joplin-vieweb

A simple web viewer for Joplin notes.

Purpose

I'm going to use Joplin as a notes application.
It's a long time I wanted for something like Joplin: opensource, not coupled to a web giant, and without infinite storage: storage has a price, we should pay for it.

Joplin-vieweb purpose is to provide an online view of my Joplin notes.
It's running on a "Django server", running beside Joplin terminal app.

Installation / configuration instructions

! Only linux systems are supported
! Only arm64 and amd64 architectures
! For raspberry users (I am): use 64 bits OS

Installation

Installation is done with docker-compose. The default docker-compose file installs a nginx server with certbot certificates mechanisms, and listens to ports 80 and 443.
If you have your own server, use docker-compose-joplin-only.yml. Have a look to the containers.

  • Prerequisites: your linux system has docker and docker-compose installed
  • Enable docker service at system startup
  • Get docker-compose.yml (either you clone this git repo, or you copy the file somewhere)
  • Edit the 3 variables (x-common-variables block) at the top of docker-compose file:
    • ORIGINS: write the domain and/or IP address (only those origins are allowed to access joplin-vieweb)
      Exemple:
      x-common-variables: &common-variables
          ORIGINS: "'http://localhost:8080', 'http://192.168.21.1:8080'"
      
      or
      x-common-variables: &common-variables
          ORIGINS: "'https://your_domain.com', 'https://12.34.56.78'"
          CERT_DOMAIN: your_domain.com 
          CERT_MAIL: you@zaclys.net
      
    • If you use nginx and certbot containers:
      • CERT_DOMAIN: your domain so let's encrypt can contact (IP address doesn't work: you need a domain)
      • CERT_MAIL: a mail needed by let's encrypt.
    • If you don't use nginx ans certbot container (if you use docker-compose-joplin-only.yml):
      • Change <PORT-TO-YOUR-PROXY> to fit your proxy setup.
  • And "run"
sudo systemctl enable docker
cd ~
mkdir joplin-vieweb
cd joplin-vieweb
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/joplin-vieweb/joplin-vieweb/main/docker-compose.yml
vi docker-compose.yml # edit the x-common-variables (3 variables)
sudo docker-compose up

Congratulation, the server is running. If the system reboots, the server will start automatically (since we enabled docker.service at startup and the services in odcker-compose are set as "restart")

Upgrade

When a new version is available, simply go to your docker-compose file:

sudo docker-compose down
sudo docker-compose pull
sudo docker-compose up

Configuration

Users

First you must change admin password:

Synchronisation

You should configure a synchronisation to secure your notes:

image
1 Click the settings tab
2 Input synchronisation data (only next cloud is supported for now, if you would like other services, ask in a conversation)
3 Test
4 If test result is OK: save

If your cloud already contains joplin content, do a synchronisation:

image
1 Click the synchronisation tab
2 click the sync button
3 Wait for the sync to finish (it may take a long time depending on your cloud content)
