Docmost: My New Favorite Note-Taking and Documentation App for Docker

[@philipokugbe]

I am the founder of Docmost. Thanks for making such an elaborate review. You wonderfully did it and I appreciate it. Your feedback is appreciated and helpful. Happy to answer any questions here.

[@DBTechYT]

Thank you so much for checking out my video! I mentioned a couple of things in the video, but then someone in my Discord mentioned one other thing: There doesn't seem to be a way to delete spaces. They can be edited, but not deleted. Is that functionality on the roadmap for future development? Also, I forgot to mention in the video, there isn't a "forgot my password" feature and that would be super helpful as well. Again, thank you for the great app!

[@philipokugbe]

@@DBTechYTthese are valid issues. I plan to work on them soon.

[@goodcitizen4587]

Please build an example using a real use case. Latin words of gibbersh just is too vague. Thanks!

[@Travispater101]

Amazing work on this!! if i had a feature requst, if its possible? to add "no access" to pages. For example "Management group" can access a Fiancial page, but no one else can (or even see it). This one is probably pushing it: i see pages can share, but, if we could share "one" page to someone and they'd only see that one page without having to be a member.?

[@philipokugbe]

⁠@@Travispater101right now, only space-level permissions apply to pages. In a future release, there will be page-level permissions like you suggest. Edit: typo.

It's not just an informative video. I really enjoy the your selection of projects and the way you present till they get installed. May Allah bless you

[@DBTechYT]

Thank you so much!

[@mt_kegan512]

Thanks DB, great video as always! ...I still haven't found anything better than bookstack tho. Flatnotes is nice too because there's no database. Thx for bringing us so many great projects!

[@DBTechYT]

Thanks for watching!

[@Nostang3]

I wish I could find self-hosted notes/document that supports pen/drawing like Onenote.

[@giftcp82]

try obsidian.

[@ChristianYoga]

@@giftcp82 Not enough similiarity... Especially with free-to-place image

[@MarkGibbs]

I can only recommend Docmost for people who don't need it to be part of a bigger workflow system. I've search the interwebs and Docmost documentation and it appears there's no support for named anchors and no API. The former, the named anchors, is the bigger problem. If you're creating documents with any complexity, you'll want to able to cross reference to other places in the same document or within other documents. Other than those deal breakers, it's a really nice piece of engineering and has the potential to become something that's really useful.

[@MarkGibbs]

BTW, good review. Thanks.

[@PowerMechGuyTechMasterEarl]

I love your channel. You answered all my questions. And you explained everything so simply! Thank you and God bless you.

[@DBTechYT]

You are so welcome! I'm glad the video was helpful for you :)

[@moisthoagie1992]

I've been using Notion for a bit myself, but this definitely looks like a self hosted version of that

[@DBTechYT]

Thanks for watching and commenting :)

[@SB-qm5wg]

I like the look and the flow.

[@yourpcmd]

I think Ill give this a try, it looks like the features are up my alley. Is there anything out there that could be like a calendar, or an event calendar?

[@DBTechYT]

Not sure about a calendar. I know NextCloud has one, but I'm not a fan of NextCloud

[@Rukzor]

Fantastic review, and exactly what ive been looking for

[@synacktime]

I do love me a good note taking software! Do you think this is a replacement for Trillian?

[@DBTechYT]

Trillian is pretty intense with what it can do, so it's all up to what you NEED from a note-taking app! :)

[@propeto13]

Currently using Outline, figure i give this a try but currently stuck in the 'white blank page' any time i try to tunnel this container out for some reason.

[@monkeymike_dot_eth]

i dig it. keep on keeping on. subscribed

[@DBTechYT]

Awesome, thank you!

[@Clevermaxmoore]

Nextcloud would / could be this. With the constant updating etc. of nextcloud, I think I’ll be moving to this for my document management

[@DBTechYT]

I agree. I've tried multiple time to use Nextcloud and I just can't even force myself to like it

[@SB-qm5wg]

Agreed.

[@chrisblumarten]

Interesting. How does this stack up against Trilium (which I currently use)?

[@DBTechYT]

Trillium is a far more complex app in its abilities, but you'd have to just take the 2 minutes to install this and compare them for yourself I think

[@chrisblumarten]

@@DBTechYT Thanks David, I'l give it a spin.

[@therealwillroberts1685]

I was struck by how similar Docmost is to Trilium Notes.

[@OzDeaDMeaT]

Was there anything about injecting images into the pages? Cloud based Confluence i can just paste an image from my clipboard, makes creating SOPs SUPER quick, does this have a feature like that?

[@philipokugbe]

Hi, I am the creator of Docmost. Yes, It supports pasting media from the clipboard.

[@OzDeaDMeaT]

@@philipokugbe Awesome mate, I am gonna check it out.

[@IGrowUP2023]

another good video, just want to check if the smtp variable will work for Wordpress docker as well?

[@DBTechYT]

Likley not. Each container is going to have environment variables that it can use. You're better off using an SMTP plugin in WordPress (like this: wordpress.com/plugins/wp-mail-smtp) rather than trying to deploy the container with SMTP settings

[@IGrowUP2023]

@@DBTechYT yes thanks i have used FluentSMTP

[@dlmac]

darkmode > lightmode

[@DBTechYT]

💯

[@SilentRage-]

Thank you man 👍

[@DBTechYT]

Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment!

[@MrRoninSpawn]

This looks interesting. Thanks as always 😊 Stab in the dark about the save frequency... might be like Word online where it saves as soon as you make a change, and tracks all changes. Not sure how this app tracks version history changes, snap shots of the current document or if everything?

[@DBTechYT]

Could be

[@boubou40]

Personnaly, I prefer Bookstack

[@DBTechYT]

Totally get it. I have been using bookstack for years at this point as a wiki for some old video projects and it's been great for that, but I like this for other reasons :)

[@didierluthi]

same here!

[@leifi76]

I was literally just about to get started with bookstack then saw your video. Thanks for the tip!
