MiniNote is a web-based note-taking application that can be self-hosted on your local machine. It can be used for personal notes, project management, and more. In this tutorial, we will go through the steps to install MiniNote on OpenBSD.
Before starting the installation, you need to have the following:
The first step is to install the dependencies required by MiniNote. OpenBSD has most of the required dependencies installed by default. However, we need to install the following additional packages:
# pkg_add node
Next, we need to clone the MiniNote repository from GitHub:
$ git clone https://github.com/muety/mininote.git
After successfully cloning the repository, navigate to the newly created directory and copy the configuration file:
$ cd mininote
$ cp config/config.example.ts config/config.ts
Now you need to edit the config.ts file and modify the following values:
port: This is the port number where MiniNote will listen for incoming connections. By default, it is set to 8080.dataDir: This is the directory where MiniNote will store all the notes. You can set this to any directory that you have write access to.publicUrl: This is the URL where MiniNote can be accessed from the web. By default, it is set to http://localhost:8080.The next step is to build the MiniNote application:
$ npm install
$ npm run build
This will compile and build the application in the dist folder.
Now you can start MiniNote by running the following command:
$ npm start
This will start the MiniNote server, and you can access it by navigating to http://localhost:8080 on your web browser.
In this tutorial, we have successfully installed MiniNote on your OpenBSD machine. You can use it to take notes and organize your projects. Enjoy!
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
