Think about it in the following terms:
- A personal knowledgebase or Digital Garden
- The file system is the storage
- Uses Markdown format
- Has a web interface
- Minimal interface
- Avoids Javascript like the plague
- Run it in any directory to create a blog
- Go to any path to create a note
- Checkout index.md for additional features
- Create a
templatenote. xlog will use its content to prefix the editor when creating a new note - Go files starting with
extension-are self contained removing a file removes the feature (views/extension/sometimes will have a view files for the feature)
go install github.com/emad-elsaid/xlog@latest
Usage of xlog:
-bind string
IP and port to bind the web server to (default "127.0.0.1:7000")
-source string
Directory that will act as a storage (default ".")
-autoload
reload the page when the server restarts
Now you can access notes with localhost:7000
If you want you can access it with a name like notes:7000 by adding this line to /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 notes
Also you can use notes instead of notes:7000 by redirecting traffic from port 80 to port 7000
sudo iptables -t nat -I OUTPUT -p tcp -d 127.0.0.1 --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-ports 7000
so that means you can create a new note in your browser by visiting notes/note title here
