I'm curious what the host machine for the Docker container is? Is it a headless server or something with a desktop/window manager?
Been looking to set up the Obsidian Docker container but I presently only run headless, so it sounds like a headache.
Most of these containers don't require any thing attached to the host - it can work headless. They are docker (just normal Linux inside) containers which are running processes such as Firefox and usually run something like KasmVNC giving fast, responsive (if using high bandwidth settings) remote desktop into the containers which runs the Firefox browser on a lightweight virtual desktop with a virtual display. I'd recommend looking into the concept from linuxserver.io's Webtop container to understand the concept (and how cool they are!) In your case with obsidian they pretty much run a container and pass a bind mount for a Vault. This isn't synced by default with anything but you could use Syncthing on the host to sync your vault from other devices or use Obsidian Sync.
Thanks for the reply. I've tried both Firefox and Obsidian containers from Linuxserver.io before, but when connecting I found there was no output. It made me wonder what was missing (like X11 or Wayland installed on the host) for an output to be generated.
