standardnotes-extensions: A Python repository from kylejbrk

Standard Notes Extensions - Self-Hosted Repository

Host Standard Notes extensions on your own server. This utility parses most of the open-source extensions available from original repository as well as from other authors and builds an extensions repository which then can be plugged directly into Standard Notes Web/Desktop Clients. (https://standardnotes.org/)

Extensions are listed as YAML in the \extensions sub-directory, pull a request if you'd like to add yours.

Requirements

Python 3
- pyyaml module
- requests module

Demo

Usage

Clone this repository to the web-server:

$ git clone https://github.com/iganeshk/standardnotes-extensions.git
$ cd standardnotes-extensions
$ pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Use the env.sample to create a .env file for your environment variables. The utility will automatically load these when it starts.

# Sample ENV setup Variables (YAML)
# Copy this file and update as needed.
#
#   $ cp env.sample .env
#
# Do not include this new file in source control
# Github Credentials
# Generate your token here: https://github.com/settings/tokens
# No additional permission required, this is just to avoid github api rate limits
#

domain: https://your-domain.com/extensions

github:
  username: USERNAME
  token: TOKEN

[Optional] Make additions or appropriate changes in /extensions directory.
Run the utility:

$ python3 build_repo.py

Serve the /public directory and verify if the endpoint is reachable.

https://your-domain.com/extensions/index.json

Import the above endpoint into the web/desktop client. (Note: Enable CORS for your web server respectively, nginx setup provided below)
