Introduction

What is Vault CMS?

Vault CMS lets you use Obsidian as a content management system for your Astro website.

It comes with preconfigured settings, plugins, and a wizard to step you through all of it.

Philosophy

  1. Plug-and-play Astro blogging experience: Designed to work out of the box with your Astro project.
