Joplin
Joplin is an open source note-taking app. Capture your thoughts and securely access them from any device.
This service lets you host your own Joplin server, which your clients can connect to.
Installation
Enable Joplin by setting COMPOSE_PROFILES=joplin. It will be accessible at /joplin.
Copy the example environment file and edit as needed before running Joplin: cp joplin/env.example joplin/.env.
Backup
Joplin's database and media files can be backed up in the cloud storage product of your choice with Rclone.
Before a backup can be made, rclone config must be run to generate the configuration file:
docker compose run --rm -it joplin-backup rclone config
It will generate a rclone.conf configuration file in ./joplin/rclone/rclone.conf.
Copy the backup environment file to backup.env and fill it as needed:
cp backup.env.exmple backup.env
