### Common Issues
```bash
# Container won't start
docker-compose logs obsidian
# GUI not loading
# Check shared memory allocation
# Verify seccomp:unconfined is set
# Permission issues
sudo chown -R 1000:1000 /opt/obsidian/config/
# Performance issues
# Increase shm_size in docker-compose.yml
# Check available system resources
```
### Connection Issues
```bash
# Test local endpoint
curl -I http://127.0.0.1:3000
# Test public endpoint
curl -I https://obs.vish.gg
# Check nginx configuration
sudo nginx -t
sudo systemctl reload nginx
```
### File Access Issues
```bash
# Check file permissions
