Standard Notes Docker Compose Deployment

Full stack Standard Notes deployment including the web app, and an NGINX reverse proxy to put the syncing server at the /api route so you only need one hostname.

There is also a GitLab CI configuration, which I set up to run on a schedule to keep the deployment up to date.

How to use this repository

1. Set up the environment

• Copy the example.env file to .env, or set up all variables from example.env in your CI/CD solution (take a look at .gitlab-ci.yml for hints, note that .env file must exist but can be empty if getting varaibles from CI).
• Change all the variables that are random strings, use openssl rand -hex 32 to generate values

2. Fetch the latest sources

• git submodule update --init --recursive
• git --git-dir ./web/.git pull origin main

3. Prepare the default extensions (optional)

• npm install --prefix ./web/public/extensions/batch-manager
• npm install --prefix ./web/public/extensions/extensions-manager

4. Deploy

• docker-compose build
• docker-compose up -d
