FAQs
What is S3? And what is MinIO?
- Amazon Simple Storage Service (AKA Amazon S3). TLDR: Read and write stored files or pictures through RESTful API.
- MinIO: a self-hosted S3. Install by docker:
docker run -p 9000:9000 minio/minio server /data
Why not use Database?
Personally speaking, the data stored in Notea is mainly files (such as text or pictures) but the database is not good at reading and writing these type of files; S3 can generate a signed URL to access the remote files, but the database cannot do it.
Why not use filesystem storage?
There are many excellent offline note-taking apps supporting filesystem storage available. However, I couldn't find an APP that supports both self-hosted and easy to manage the synchronized data. The purpose of this project is to mitigate the above pain-point.
