Self hosted?

Opened this issue ยท 3 comments

Hi,

This looks so awesome! I fell in love within seconds of trying it. It's just so cool, I can't believe I hadn't heard of this project yet. I have tried so so many note-taking systems, and this is definitely the coolest I've tried.

Can lumen be self-hosted, and use a private bare repo in my own machine?

Hi! I'm glad the project resonated with you ๐Ÿ’–

Lumen doesn't currently support local file access but I'm open to contributions if you'd like to implement it. It should be possible if isomorphic-git can play nice with the File System API.

I'm also very surprised that I found such a cool app. ๐Ÿ˜ณ

The simplicity and variability of the knowledge base, you do not need to think long, just open and write a note.

This is exactly what you need:
โ€” Speed. I'm really surprised by the speed and ease. The same Logseq has microlags, it just pisses me off.
โ€” Tags
โ€” Templates
โ€” Daily notes
โ€” Back links
โ€” Queries
โ€” Metadata

What is missing:
โ€” The most important thing is local data storage, without synchronization with Github. And this app will automatically become my main note-taking app. โค๏ธ
โ€” Secondly, the ability to install on your own web server. (but this is secondary)

@colebemis It don't need to use filesystem access API for this feature. Surely it would be cool, but I think this issue is about hosting it on own webserver, and using different Git repo provider instead of Github.
