A networked note-taking app which is open and self-hosting, inspired by roam-research and others.

A public demo

• typical rails environment, plus postgresql and redis.

The app loads environment variables and behaves accordingly. It uses dotenv to loads values from files (e.g. .env, .env.development.local, .env.production). Platforms like heroku also allow you to set env variables in the configuration panel.

The app loads password from ENV['PASSWORD'], which is password by default, as defined in .env.

To enable performance analytics by skylight, set environment vars SKYLIGHT_ENABLED=true and SKYLIGHT_AUTHENTICATION=YOUR_TOKEN.

To enable sentry for error tracking, set an environment var SENTRY_DSN=YOUR_SENTRY_DSN.

For security reasons (i.e. deploy this repo directly), secret_key_base will be randomized every time the server restarts, that includes upgrading to a new version. User may have to do a refresh in browser.
