Generate the additional-device Setup URI from the working first device. This captures the settings which that device is actually using, rather than asking another device to reuse the bootstrap URI produced during server provisioning.
Generate a Setup URI for another device from the working first device. This captures the settings which that device is actually using, rather than asking another device to reuse the Setup URI produced during server provisioning.
1. Open the Obsidian command palette on the first device.
2. Run `Self-hosted LiveSync: Copy settings as a new Setup URI`.
3. Enter a new passphrase which will protect this Setup URI, then select `OK`.

8. When asked how to handle extra local files, the conservative choice is `Keep local files even if not on remote`. Select the delete option only when the local Vault is disposable and an exact remote copy is intended.

- Obsidian Mobile requires HTTPS. Plain HTTP is suitable only for a trusted local connection from a desktop device.
- Use credentials which are allowed to connect to the selected database and, for this first-device path, create it when it does not exist.
- Use credentials which are allowed to connect to the selected database and, when configuring the first device, create it if it does not exist.
7. `Check server requirements` is optional. It sends the displayed credentials to the configured server through Obsidian's internal request API, and some checks require CouchDB administrator access. The initial check is read-only. If it offers a server change, review and confirm that individual change separately.
8. Select `Create or connect to database and continue`. Onboarding requires this connection test to succeed.
