How to Install Docmost - A Self-Hosted Alternative to Notion

[@anthonygross226]

It may be more advantageous to use nginx proxy manager in the compose (which makes the networking make a little more sense). The overhead and nuances fir Traefik are a little beyond the scope of demo of docmost, IMHO

[@tillcarlos]

Yeah, true. Nginx might have been a better choice here. That's just the thing I got to work easily. Are you using Docmost now?

An alternative is also Obsidian with a shared storage

[@PricopStetco]

Yes, but self-hosted is better😅

@@PricopStetco…obsidian is literally markdown files with a fancy UI. It lives on your hard drive. How is it not self-hosted?

[@tommyjohnson9176]

@@ClariNerd Because "self-hosted" typically means hosting on a dedicated machine. I enjoy Obsidian but I still prefer Docmost because: 1. Obsidian is closed-source 2. Obsidian doesn't offer real-time collaboration and shared storage solutions/plugins are complex to work with.

a cool video. I started using this app, but I want to know how I can backup all my notes?

[@tillcarlos]

If you have a hetzner server you can just hit "backups" in the panel and pay for it. Downloading all notes - I guess you'd need a script for that. I agree it'd be great to have this feature.

By the way, to make directories and subdirectories in one go use -p. So mkdir -p /path/to/deep/directory and it'll create /path/to/deep even if /path doesn't exist. Additionally you can use {} to make more directories. mkdir -p /path/to/{my,the,your}/directory will create /path/to/my/directory, /path/to/the/directory and /path/to/your/directory.
