libretechandClaude Opus 4.7 84a2116bc5 Add user guide, self-hosting, API, and contributing docs
docs/user-guide.md — magic-link sign-in, note basics, wikilink
syntax, keyboard shortcuts, offline behaviour, and privacy
notes (sessionStorage for tokens, tenant-scoped localStorage).

docs/self-hosting.md — system requirements, Docker Compose
quick-start, the full LIBRENOTES_* env-var matrix (which are
required, which conditional), reverse proxy snippets for Caddy
and nginx, volume layout, the in-binary healthcheck, and
update/rollback procedure.

docs/api.md — every public endpoint: auth (login/verify),
notes CRUD, /api/whoami, /healthz. Status codes per endpoint,
the optimistic-locking ?base=<unix> contract for PUT/DELETE,
note-ID regex, and the rate-limit policy.

CONTRIBUTING.md — dev setup (Nix flake .#dev, plain Go, Docker),
package layout overview, coding standards (one-way dep flow,
tenant FS gateway requirement), branch naming, commit format,
and the PR process. Also points security reports at
security@librete.ch rather than public issues.

Closes #29.

librenotes

CI

Cloud-native, multi-tenant notes application. A fork of Notesium extended with authentication, per-user data isolation, sync, and PWA support so it can run as a hosted service at librenot.es.

Features

  • Markdown notes with bi-directional links (Zettelkasten / evergreen notes)
  • Embedded web app — no Electron, no Node runtime, single static binary
  • Multi-tenant backend with magic-link authentication (in development)
  • Offline-capable PWA with background sync (planned, Phase 4)

Build

Requires Go 1.20 or later.

go build ./cmd/librenotes

This produces a librenotes binary in the current directory. The web frontend and shell completion are embedded into the binary at compile time, so no extra files are needed at runtime.

A Makefile with build, test, run, and clean targets is provided for convenience:

make build
make test

Run

./librenotes web --notes-dir ~/notes

See ./librenotes help for the full command list.

Development setup

A Nix flake provides a reproducible development environment with Go, build tools, and the project CLIs. Use the plain dev shell for a non-sandboxed Go toolchain:

nix develop .#dev

Alternatively, build a Docker-based dev environment:

docker build -f Dockerfile.dev -t librenotes-dev .
docker run --rm -it -v "$PWD:/workspace" librenotes-dev

The repository layout follows the standard Go project structure:

cmd/librenotes/      Binary entry point
internal/notesium/   Core notes package (forked from Notesium)
internal/notesium/web/   Embedded frontend assets

The Go module path is git.librete.ch/public/librenotes.
