The Sovereign Author - Building a Nostr Publishing Pipeline with Tailscale
Imagine a workflow where your notes are never trapped in a corporate silo, your ideas are backed up on hardware you physically own, and your connection to that hardware is private and seamless. This is the promise of a truly sovereign authoring stack, built on your own terms.
This guide will walk you through the three architectural pillars of this system: a personal database running on your own server, your Obsidian vault for writing, and the Nostr network for publishing. We will focus on the high-level concepts, using Tailscale to create a simple, private network that eliminates the need for complex DNS and HTTPS certificates.
