backup.sh now supports BACKUP_REMOTE_RSYNC alongside BACKUP_REMOTE. The rsync path writes <root>/YYYY-MM-DD/<archive> on the target with --link-dest pointing at the previous day's directory, so unchanged archives become hard links and daily snapshots cost almost zero extra bytes. BACKUP_REMOTE_SSH_KEY routes the rsync ssh leg to a dedicated identity (e.g. rsync.net restricted accounts). Timer moved to 03:00 Europe/Berlin (was 03:17 UTC) per #41. docs/operations.md: full restore procedure (parallel stack first, then atomic swap) plus the rsync vs rclone trade-off. Closes most of #41 — the only remaining task is the operator's choice of off-host target.
librenotes
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.
