You can run your own Standard Notes server and use it with any Standard Notes app. This allows you to have 100% control of your data. This server is built with Ruby on Rails and can be deployed in minutes.
Requirements
- Ruby 2.3+
- Rails 5
- MySQL 5.6+ database
-
Clone the project:
git clone --branch master https://github.com/standardnotes/syncing-server.git
-
Create a
.env
file in the project's root directory. See .env.sample for required values. -
Initialize the project:
bundle install bundle exec rails db:create db:migrate
-
Start the server:
bundle exec rails server
The syncing-server
uses RSpec for tests.
To execute all of the test specs, run the following command at the root of the project directory:
bundle exec rspec
Code coverage report is available within the coverage
directory.
- Set the
DISABLE_USER_REGISTRATION
environment variable totrue
- Restart the
syncing-server
Docker is the quick and easy way to try out Standard Notes. We highly recommend using our official Docker hub image.
Before you start make sure you have a .env
file copied from the sample .env.sample
and configured with your parameters.
If your intention is not contributing but just running the app we recommend using our official image from Docker hub like this:
docker run -d -p 3000:3000 --env-file=your-env-file standardnotes/syncing-server:stable
Or if you want to use the develop
branch that is in a work-in-progress state please use:
docker run -d -p 3000:3000 --env-file=your-env-file standardnotes/syncing-server:latest
You can then access the server via the Desktop application by setting the Sync Server Domain (Under Advanced Options) to http://localhost:3000
You can deploy your own Standard Notes server with one click on Heroku:
You can run your own Standard Notes server on a Raspberry Pi using docker-compose
.
Requirements
- A Raspberry Pi running Raspbian OS
- Docker (you can install it using the convenience script)
-
Install
libffi
andlibssl
dependencies:sudo apt install -y libffi-dev libssl-dev
-
Install
python3
andpython3-pip
:sudo apt install -y python3 python3-pip
-
Install
docker-compose
:sudo pip3 install docker-compose
-
Setup your
.env
file and run:docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.raspberry-pi.yml up -d
Tested on a Raspberry Pi 4 Model B
For contributing we highly recommend you use our docker-compose setup that is provided in this repository.
Use the included docker-compose.yml file to build Standard Notes with docker-compose
. Once your .env
file has been copied and configured, simply run:
docker-compose up -d
This should load the syncing-server and MySQL database containers and run the necessary migrations. You should then be able to reach the server at http://localhost:[EXPOSED_PORT]
. For example, if inside of my .env
file I set "EXPOSED_PORT=7459" I could reach the syncing-server via http://localhost:7459
To stop the server, cd
into this directory again and run docker-compose down
Your MySQL Data will be written to your local disk in the data
folder to keep it persistent between container runs.
