Notea (fork)

Self-hosted note-taking app stored on S3.

screenshot

Notea - Free self-hosted open source note taking app, like Notion | Product Hunt

Notice

This is a fork of the original project, which was abandoned. I am the only maintainer of this fork so far.

Features

  • One-click deploy to Vercel/Netlify or deploy to host with Docker
  • Support storage in Amazon S3, MinIO, Aliyun OSS, etc
  • Notion-like markdown editor

Roadmap

  • Backlinks #39
  • Link embedding (YouTube, Github Gist, Google Docs, etc.)
  • Editing offline #14
  • Note versioning #49
  • File upload

Quickstart

  1. Fork repo. It is recommended to install the Pull app for automatic synchronization.
  2. Choose Storage and manually create bucket.
  3. Deploy App

Deploy

Click https://vercel.com/new to deploy your fork repo.

Netlify

Click https://app.netlify.com/start to deploy your fork repo.

Docker

docker run -d \
  --name notea \
  -p 3000:3000 \
  -e STORE_ACCESS_KEY=Q3AM3UQ867SPQQA43P2F \

You can use watchtower to keep the latest version.

docker run -d \
  -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
  containrrr/watchtower -c notea

Other services that support the s3 protocol can also be used. Contribution examples are welcome.

Environment variables

Name Description Default Optional Required
PASSWORD Password to login to the app true
STORE_ACCESS_KEY AccessKey true
STORE_SECRET_KEY SecretKey true
STORE_BUCKET Bucket true
STORE_END_POINT Host name or an IP address.
STORE_REGION region us-east-1
STORE_FORCE_PATH_STYLE Whether to force path style URLs for S3 objects false

COOKIE_SECURE Only works under https: scheme If the website is not https, you may not be able to log in, and you need to set it to false true
BASE_URL The domain of the website, used for SEO
DISABLE_PASSWORD Disable password protection. This means that you need to implement authentication on the server yourself, but the route /share/:id needs to be accessible anonymously, if you need share page. #31 false

Development

docker-compose up -d
yarn dev

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 a 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.
