Standard Notes is a secure note-taking app that allows you to easily store and organize your notes. If you want to take more control of your data, you can self-host Standard Notes. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Standard Notes on Void Linux.
Before you start, make sure you have the following:
Standard Notes is built with Node.js, so make sure you have it installed on your system. To install Node.js, run the following command:
sudo xbps-install -Sy nodejs
You also need Git to clone the Standard Notes repository. To install git, run the following command:
sudo xbps-install -Sy git
Now, you need to clone the Standard Notes repository. To do this, run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/standardnotes/web.git standardnotes
This command will create a new directory named standardnotes in the current directory and clone the Standard Notes repository into it.
Next, you need to install the app's dependencies and build it. To do this, navigate to the standardnotes directory and run the following command:
npm install && npm run build
This command will install all necessary dependencies and compile the app.
Finally, you can run the Standard Notes app by running the following command:
npm start
This command will start the app on https://localhost:3000. Open your web browser and go to this address to access Standard Notes. Note that the app is served over HTTPS, so your browser will warn you that the connection is not secure. You can safely ignore this warning and proceed to the app.
That's it! You have successfully installed Standard Notes on your Void Linux installation. You can now start using the app to store and organize your notes. If you have any issues or questions, refer to the Standard Notes documentation or the Void Linux community for support.
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!
