WebDAV

Last updated: March 9, 2026

WebDAV

MD Planner exposes the project directory over WebDAV at /webdav. This allows
editing markdown files with any WebDAV-compatible application (Obsidian,
Neovim + netRW, Finder, etc.).

Enable WebDAV

mdplanner --webdav ./my-project

With basic auth:

mdplanner --webdav --webdav-user admin --webdav-pass secret ./my-project

Both --webdav-user and --webdav-pass are required when using authentication.

Docker

environment:
  - MDPLANNER_WEBDAV=1
  - MDPLANNER_WEBDAV_USER=admin
  - MDPLANNER_WEBDAV_PASS=secret

Mount in Finder (macOS)

  1. Finder > Go > Connect to Server
  2. Enter http://localhost:8003/webdav
  3. Enter credentials if configured

Mount in Linux

# Using davfs2
sudo mount -t davfs http://localhost:8003/webdav /mnt/mdplanner

Usage with editors

Any editor that supports file system access can edit the markdown files directly.
Changes are picked up by the server through file system watching. SSE events
notify connected web UI clients of external changes.
