Features

• Privacy first
  Keep your own data by yourself. All data generated at runtime is saved in the SQLite database file.
• Plain text with Markdown
  All content will be saved as plain text, not HTML. And lots of useful markdown syntax are supported.
• Lightweight but Powerful
  Using Go + React.js + SQLite architecture, the overall package is very lightweight.
• Customizable
  You can customize the server name, icon, description, custom system style and execution script, etc.
• Open Source Completely
  memos believes that open source is the future, and all code is already open source in GitHub.
• Free Forever
  All features are free forever and will never be charged in any form or content.

Demo

I want to learn how to package, so this will be my first attempt. somewhere over the weekend.

Don't expect a working package from me over time. But I thought it's worth mentioning this app here.

Look quite nice although in the demo version check boxes don't seem to work at all for me.

@randyjc how did your packaging go ? is the repo available ? stuck somewhere ?

Found this video demo

It seems @randyjc forgot about it. Perhaps @Kubernetes likes it.

@robi I started to create an initial package and uploaded the current state to my Gitlab Repo.

However, following problems are still to solve:

• The memos binary seems to use the same part as binary for location of the sqlite database
• The current build dies because of read-only of /app/code (simple to solve, because this is just caused by a chown command)
• But even when the read-only problem for chown is solved, the memos binary throws an error, but because the terminal is reset so fast, I cannot read what the error is.
• More errors may be there, but not yet visible

If anyone want to contribute, that would be great!

@Kubernetes make sure to set the HOME env to /app/data and see if that helps with the paths.

You can log/redirect the output of the binary to a file.

[Kubernetes]

@robi I tried already to execute the memos binary in /app/data but received an segmentation fault error!?

[robi]

@Kubernetes that's odd, but sounds like it expects other files to be there, so it may as well run from /app/code

what's the error there?

[Kubernetes]

It complains that /var/opt/memos is unavailable (which is true)

[robi]

@Kubernetes aha! does the binary have --help options to set that elsewhere?

From GH:
The ~/.memos/ directory will be used as the data directory on your local machine, while /var/opt/memos is the directory of the volume in Docker and should not be modified.

HOME will take care of .memos
-d (--data) will set the data dir

[Kubernetes]

Great, now the app starts in Cloudron, but in Browser I just get "No frontend embeded." now

[Kubernetes]

Ok, I still miss the frontend compilation

[robi]

@Kubernetes there is no separate FE app, so is the port set up right? there is also the -m prod|dev option but not sure what the difference is.

[Kubernetes]

In Dockerfile the frontend is build separately in another stage build. I missed that. Just trying to get this done.

[robi]

@Kubernetes You're right, forgot that it was a mix.
there may also be a MEMOS_DATA env to set at the bottom.

Memos is now published as unstable for testing. The new forum section is at https://forum.cloudron.io/category/197/memos
