obsidian
- Dataview Plugin (Enable "Allow JavaScript Queries" in settings).
Deployment:
- Copy the desired script from the monitors/ folder.
- Create a new note in Obsidian.
- Paste the code inside a dataviewjs code block.
Configuration:
- Update the config object at the top of each script to match your local paths and API keys.

🧠 Why I Built This

As a Platform Engineer in training, I believe that personal tools should be as robust as production systems. This project practices:

API Integration: Handling authentication and JSON parsing in a decoupled environment.
Systems Observability: Monitoring hardware and project health via customized dashboards.
Documentation: Maintaining a clear "Standard Operating Procedure" (SOP) for my personal knowledge management system.
