![]() The belly of the beastįirst, self-hosted and open-source. Well, looks like the search is finally over. Still, when it comes to notes I have used a number of those over the year and all of them had something missing in the big picture. Even though it doesn't have a mobile app, it is mobile friendly (to some level) but I use it mostly while working on my iMac anyways. Yes, no article on this one, but truth is, this is not a note app, it's a wiki/documentation platform. Personally, after jumping from Note Station I have started looking for a more feature-rich solution. Now, do I need a note app? Well, in a way I do. Why not use a solution that is not connected to any HW or SW brand specifically and on top of that you can run it anywhere you want? ![]() Just like in my RocketChat vs Mattermost article comment section, I was asked why the Synology Chat app was not mentioned, or why am I not using it at all, but rather some alternatives? The same applies here. The Mobile version was not updated in ages and new features are not coming along as well. From a functional standpoint, NS was always missing things, and as time goes by it looks like Synology has forgotten about this app. With Note Station, it made sense to self-host my notes on my own NAS. I was never too happy with it and I made a switch from Evernote to it long before Evernote started its new policy. There are some great solutions out there (better then some paid I might say so), so why not? If you need to use a service that is open-source, private, and free, really, why not?įor a long time, I have been using Synology Note Station since it came out years ago. Well, I like to self-host apps and services that I use daily. This article will show you how to make it all happen and run it inside Docker on your Synology NAS along with (also free and open-source) all extensions that SN offers.īefore I get into all that just a few words why bother with this scenario in the first place. If you are looking a bit more, like support for markdown, code, themes, 2Fa, etc, then you will need to either pay a small monthly fee or host them yourself. More than enough for the majority of people. With its spartan looks and features, out of the box, you get a free note-taking app with sync. SN offers also a paid solution unless you don't feel up to it hosting it yourself and offers about 30 extensions at the moment to make your instance even more powerful than a simple notes app. Brilliant, just as Bitwarden setup is for passwords. You can host it yourself, preserving the data 100% on-site, access it anywhere from a web browser app connected to your server. From a modern minimalistic look to a full mobile and desktop app, along with 2FA support, FaceID, and super fast sync service that just works. Key features of Standard Notes More features can be unlocked with extensions (also free and covered by this tutorial)Īs you can see from the images above, SN offers a lot. Not another one of those notes apps am I, right? I mean we have Synology Note Station, a globally popular Evernote, Apple Notes, Bear app, and a million others, so what makes Standard Notes special? Notes? Who needs a notes app.?īefore I write a bit about why this article should make sense, in case you are not interested in what I have to say and are looking for the know-how of running this on your own Docker (Synology) platform, jump down to the "Requirements" section. ![]() WebApp - host your own WebApp SN instance UPDATE: - added self-hosted WebApp section at the end ( WebApp - host your own WebApp SN instance)Ĭonfigure reverse proxy access for secure HTTPS accessĬonnect your SN instance to official SN appsĮxtensions gallery not loading inside a web browser
