I am setting up my notes approach which is using dedicated apps on my devices plus syncthing.
I tried lots of tools like Joplin obsidian etc but are too overkill or had something I don’t like.
So I am using markor on android and another dedicated app on Linux and so on.
I would like to add also a web app to edit the MD files directly on my server when I don’t have any way to install syncthing or an editor app.
The web GUI would need to list the MD files local on the server and let me edit/view/save them. Upload and download is not required as I already have that setup via filebrowser.
Any hints?
Edit: to be clear, i am not looking for an IDE or anything fancy, i only need to edit some notes online on my server. I do not want to spin containers or deploy full VS solutions just for this, all i need is a web gui editor for MD with the capability to load files on the server
Second edit: i ended up selfhosting Silverbullet.md which made my day. Exactly what i was looking for, even more than that. Thanks all!
Check out Silver Bullet.
This looks amazing. I’m already using obsidian but if I’d found this first I probably would have started here.
Yes! that did it! Great piece of tool!
Huge fan of logseq
does it have a self-hosted web part? i can’t find it. The website only let me download a fuckton 170mb appimage for linux
Thanks, but not going to host a docker container just for such a stupid thing. Silverbullet.md did cut the cheese for me and it was even simpler.
You should be able to download via flathub too. It is self contained software but you can write to a Google or Dropbox directory and let that synch the files. I’m really a fan of logseq as well.
There is a web version i beleive but they have support for basicly all platforms nativly.
I don’t know any lightweight options, but as VS-Code was suggested, I’d like to suggest Hedgedoc too.
Yeah, looks interesting but way too overkill i guess?
Maybe look into silverbullet?
Silverbullet looks pretty easy to set up. Can you change the font and such it uses?
Yes.
Yes! ended up using silverbullet.md. Just amazing.
Nextcloud notes
Nah, moving away from NextCloud, it worked fine, but again overkill only for this
Then just use syncthing
I already do, it’s written in the opening post. I am looking for a webgui to edit markdown files on the server
^ This guy’s memory is limited to 300 tokens Lol
My new favorite insult of all time
Maybe not the best option, but can you use FileBrowser for that as well?
Cool! I didn’t noticed you could edit files from within it, but yes, that’s a cool option as well. Silverbullet.md turned out to be more interesting though, so i have self hosted it too.
You could try code-server? I use it daily to edit my markdown files.
Well, while much interesting indeed, i am not ready to install VSCode itself just for notes. I would prefer not to have the option to edit them online then.
How about using code-server and pointing it to your markdown folder? While it’s a code editor, it also has built-in markdown preview. Installation is also easy and doesn’t require docker.
Maybe CodiMD/HackMD: https://github.com/hackmdio/codimd
