Joplin server (WIP)

[laurent22]

The short term goal is to develop a new type of sync target, like Dropbox, Nextcloud, etc. but specifically for Joplin. It will be an open source option that's more performant than Nextcloud (or WebDAV in general).

Once it's working it will allow implementing features that are currently missing in Joplin, in particular:

• Sharing a note with anyone, using a URL. When the note is changed, the content at the URL is changed too.

• Sharing a notebook with a user on the same Joplin Server instance. For example, if you share a notebook with another user, that user will see this notebook in their desktop or mobile app, and will be able to edit the notes, etc.

Although it's not really planned, if there's ever a Joplin web app, this server would be the starting point for it.

Is there an architecture document (+ specs and reqs) for the server code?

[laurent22]

No, at the moment there's only the readme.

It would be great if the Joplin server could also be provided as a Docker image, for a novice like me.

Hi there!

I'm confused. Is there a centralized Joplin Server in existence that I can target? Or do I have to host it?

Thanks!

It would be self-hosted. There is no "public" Joplin Server hosted by the devs. However, you can use something like Dropbox or Nextcloud as a sync target.

There is a docker image named “Joplin Server,” which has been provided since January, and it needs to be self-hosted. I remember the developer also considers offering a centralized server in the future.

For the self-hosted Joplin Server, refer to the following:
