## Talk first

> **Stop.** Don't read Reference until we've talked.
> In chat, say **"let's do TB-005"** or **"obsidian / couchdb hardening"**.

**In one sentence:** Your whole PKM vault syncs over a public URL — let's decide how exposed you're okay with.

**Why it came up:** obsidian.ginnoir.com has no LAN-only or SSO gate; LiveSync needs remote access from phones.

### Questions

1. Do you sync Obsidian from your phone without Tailscale always on?
2. Would 'Tailscale only' work, or do you need public access?
3. Authentik login in front — okay if we test LiveSync still works?

### Your options

| Option | Meaning |
|--------|---------|
| **Do it** | We're doing this — I'll implement or walk you through it |
| **Later** | Keep on the list, not now |
| **Drop** | Remove from plan — totally fine |
| **Tweak** | Change scope; tell me how |

### Stack / files

Caddyfile, stacks/notes/

### If we do it — rough steps

1. Pick model: Tailscale-only, Authentik, or hybrid
2. Implement + test sync from each device
3. Rotate CouchDB password

### Done when

- [ ] You can still sync where you need to
- [ ] Admin/_utils not wide open
