Team Relay
EVC Team Relay
Self-hosted real-time collaboration and web publishing for Obsidian.
Edit together. Publish to the web. Keep your data on your server.
The Problem
Obsidian is great for personal notes. But when your team needs to collaborate:
- Obsidian Sync has no real-time collab and costs $8/user/month
- Notion/Confluence means leaving Obsidian and losing your workflow
- Git-based sync means merge conflicts on every concurrent edit
- Obsidian Publish is $8/month with limited customization and no access control
You want your team in Obsidian, editing together, publishing docs — without giving up data control.
The Solution
EVC Team Relay is self-hosted infrastructure that adds real-time collaboration and web publishing to Obsidian. CRDT-based, local-first, fully under your control.
Features
Real-time Collaboration
- Live editing — CRDT-based sync via y-sweet (Yjs), no merge conflicts
- Offline-first — edit without connection, sync seamlessly when back online
- Folder sharing — share entire folders with viewer/editor permissions
Web Publishing
- Publish notes to the web — internal wiki, client portal, or public docs
- Access control — public, protected (link + token), or private (authenticated)
- Custom domains —
docs.yourdomain.com - Live preview — see your published site at https://docs.entire.vc/team-relay/Demo/ (example)
Enterprise Ready
- Authentication — OAuth/OIDC, email/password, 2FA
- Audit logs — who did what and when
- Webhooks — integrate with your automation
- Monitoring — Prometheus metrics + Grafana dashboards
- Docker Compose — one command to deploy
