How to set up WSL with Obsidian

Obsidian can’t natively open and edit WSL files, so, if you’re like me and like using Obsidian (because vs-code always gives me markdown errors when I add front matter) you can mount your windows directory into the Astro content directory.

• edit /etc/wsl.conf:

[boot]
systemd=true

• edit /etc/fstab and add a folder and link it to your astro content folder:

/mnt/c/Users/<path to obsidian folder with site content> /home/<path to astro content directory> none defaults,bind,uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=022 0 0

• open obsidian in windows and edit your content files in astro
