It's been about two months since I [switched](https://srsbsns.lol/is-silverbullet-the-note-keeping-silver-bullet/) my note-keeping efforts from [Obsidian](https://obsidian.md) to [SilverBullet](https://silverbullet.md/), and I've been really enjoying it. Being able to access and write my notes from any device with a web browser has been super convenient, and SilverBullet is packed with useful features (and easily extensible to add new ones) without feeling slow, bloated, or otherwise cumbersome. The container-based setup is also [easy to deploy](/silverbullet-self-hosted-knowledge-management/).

It's been about two months since I [switched](https://srsbsns.lol/is-silverbullet-the-note-keeping-silver-bullet/) my note-keeping efforts from [Obsidian](https://obsidian.md) to [SilverBullet](https://silverbullet.md/), and I've been really enjoying it.

But one use case I hadn't yet migrated from Obsidian to SilverBullet was managing the notes I share publicly at [notes.runtimeterror.dev](https://notes.runtimeterror.dev) using [Quartz](https://quartz.jzhao.xyz/). I had set this up using a [public repo](https://github.com/jbowdre/notes/tree/867dde54f8a72d2d04bac140a4c54e64dd0f569b) containing the Quartz code with a dedicated (public) Obsidian vault folder [embedded within](https://github.com/jbowdre/notes/tree/867dde54f8a72d2d04bac140a4c54e64dd0f569b/content). Since the contents are just Markdown files I *could* simply edit them directly and cut out Obsidian altogether, but I could see myself struggling to keep up with the links between notes if I was editing them manually. I really wanted to find a way to use SilverBullet for my published notes too.
|
||||
But one use case I hadn't yet migrated from Obsidian to SilverBullet was managing the notes I share publicly at [notes.runtimeterror.dev](https://notes.runtimeterror.dev) using [Quartz](https://quartz.jzhao.xyz/), a fancy static site generator optimized for building "digital gardens" from Obsidian vaults. I had been using Quartz with a [public repo](https://github.com/jbowdre/notes/tree/867dde54f8a72d2d04bac140a4c54e64dd0f569b) containing the Quartz code with a dedicated (public) Obsidian vault folder [embedded within](https://github.com/jbowdre/notes/tree/867dde54f8a72d2d04bac140a4c54e64dd0f569b/content).
|
||||
|
||||
I played a bit with SilverBullet's [publishing plugin](https://silverbullet.md/Plugs/Pub), which would let me selectively publish notes in certain folders or bearing certain tags, but the HTML it produces is a bit sparse. I didn't want to give up the Quartz niceties like the auto-generated navigation menu and built-in search.

|

### Plugging in the Git plug
|
||||
SilverBullet can be extended through the use of [plugs](https://silverbullet.md/Plugs), and installing the [Git plug](https://silverbullet.md/Plugs/Git) should make it easy to sync my SilverBullet content to a private GitHub repo.
|
||||
|
||||
But I should probably initialize my space (the SilverBullet equivalent of a vault/notebook/graph) as a git repo first.
|
||||
|
||||
Recall from my [setup notes](/silverbullet-self-hosted-knowledge-management/#silverbullet-setup) that I'm mounting a folder named `./space` into my SilverBullet container at `/space`. I'll need to turn that into a git repo so I SSH to my Docker host, move into the folder containing my SilverBullet space, and initialize the repo:
|
||||
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
cd /opt/silverbullet/space # [tl! .cmd:1]
|
||||
git init .
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
I'll connect this local git repo to a private GitHub repo, but I'll need to use a [Personal Access Token (PAT)](https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/keeping-your-account-and-data-secure/managing-your-personal-access-tokens) for the git interactions since the Git plug running inside the SilverBullet container won't have access to my SSH private key. So I [create a new PAT](https://github.com/settings/personal-access-tokens/new), scope it only to my new private repo (`jbowdre/spaaace`), and grant it the `contents: write` permission there. I can then use the PAT when I set up the remote and push my first commit:
|
||||
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
git remote add origin https://github_pat_[...]@github.com/jbowdre/spaaace.git # [tl! .cmd:3]
|
||||
git add .
|
||||
git commit -m "initial commit"
|
||||
git push --set-upstream origin main
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This stores the authentication token directly inside the local git configuration (in `/opt/silverbullet/space/.git/config`) so that git operations performed within the container will be automatically authenticated.
|
||||
|
||||
Now that my repo is ready, I can go ahead and install and configure the Git plug. I do that by logging into my SilverBullet instance on the web (`https://silverbullet.tailnet-name.ts.net`), pressing `[Ctrl]` + `/` to bring up the command palette, typing/selecting `Plugs: Add`, and pasting in the URI for the Git plug: `github:silverbulletmd/silverbullet-git/git.plug.js`.
|
||||
|
||||
The docs say that I can add the following to my `SETTINGS` file to enable automatic syncing:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
git:
|
||||
autoCommitMinutes: 5
|
||||
autoSync: true
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
But that doesn't actually seem to work for some reason (at least for me). That's okay, though, because I can easily add a keyboard shortcut (`[Ctrl]` + `[Alt]` + `.`) to quickly sync on-demand:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
shortcuts:
|
||||
- command: "{[Git: Sync]}"
|
||||
key: "Ctrl-Alt-."
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
{{% notice note "Brace for it..." %}}
|
||||
Note that the command target for the shortcut is wrapped with a square bracket wrapped with a curly brace (`{[ ]}`). It won't work if you do a Go-template-style double-curly-braces (`{{ }}`).
|
||||
|
||||
*Ask me how I know (and how long it took me to find my mistake!).*
|
||||
{{% /notice %}}
|
||||
|
||||
I'll use `[Ctrl]` + `/` to get the command pallette again and run `System: Reload` to activate my change, and then simply pressing `[Ctrl]` + `[Alt]` + `.` will trigger a `git pull` + `git commit` + `git push` (as needed) sequence.
|
||||
|
||||
That takes care of getting my SilverBullet content into GitHub. Now let's see how it gets published.
|
||||
|
||||
### Setting up Quartz
|
||||
"Installing" Quartz is pretty straight forward thanks to the instructions on the [Quartz website](https://quartz.jzhao.xyz/). I just ran these commands on my laptop:
|
||||
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
git clone https://github.com/jackyzha0/quartz.git # [tl! .cmd:3]
|
||||
cd quartz
|
||||
npm i
|
||||
npx quartz create
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
By default, Quartz expects my Obsidian content to be in the `content/` directory (and there's a placeholder file there for now). I'll replace that with my `spaaace` repo for testing but also add that path to the `.gitignore` file to ensure I don't accidentally commit my private notes:
|
||||
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
rm -rf content/ # [tl! .cmd:2]
|
||||
git clone git@github.com:jbowdre/spaaace.git content
|
||||
echo "content" >> .gitignore
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
From there I can move on to configuring Quartz. The [documentation](https://quartz.jzhao.xyz/configuration) has helpful information on some of the configuration options so I'm just going to highlight the changes that are particularly important to this specific setup.
|
||||
|
||||
In the `plugins:` section of `quartz.config.ts`, I enable the [`ExplicitPublish` filter plugin](https://quartz.jzhao.xyz/plugins/ExplicitPublish) to tell Quartz to only render pages with `publish: true` in the frontmatter:
|
||||
|
||||
```ts
|
||||
plugins: {
|
||||
filters: [
|
||||
Plugin.RemoveDrafts(),
|
||||
Plugin.ExplicitPublish(), // [tl! ++]
|
||||
],
|
||||
[...]
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
That will allow me very granular control over which posts are published (and which remain private), but the [Private Pages](https://quartz.jzhao.xyz/features/private-pages) Quartz documentation page warns that the `ExplicitPublish` plugin only filters out Markdown files. All other files (images, PDFs, plain TXTs) will still be processed and served publicly. I don't intend to include screenshots or other media with these short code-heavy notes so I scroll back up in the `quartz.config.ts` file and add a little regex to the `ignorePatterns` section:
|
||||
|
||||
```ts
|
||||
configuration: {
|
||||
ignorePatterns: [
|
||||
"private",
|
||||
"templates",
|
||||
"**/!(*.md)" // [tl! ++]
|
||||
],
|
||||
[...]
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
That will avoid processing any non-Markdown files.
|
||||
|
||||
The rest of the Quartz setup follows the documentation, including the steps to [connect my (public) GitHub repository](https://quartz.jzhao.xyz/setting-up-your-GitHub-repository).
|
||||
|
||||
Before publishing, I can check my work by generating and serving the Quartz content locally:
|
||||
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
npx quartz build --serve # [tl! .cmd ** .nocopy:1,13]
|
||||
|
||||
Quartz v4.4.0
|
||||
|
||||
Cleaned output directory `public` in 29ms
|
||||

|
||||

|
||||

||||

|
||||

|
||||

|
||||

|
||||
Started a Quartz server listening at http://localhost:8080
|
||||
hint: exit with ctrl+c
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Oops! Remember how the `ExplicitPublish` plugin will only process notes with `publish: true` set in the frontmatter? Since I just imported the notes from my (public) Obsidian vault into SilverBullet none of them have that attribute set yet. (But hey, this is a great way to test that my filters work!)
|
||||
|
||||
Let me run through the notes I want to be public and update them accordingly...
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
```markdown
|
||||
---
|
||||
title: Trigger remote workflow with GitHub Actions
|
||||
tags: [github]
|
||||
publish: true # [tl! ++]
|
||||
---
|
||||
...
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
And then I'll try again:
|
||||
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
npx quartz build --serve # [tl! .cmd ** .nocopy:1,11]
|
||||
|
||||
Quartz v4.4.0
|
||||
|
||||
Cleaned output directory `public` in 6ms
|
||||

|
||||

|
||||
Filtered out 123 files in 404μs
|
||||
Emitted 130 files to `public` in 497ms
|
||||

|
||||
Started a Quartz server listening at http://localhost:8080 # [tl! **]
|
||||
hint: exit with ctrl+c
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
That's more like it!
|
||||
|
||||
![A webpage served at http://localhost:8080/ titled "A note about my notes" includes a short post describing the use of Quartz and SilverBullet for organizing scripts and references. Categories like "ChromeOS" and "Linux" are listed in the left-hand navigation panel.](localhost.jpg)
|
||||
|
||||
But serving my notes from my laptop is only *so* useful. Let's keep going and see what it takes to publish them on the World Wide Web!
|
||||
|
||||
### Publish publicly
|
||||
I've previously written about my [GitHub Actions workflow for publishing my Gemini capsule](/gemini-capsule-gempost-github-actions/#publish-github-actions), and I'm going to reuse a lot of the same ideas here. I'll create a workflow that performs the steps needed to render the HTML to the `public/` directory, establishes a [Tailscale](https://tailscale.com/) tunnel to my server, and transfers the rendered content there. Those static files will then be served with [Caddy](https://caddyserver.com/), taking advantage of its automatic HTTPS abilities.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Server prep
|
||||
The setup on the server is pretty simple. I just create a directory to hold the files, and make sure it's owned by the `deploy` user:
|
||||
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
sudo mkdir /opt/notes # [tl! .cmd:1]
|
||||
sudo chown -R deploy:deploy /opt/notes
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
I'll also go ahead and update my Caddyfile based on the [Quartz documentation](https://quartz.jzhao.xyz/hosting#using-caddy), but I won't reload Caddy just yet (I'll wait until I have some content to serve):
|
||||
|
||||
```Caddyfile
|
||||
notes.runtimeterror.dev {
|
||||
bind 192.0.2.1 # replace with server's public interface address
|
||||
root * /opt/notes/public
|
||||
try_files {path} {path}.html {path}/ =404
|
||||
file_server
|
||||
encode gzip
|
||||
|
||||
handle_errors {
|
||||
rewrite * /{err.status_code}.html
|
||||
file_server
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Tailscale prep
|
||||
The full details of how I configured Tailscale to support this deploy-from-github-actions use case are [available in another post](/gemini-capsule-gempost-github-actions/#tailscale-configuration) so I won't repeat the explanation here. But these are the items I added to my Tailscale ACL to create a set of tags (one for the GitHub runner, one for the server it will deploy to), allow SSH traffic from the runner to the server, and configure [Tailscale SSH](/tailscale-ssh-serve-funnel/#tailscale-ssh) to let the runner log in to the server as the `deploy` user:
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"tagOwners": {
|
||||
"tag:gh-bld": ["group:admins"], // github builder
|
||||
"tag:gh-srv": ["group:admins"], // server it can deploy to
|
||||
},
|
||||
"acls": [
|
||||
{
|
||||
// github runner can talk to the deployment target
|
||||
"action": "accept",
|
||||
"users": ["tag:gh-bld"],
|
||||
"ports": [
|
||||
"tag:gh-srv:22"
|
||||
],
|
||||
}
|
||||
],
|
||||
"ssh": [
|
||||
{
|
||||
// runner can SSH to the server as the 'deploy' user
|
||||
"action": "accept",
|
||||
"src": ["tag:gh-bld"],
|
||||
"dst": ["tag:gh-srv"],
|
||||
"users": ["deploy"],
|
||||
}
|
||||
],
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Workin' on a workflow
|
||||
With the prep out of the way, I'm ready to start on my deployment workflow.
|
||||
|
||||
My `.github/workflows/deploy.yaml` starts simply with just setting some defaults, and it configures the workflow to run on pushes to the default branch (`v4`), [`repository_dispatch` events](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/writing-workflows/choosing-when-your-workflow-runs/events-that-trigger-workflows#repository_dispatch), and `workflow_dispatch` events (manual executions).
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
# torchlight! {"lineNumbers":true}
|
||||
name: Deploy Notes
|
||||
|
||||
# run on changes to default (v4) branch, repository_dispatch events, and manual executions
|
||||
on:
|
||||
push:
|
||||
branches:
|
||||
- v4
|
||||
repository_dispatch:
|
||||
workflow_dispatch:
|
||||
|
||||
concurrency: # prevent concurrent deploys doing strange things
|
||||
group: deploy
|
||||
cancel-in-progress: false
|
||||
|
||||
# Default to bash
|
||||
defaults:
|
||||
run:
|
||||
shell: bash
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The `deploy` job then starts with [checking out](https://github.com/actions/checkout/tree/v4/) the repo where the job is running [*and* the private repo](https://github.com/actions/checkout/tree/v4/?tab=readme-ov-file#checkout-multiple-repos-private) holding my SilverBullet space, which gets cloned to the `content/` directory.
|
||||
|
||||
To be able to fetch the private `jbowdre/spaaace` repo, I'll needed to generate another PAT scoped to that repo. This one only needs read access (no write) to the contents of the repo. The PAT and the repo path get stored as repository secrets.
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
# torchlight! {"lineNumbers": true, "lineNumbersStart": 20}
|
||||
jobs:
|
||||
deploy:
|
||||
name: Build and deploy Quartz site
|
||||
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
|
||||
steps:
|
||||
- name: Checkout Quartz
|
||||
uses: actions/checkout@v4
|
||||
- name: Checkout notes
|
||||
uses: actions/checkout@v4
|
||||
with:
|
||||
repository: ${{ secrets.SPAAACE_REPO }}
|
||||
token: ${{ secrets.SPAAACE_REPO_PAT }}
|
||||
path: content
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
I can then move on to installing Node and building the Quartz site:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
# torchlight! {"lineNumbers":true, "lineNumbersStart": 33}
|
||||
- name: Setup Node
|
||||
uses: actions/setup-node@v4
|
||||
with:
|
||||
node-version: 20
|
||||
- name: Build Quartz
|
||||
run: |
|
||||
npm ci
|
||||
npx quartz build
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
I use the [Tailscale GitHub Action](https://tailscale.com/kb/1276/tailscale-github-action) to connect the ephemeral GitHub runner to my tailnet, and apply that ACL tag that grants it SSH access to my web server (and nothing else).
|
||||
|
||||
I've also stored that web server's SSH public key as a repository secret, and I make sure that gets added to the runner's `~/.ssh/known_hosts` file so that it can connect without being prompted to verify the host keys.
|
||||
|
||||
Finally, I use `rsync` to copy the `public/` directory (with all the rendered HTML content) to `/opt/notes/` on the server.
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
# torchlight! {"lineNumbers":true, "lineNumbersStart":41}
|
||||
- name: Connect to Tailscale
|
||||
uses: tailscale/github-action@v2
|
||||
with:
|
||||
oauth-client-id: ${{ secrets.TS_API_CLIENT_ID }}
|
||||
oauth-secret: ${{ secrets.TS_API_CLIENT_SECRET }}
|
||||
tags: ${{ secrets.TS_TAG }}
|
||||
- name: Configure SSH known hosts
|
||||
run: |
|
||||
mkdir -p ~/.ssh
|
||||
echo "${{ secrets.SSH_KNOWN_HOSTS }}" > ~/.ssh/known_hosts
|
||||
chmod 644 ~/.ssh/known_hosts
|
||||
- name: Deploy Quartz
|
||||
run: |
|
||||
rsync -avz --delete -e ssh public/ deploy@${{ secrets.QUARTZ_HOST }}:${{ secrets.QUARTZ_CONTENT_PATH }}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
After making sure that I've added all the required repository secrets, I can commit and push my code and it *should* trigger the deployment...
|
||||
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
git add . # [tl! .cmd:2]
|
||||
git commit -m "deployment test"
|
||||
git push
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
![A GitHub "Actions" tab for the repository "notes" shows the "Deploy Notes" workflow. A successful "deployment test" is listed.](deploy_success.jpg)
|
||||
|
||||
And I can log back onto my server and confirm that the content is there:
|
||||
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
ls -l /opt/notes/public/ # [tl! .cmd .nocopy:1,17]

Now that I've got some content I can reload Caddy:
|
||||
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
sudo caddy reload -c /etc/caddy/Caddyfile # [tl! .cmd .nocopy:1,2]
|
||||
2024/09/29 19:11:17.705 INFO using config from file {"file": "/etc/caddy/Caddyfile"}
|
||||
2024/09/29 19:11:17.715 INFO adapted config to JSON {"adapter": "caddyfile"}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
And check to see if the site is up:
|
||||
|
||||
![A webpage served at https://notes.runtimeterror.dev titled "A note about my notes" includes a short post describing the use of Quartz and SilverBullet for organizing scripts and references. Categories like "ChromeOS" and "Linux" are listed in the left-hand navigation panel.](online.jpg)

||||
|
||||
Nice, my notes are online!
|
||||
|
||||
### Trigger workflow
|
||||
The last piece of this puzzle is to trigger the deployment workflow whenever my SilverBullet notes get synced to that private repo. Fortunately I [have a note](https://notes.runtimeterror.dev/CICD/Trigger-remote-workflow-with-GitHub-Actions) that describes how to do that.
|
||||
|
||||
I'll set up yet *another* GitHub PAT, this one scoped to the `jbowdre/notes` public repo with permissions to write to the repository contents. Then I just need a workflow in the private `jbowdre/spaaace` repo to make a `POST` to `https://api.github.com/repos/jbowdre/notes/dispatches` whenever a Markdown file is created/updated.
|
||||
|
||||
Here's `.github/workflows/trigger.yaml`:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
# torchlight! {"lineNumbers":true}
|
||||
name: Trigger Quartz Build
|
||||
|
||||
on:
|
||||
push:
|
||||
paths:
|
||||
- "**.md"
|
||||
|
||||
defaults:
|
||||
run:
|
||||
shell: bash
|
||||
|
||||
jobs:
|
||||
publish:
|
||||
name: Trigger
|
||||
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
|
||||
steps:
|
||||
- name: Remote trigger
|
||||
run: |
|
||||
curl -X POST \
|
||||
-H "Authorization: token ${{ secrets.NOTES_REPO_PAT }}" \
|
||||
-H "Accept: application/vnd.github.v3+json" \
|
||||
https://api.github.com/repos/${{ secrets.NOTES_REPO }}/dispatches \
|
||||
-d '{"event_type": "remote-trigger"}'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Once I commit and push this, any future changes to a markdown file will tell the GitHub API to kick off the remote workflow in the public repo.
|
||||

||||

|
||||
|
||||
### Conclusion
|
||||
And that's it! I can now write and publish short notes from *anywhere* thanks to the SilverBullet web app, Quartz, and some GitHub Actions shenanigans. This was a little more work to set up on the front end but my new publishing workflow couldn't be simpler: just write a note and hit `[Ctrl]` + `[Alt]` + `.` to sync the change to the private GitHub repo and kick off the deployment.

||||

*Now I don't have an excuse to keep sitting on this backlog of quick notes I've been meaning to share...*
