Notica is a simple note-taking application that you can use to quickly jot down your thoughts and ideas. This tutorial covers the steps required to install Notica on Ubuntu Server.
Before you begin, you need to have the following:
Before we start, let's make sure that the server is up-to-date by running the following commands:
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
Notica is built using Node.js, so we need to install Node.js and its package manager (npm). Run the following command to install Node.js:
sudo apt install nodejs npm
Notica uses SQLite to store the notes, so we need to install it using the following command:
sudo apt install sqlite3
Now that we have installed the dependencies, we can install Notica. First, create a new directory for Notica:
mkdir notica
cd notica
Next, download the latest release of Notica from https://github.com/tiagopog/notica/releases using the wget command:
wget https://github.com/tiagopog/notica/releases/download/v1.1.6/notica-1.1.6.tar.gz
Extract the downloaded file:
tar -xf notica-1.1.6.tar.gz
Install the required dependencies:
npm install
Notica needs to be configured before we can use it. Open the config.json file using a text editor:
nano config.json
Update the configuration values as per your requirements. You can change the port number, the database file name, and the storage directory.
Save the changes and exit.
The final step is to start Notica. Run the following command to start Notica:
npm start
You should now be able to access Notica by visiting http://<your_server_ip>:8080 in a web browser.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Notica on your Ubuntu Server.
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!
