After reading How to Build a Second Brain by Tiago Forte, I realized just how valuable my ideas are-and I needed a way to share them with the world. It starts with Obsidian for note-taking and organizing my thoughts, then Hugo formats everything into a beautiful website. From there, GitHub takes care of versioning, and finally, a webhook publishes it all seamlessly to Hostinger. In this video, I’ll walk you through how I built this pipeline and how you can create your own blog to share your ideas with the world. ✍📚 Read my blog: blog.networkchuck.com/ 📃📃📃Link/Guide/Documentation: blog.networkchuck.com/posts/my-insane-blog-pipeline/ 🔥🔥Join the NetworkChuck Academy!: ntck.co/NCAcademy **Sponsored by Hostinger TIMESTAMPS: 0:00 - Why I’m creating a blog 2:39 - Blogging Pipeline 4:51 - Writing your blog in Obsidian 6:05 - Formatting with Hugo 9:08 - Installing Hugo Themes 12:02 - Syncing Obsidian with Hugo 14:21 - Using Frontmatter in Obsidian 15:28 - Handling Images in Obsidian 18:58 - Pushing your site to GitHub 24:37 - Setting up domain in Hostinger 28:16 - Showing the manual workflow 30:14 - The Mega Script
That might explain, why he is always soooo annoying hectic and nervous and fidgety and twitchy and agitated… Awful! The topics are interestig but it's impossible to learn something from his videos. He's rushing through and skipping all the explanations one needed to understand, what he's doing…
For the images, you can just change your settings in Obsidian to automatically place them in the folder you specify. Just go to Settings > Files and Links > Default location for new attachments
Hi you are right its the vault folder , but when I run the script the original image will be removed from the markdown and yet will not be showed in the website , just the image link, did you know how to solve that././
I rarely comment on videos - but i just wanna tell you how much respect i have for you. It ofcourse started as a "Im learning about this subject, and this cool dude with a nice beard a nice video about it" but now i watch most of your videoes simply because youre so positivy and full of energy. I have so much respect for you!
I've currently been self teaching myself web development and was already in the process of working on my own blog using CMS for practice. This video came at a great time where I've been slowing down on that project and losing motivation. This looks absolutely up my alley and I will be working on it soon
Long time I.T. guy here. Always amazes me when someone like you comes along and can show even us old "Boomers" some new and great ideas. Just set up mine. Went with a little more "complex" of a theme, so it took me a little longer, but all worked out in the end. Thanks for everything you do. Looking forward to many more.
In case anyone else uses putty. Ran into an issue with the SSH Key. Would not use it to authenticate. Need Pageant.exe running when I run the script. Added the following to get it working in my Windows system. Environmental Variable GIT_SSH = C:\Program Files\PuTTY\plink.exe Then add the following to the script. # Set path for SSH key $sshKeyPath = "C:\Users\%USERNAME%\.ssh\id_rsa.ppk" # Start Pageant and add the SSH key Write-Host "Starting Pageant and adding SSH key..." Start-Process "C:\Program Files\PuTTY\pageant.exe" -ArgumentList $sshKeyPath # Wait for Pageant to load the key Start-Sleep -Seconds 2
@@MatchburnLuxI am a windows guy, so I can only help with windows. Make sure that you have the Hugo directory in the "System" path and not the "User" path in the environmental variables. While you do need to restart the terminal after the path entry is saved, I find it helpful if I am having some weird issue that I can not understand happen to me to just FULLY log out or even restart and log back in.
Maybe an odd thing to complement but I love your squiggles. I always struggle to take notes and underline inside of my books, from a odd feeling that books are a treasure, I shouldn't ruin. I try to break the habit and start doing it. You showing that it does not need to be perfect, and that you are allowed and can smudge the underlining really inspired me and help me to kick my misguided habit
I have always felt the same. But I am learning to make these experiences my own. I also think maybe someday down the road someone else reads the book and in seeing my notes, finds something special to them
I watched this video over and over, because it's very useful information. Great timing as well, I needed to update my personal sites, and this is an amazing way of doing it. WAAAAYYYY easier to edit the content in Obsidian and automate the deploy pipeline this way than how I was previously doing it. Big thanks for making a video on this!
Just wanted to say this video is excellent! A lot of tech tutorials are often light on the details, hours long, or miss important mechanical details that are outside the code (I love how you showed the part where you connected Hostinger to Github, that's something a lot of other people would have just skipped but including it makes this feel much less ambiguous). Great job!
Chuck, OMG, this is the most brilliant idea you have ever expressed here! Thank you so much for sharing this. I already use Obsidian and I am going to use it as a 2nd brain for cybersecurity, coding, and product design. The thing that I was kind of dreading was the whole publishing thing. I know that Obsidian offers their own way to publish my second brain, but I wanted to make it more special. Thanks to you, I now have a new cool project to work on when I have learned enough coding to make it happen. Thanks!!
the algorithm is really crazy! I didn't watch any "blog related" videos for the past months but I just started (restarted) my blog few hours ago and this video pops up! I like it! 🤣
I love and appreciate when you leave in the parts where it went wrong, where you forgot a stage. Gonna have to try obsidian now, as I'm a big fan of text/md based notes format
Most excellent, brave demo and walk-through. I am truly inspired to repeat this pipeline. Love the uncensored, comic enthusiasm. Guess I'll be touring some of you other content! Carry On!
There is always a story for some one. This is so true. You can defnatly benifit others by sharing. Awesome your learning another lang. I wish you the best. thanks for inspiring all of us on YT land.
good stuff Mister Chuck. It's a valuable point that we may not think what we have to contribute will add value to an already over-crowded conversation, but there is someone(s) out needing to hear an idea in a way that can only come from our individual perspective. 🙂
I've recorded more than 15 hours of Obsidian walkthroughs on the channel. I love that program with passion. It is the core of my entire [awesome] life. Glad to see you're a convert, too. 🙏
A suggestion: instead of starting robocopy after each change you can create a symbolic link for obsidian folder in the Hugo directory. Then any change in obsidian will be visible immediately in Hugo folder.
I originally started a Blog on Medium to Monetize it but as I showered I realized too. That I could provide valuable insights on my perspectives to my family and kids when they grow up and if they're we're curious on how my Mind State is. Part of a legacy. Things I would like to pass down.
Could you elaborate on this please? I have git plugin for Obsidian which I use to backup the vault. But I don't know what you meant by precommit hook and using set -e.
Great video. On a similar note, there's Quartz, an open-source version of Obsidian Publish. I use v3 (which uses Hugo). But it is not building a blog, but the second brain based on your Obsidian, with all backlinks and graph views. Besides blogs, you can also share notes (if that is something you like, similar to a second brain).
Instead of doing robocopy all the time, you can make a symlink between those two folders. on windows (as powershell admin): New-Item -Path -ItemType SymbolicLink -Value
Hey brother, thank you for posting this, I've been sitting on a ton of thoughts and ideas, and have been wanting to finally put my thoughts into a blog. I appreciate this super-easy guide. I use obsidian for my D&D games, so it's comfortable using for this stuff too, and I've used hugo in the past as well, so you ticked all the boxes I needed. Hope you have a happy holidays!
Recently, I’ve been interested in writing what I have done to my home lab and share it as an experience and tutorial in a form of pdf or blog. After watching your video, I may not be using your approach to write blogs. But it is definitely a good motivation to make me write more.
Hugo is great! I use it to showcase the thesis works of our students every year. It takes less than 0.5 seconds to generate like 500 pages. Also great for archiving
Funnily I got really serious about blogging this year to journal what I've learned! Currently using good old WordPress as my back-end, can't complain! I then posted my first TH-cam video also recently because people saw my blog and asked me to do video-form content of my blog!
I still wanna meet this guy cause this i literally some of what has been going on in my head and I've made some starts but had the hardest time fleshing them out.
@@k_469 It's counter part of your private key (what you never show to anybody). Public key is something what anybody can use to crypt things, but cannot decrypt, because only private key can decrypt thing what has been crypted with public key. Sounds strange, I know. It's like open door what you can close, but can't open without right key.
Hey @NetworkChuck I recently started blog writing. Happy to see your video about the blog. I recently started following you and your work. Keep rocking!
Your work on building a "2nd brain" compelled me to ask that you share with us how you are integrating various technologies, apps, and techniques to build a "2nd Brain." Imagine a world where knowledge workers could seamlessly organize and access their accumulated research/wisdom instantly, similar to a "2nd Brain" -- unleashing a powerhouse of intellectual productivity. This is the promise of the "2nd brain" = a personalized, external memory that augments our capabilities. Perhaps you could start an exclusive TH-cam channel, an online academy, or even a masterclass series - where individuals could delve deeper into building their "2nd Brain." I, for one, would be a paid subscriber, eager to learn from your insights. Thx for considering this post. I believe you are uniquely positioned to transform the "2nd Brain" movement.
explore a bit about zetelkastan style of making notes . there is a whole series about it on level1techs too which introduced me to obsidian and paperlesNG making written and printed pages searchable.
Thanks to you and this video, I have started exploring how I can use Obsidian in my life. I see many new possibilities! Thank you! I am also starting a blog but have not decided how I want to do it yet. I am going to test your complete methodology on one of my Raspberry Pi 5 systems.
I am really interested in doing this, but I at the same time... I used the fabric stuff you shared and it was amazing... until it broke and now I am stuck trying to use a tool that I didn't make, and I barely understand, and while it was fun and useful when it worked... now I can't use it. I feel like if I followed this tutorial I would again have a shiny new tool I don't understand that when it breaks I won't be able to use it. I love how cool and fascinating all your projects are, but at the same time I also think I need to pursue simplicity and fewer tools and not relying so much on technology I don't understand. I think I will definitely check out that book though.
Hey Chuck! I had sort-of already done some of what you did here. I created a Hugo Blog back in September. The main differences for me were the different theme, the different services I used (I just set it up on Gitlab Pages and used Namecheap as my domain provider (as I also already had a domain)). I also didn't bother creating a complete pipeline. My setup is just the blog updating when I add a new post and push it to the repo, then the pipeline runs and the post is there within a minute or so.
Im just curious, based on the video, can i make the blog like wordpress article system? If its possible, how can i manage the article from backend? did i just put it on github or anywhere else. Thank you :)
I need to check out this book. I have heard of the second brain and have built my own knowledge base inside of Notion. I like the idea of also transferring this to a blog to share it with others
I would really like to see your obsidian vault and overall your productivity system. I can't imagine to manage so much projects at once without a system in the background
I've actually learnt to do all of that manually but never worked on doing a script to automate it all! I'm learning Python on the side so I will definitely try to understand and learn from your script so I could do something similar to get it working for my Hugo setup. Thanks Chuck :)
thats so cool! I actually wanted to make a blog and i already use obsidian for writing lots of my ideas. i think this workflow might actually work very well for me :)
Dude it's so weird to see someone else going down a similar path... I also plan to do a blog with hugo, started learning Japanese this year. I did leave obsidian behind for neovim though....whole new rabbit hole 😂
This video is far past me right now lol. I love obsidian and have been learning how to use that. Also just started linux with endeavouros so I can really have control and understanding of my computer. It's amazing how moving away from windows ,for me, lead me to Linux. Which made me use the terminal. That got me interested in better organization . Then markdown with obsidian. And then trying to learn some python and Godot. I just needed to realize I can shape my user experience on the computer to be exactly what I need it to be. And understand i have to build that. Great delivery ! Very well done. I hope to have a better grasp of this soon. Thank you
If you ever come to live in Japan, 🇯🇵 I would be happy to grab a coffee with you! ☕️ Specially if you visit/move to Kanto area. I’m a missionary and filmmaker in Yokohama. Your work always inspires me. 😊
Crayz timing. I just built something similar over the weekend and ended up with an abhorrent Dockerfile. I'll definitely take some tips from this one! Thank for posting!
Hi NetworkChuck Really like how you see the idea of a second brain and that sharing is a very valuable thing (and of course sharing how you technically do that with a TH-cam tutorial). Maybe I can also share something (as a windows guy) - installing hugo in windows can be easily done with winget: "winget install Hugo.Hugo.Extended". I am enjoying winget more and more every day. Installing my common tools on multiple PCs, updating software, or using some winget script to do all of that automatically (yes i am lazy). Maybe that is some new helpful information, or some topic for future ideas ;) Maybe I'll comment it on your github ... *thinking* Many thanks for sharing your ideas and this particular "project".
OneNote Pros: very polished "''What you see is what you get" display, Cons: vendor lock in. There is no good way to get your notes out of OneNote Obsidian: Pros: all your notes are MarkDown files. You can move them, edit them, do whatever you want. Cons: Its just markdown. You have to type all your notes in MarkDown and if MarkDown can't do it, you can't do it.
I use OneNote at work because 1) I don't get a choice and 2) I have a very specific use case and it works for that, but Obsidian is night and day better and I definitely recommend checking it out.
Welcome to the blogosphere Chuck. Only twenty years behind. Btw Hugo has a flag for the content path and there is a lot easier ways to set up a Jekyll style static blog. All that said love your first half of the video. Know a lot of people will call that "second brain" either a wiki or even use something like a zettelkasten method but even a blog is good too.
Thank you for this Video/Tutorial. Great as aways. Can you please make a Tutorial (show us a good Tool) for DMS (Document Management System) and automation? 👍
I built my blog site using Astro, with my blog posts in Markdown. I link the `/posts` folder to Obsidian using a command, so whenever I create a new post, it gets saved directly in my Astro blog folder.
The most inspiring thing to me was learning you have 6 kids and still do all of this. Now I have no excuses with only 2 :D Oh, and I see you're also using PARA :D Great way to organize.
I haven't read the book, although it looks interesting. I will say that I have a similar pipeline for a Hugo blog. It's not integrated with my note-taking system, as that workflow pre-dated my use of Trilium, but I write the Markdown locally in a git repo, commit and push it to my self-hosted Forgejo instance, and then my VPS pulls that and executes a post-commit hook to redeploy the live site from the main branch at that point in time. Looks like the only thing I'm missing is that integration. The flip side is that I don't seem to need the complexity of a webhook and any Github actions; I just use a cron job to do a git pull every 15 minutes or so, and then the rebuild takes place automatically.
Love this. Thought of this exact same idea but never executed on it. My idea was to actualy set the obsidian Blog Workspace to the Hugo Markdown Folder or possibly set a symlink to the Obsidian Folder.
I think it would be cool to have a scheduled task to automatically run the updateblog script so you could get your thoughts out there and have it auto update at a set interval. Maybe even some checks to only update if it detects any changes.
Thanks, Chuck, another great video. I started using Obsidian in the last six months, and I love it. This is the next step. Had a look at the blog, your thoughts on AI and God are very thought-provoking. God Bless....

I love how cool and fascinating all your projects are, but at the same time I also think I need to pursue simplicity and fewer tools and not relying so much on technology I don't understand. I think I will definitely check out that book though.
Many of your videos are inside of my second brain in notion helping me through the world of tech hacking coding etc
Hey Chuck! I had sort-of already done some of what you did here. I created a Hugo Blog back in September. The main differences for me were the different theme, the different services I used (I just set it up on Gitlab Pages and used Namecheap as my domain provider (as I also already had a domain)). I also didn't bother creating a complete pipeline. My setup is just the blog updating when I add a new post and push it to the repo, then the pipeline runs and the post is there within a minute or so.
Im just curious, based on the video, can i make the blog like wordpress article system? If its possible, how can i manage the article from backend? did i just put it on github or anywhere else. Thank you :)
I got this up and running for a different Hugo template, thank you for this! Cheers!
I'm really looking forward to the Obsidian video. I hope it comes soon 😮
I need to check out this book. I have heard of the second brain and have built my own knowledge base inside of Notion. I like the idea of also transferring this to a blog to share it with others
His keyboard sound is amazing and satisfying 😍
I love that this took you over 3h to do. Like a normal person does :)
6 girls is INSANE 👏🏻
Kept trying for a boy and gave up lol
I would really like to see your obsidian vault and overall your productivity system.
I can't imagine to manage so much projects at once without a system in the background
Loved to learn you have 6 children! Amazing!
Dude - you must be from the Midwest... "Git n Go" brings back a ton of memories. Glad you took time to create that 2 second montage. :)
Ah you just said you were from Texas, yup that would do it. I grew up in Missouri.
i love your content, but the coffee break always get my like man. keep it up LUV YA
This video/book has changed the way I think. Hoping to automate my blog post pipeline using this model in the future as well 🚀
I've actually learnt to do all of that manually but never worked on doing a script to automate it all! I'm learning Python on the side so I will definitely try to understand and learn from your script so I could do something similar to get it working for my Hugo setup. Thanks Chuck :)
you're a beast - have learned so much cool shit - man - what a great job you do. Keep it up!
and I have 1000 projects from your videos, I watch on my appleTV so I couldn't comment, but had to run to my laptop on this video
There's a tool that simplifies that task, it takes all the notes in markdown format and converts them to a static page, it is called "Quartz".
thats so cool!
I actually wanted to make a blog and i already use obsidian for writing lots of my ideas. i think this workflow might actually work very well for me :)
Dude it's so weird to see someone else going down a similar path... I also plan to do a blog with hugo, started learning Japanese this year. I did leave obsidian behind for neovim though....whole new rabbit hole 😂
Such an ambitious video......I want to do it! Love it
I Finished my hw and i can watch this video , relaxing in my bed and sleep!! Thank you
This video is far past me right now lol. I love obsidian and have been learning how to use that. Also just started linux with endeavouros so I can really have control and understanding of my computer. It's amazing how moving away from windows ,for me, lead me to Linux. Which made me use the terminal. That got me interested in better organization . Then markdown with obsidian. And then trying to learn some python and Godot. I just needed to realize I can shape my user experience on the computer to be exactly what I need it to be. And understand i have to build that. Great delivery ! Very well done. I hope to have a better grasp of this soon. Thank you
I will write a blog with this video as the inspiration
Watched you forever, you are amazing! X
If you ever come to live in Japan, 🇯🇵 I would be happy to grab a coffee with you! ☕️ Specially if you visit/move to Kanto area. I’m a missionary and filmmaker in Yokohama. Your work always inspires me. 😊
Crayz timing. I just built something similar over the weekend and ended up with an
abhorrent Dockerfile. I'll definitely take some tips from this one! Thank for posting!
Hi NetworkChuck
Really like how you see the idea of a second brain and that sharing is a very valuable thing (and of course sharing how you technically do that with a TH-cam tutorial).
Maybe I can also share something (as a windows guy) - installing hugo in windows can be easily done with winget: "winget install Hugo.Hugo.Extended".
I am enjoying winget more and more every day. Installing my common tools on multiple PCs, updating software, or using some winget script to do all of that automatically (yes i am lazy).
Maybe that is some new helpful information, or some topic for future ideas ;)
Maybe I'll comment it on your github ... *thinking*
Many thanks for sharing your ideas and this particular "project".
This was VERY geeky, but your enthusiasm is great! Definitely going to check out Obsidian vs OneNote.
Obsidian claps though.
OneNote Pros: very polished "''What you see is what you get" display, Cons: vendor lock in. There is no good way to get your notes out of OneNote
Obsidian: Pros: all your notes are MarkDown files. You can move them, edit them, do whatever you want. Cons: Its just markdown. You have to type all your notes in MarkDown and if MarkDown can't do it, you can't do it.
I use OneNote at work because 1) I don't get a choice and 2) I have a very specific use case and it works for that, but Obsidian is night and day better and I definitely recommend checking it out.
I was thinking "this seems like a very respectable man" and then he said "my favorite text editor: VSCode in Windows".
Welcome to the blogosphere Chuck. Only twenty years behind. Btw Hugo has a flag for the content path and there is a lot easier ways to set up a Jekyll style static blog.
All that said love your first half of the video. Know a lot of people will call that "second brain" either a wiki or even use something like a zettelkasten method but even a blog is good too.
This sounds like a great book.
🤔
it's like he was reading my mind and then answered:
yes, i use windows )))
Thank you for this Video/Tutorial. Great as aways. Can you please make a Tutorial (show us a good Tool) for DMS (Document Management System) and automation? 👍
I built my blog site using Astro, with my blog posts in Markdown. I link the `/posts` folder to Obsidian using a command, so whenever I create a new post, it gets saved directly in my Astro blog folder.
The most inspiring thing to me was learning you have 6 kids and still do all of this. Now I have no excuses with only 2 :D Oh, and I see you're also using PARA :D Great way to organize.
Didn’t expect you to make a video on Obsidian BTW I use daily notes
New video need to watch it even if there is english pre-board tomorrow
I haven't read the book, although it looks interesting.
I will say that I have a similar pipeline for a Hugo blog. It's not integrated with my note-taking system, as that workflow pre-dated my use of Trilium, but I write the Markdown locally in a git repo, commit and push it to my self-hosted Forgejo instance, and then my VPS pulls that and executes a post-commit hook to redeploy the live site from the main branch at that point in time. Looks like the only thing I'm missing is that integration.
The flip side is that I don't seem to need the complexity of a webhook and any Github actions; I just use a cron job to do a git pull every 15 minutes or so, and then the rebuild takes place automatically.
Love this. Thought of this exact same idea but never executed on it.
My idea was to actualy set the obsidian Blog Workspace to the Hugo Markdown Folder or possibly set a symlink to the Obsidian Folder.
I like your windows terminal theme.
"Much is given" Much is required. I see you 🐟.
And of course within the first 8 hours, you've got PRs against your blog repo.
We love to see it. :D
Yes!! A New Upload!!!
Bro, 6 girls? You're a really lucky man. I hope you all be happy together.
I think it would be cool to have a scheduled task to automatically run the updateblog script so you could get your thoughts out there and have it auto update at a set interval. Maybe even some checks to only update if it detects any changes.
I just saw this posted and I was like wait what?
Every second 🎉you are motivating people. I don't watch videos a lot and this video is not relevant for me but still seeing because I don't know. 😂
Thanks, Chuck, another great video. I started using Obsidian in the last six months, and I love it. This is the next step. Had a look at the blog, your thoughts on AI and God are very thought-provoking. God Bless....
Right video at the right time
Mate, I get you ❤️. Have to be there in life to get it 😊
Incredible Chuck !
