## 🎯 Intentions
- ✍️ Write down the light-card memos very easily;
- 🏗️ Build the fragmented knowledge management tool for yourself;
- 📒 For noting your 📅 daily/weekly plans, 💡 fantastic ideas, 📕 reading thoughts...
## ✨ Features
- 🦄 Fully open source;
- 👍 Write in the plain textarea without any burden;
- 🤠 Great UI and never miss any detail;
- 🚀 Super quick self-hosted with `Docker` and `SQLite`;
## ⚓️ Deploy with Docker
```docker
docker run --name memos --publish 5230:5230 --volume ~/.memos/:/var/opt/memos -e mode=prod -e port=5230 neosmemo/memos:0.1.2
```
Memos should now be running at [http://localhost:5230](http://localhost:5230). If the `~/.memos/` does not have a `memos_prod.db` file, then `memos` will auto generate it.
## 🏗 Development
Memos is built with a curated tech stack. It is optimized for developer experience and is very easy to start working on the code:
1. It has no external dependency.
2. It requires zero config.
3. 1 command to start backend and 1 command to start frontend, both with live reload support.
### Tech Stack
### Prerequisites
- [Go](https://golang.org/doc/install) (1.16 or later)
- [Air](https://github.com/cosmtrek/air#installation) for backend live reload
- [yarn](https://yarnpkg.com/getting-started/install)
### Steps
1. pull source code
```bash
git clone https://github.com/usememos/memos
```
2. start backend using air(with live reload)
```bash
air -c scripts/.air.toml
```
3. start frontend dev server
```bash
cd web && yarn && yarn dev
```
Memos should now be running at [http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000) and change either frontend or backend code would trigger live reload.
