I’ve recently started a crusade for the perfect selfhosted note taking app.

I posted here and I read a lot of others posts and for now I think I have what I need.

But as I see Joplin recommended every now and then, and given it doesn’t offer a webui I can access everywhere from any computer (you need to install their app), I had this thought: how could I dockerize, say, the Linux Joplin app so I can put it behind a reverse proxy with auth and access it when I’m away from home from any computer.

I’ve seen this done for soulseek, mkvtoolnix and others, so I know it is feasibile.

Being just a hobbyist selfhoster with no programming background, I’m not sure where to start educating myself.

I’m sure there are some guides out there, but I’m not sure what to look for, what terms to use in my searches.

Somebody could point me to the right direction?

This project, https://neko.m1k1o.net/#/getting-started/examples , looks like a good base to try running regular GUI apps via docker & web.

edit: and here’s the git with Dockerfiles, https://github.com/m1k1o/neko-apps

Create a post

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don’t control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we’re here to support and learn from one another. Insults won’t be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it’s not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don’t duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.
