## 🚀 Quick Start
### Running from GitHub Container Registry (Easiest & Recommended)
Use the pre-built image directly from GHCR - no building required!
> **💡 Tip**: Always use `ghcr.io/gamosoft/notediscovery:latest` to get the newest features and fixes.
> **📁 Important - Volume Mapping**: The container needs local folders/files to work:
> - **Required**: `data` folder - **Your personal notes** will be stored here (create an empty folder)
> - **Required**: `themes` folder with theme `.css` files (at least a single theme must exist)
> - **Required**: `plugins` folder (can be empty for basic functionality)
> - **Required**: `config.yaml` file (needed for the app to run)
> - **Optional**: `documentation` folder - If you cloned the repo, mount this to view app docs inside NoteDiscovery
>
> **Setup Options:**
>
> 1. **Minimal** (quick test - download just the essentials):
> ```bash
> # Linux/macOS
> mkdir -p data plugins themes # data/ is for YOUR notes
> curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gamosoft/notediscovery/main/config.yaml
> # Download at least light and dark themes
> curl -o themes/light.css https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gamosoft/notediscovery/main/themes/light.css
> curl -o themes/dark.css https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gamosoft/notediscovery/main/themes/dark.css
> ```
>
> ```powershell
> # Windows PowerShell
> mkdir data, plugins, themes -Force # data\ is for YOUR notes
> Invoke-WebRequest -Uri https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gamosoft/notediscovery/main/config.yaml -OutFile config.yaml
> # Download at least light and dark themes
> Invoke-WebRequest -Uri https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gamosoft/notediscovery/main/themes/light.css -OutFile themes/light.css
> Invoke-WebRequest -Uri https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gamosoft/notediscovery/main/themes/dark.css -OutFile themes/dark.css
> ```
>
> 2. **Full Setup** (recommended - includes all themes, plugins, and documentation):
> ```bash
> git clone https://github.com/gamosoft/notediscovery.git
> cd notediscovery
> # The data/ folder is empty - for your personal notes
> # The documentation/ folder has app docs you can optionally mount
> ```
> **🔐 Security Note**: Authentication is **disabled by default** with password `admin`.
> - ✅ **Local/Testing**: Default credentials are fine
> - ⚠️ **Public Network**: Change password immediately - see [AUTHENTICATION.md](documentation/AUTHENTICATION.md)
> - 🎭 **Demo Deployment**: Uses default "admin" password
**Option 1: Docker Compose (Recommended)**
> 💡 **Multi-Architecture Support**: Docker images are available for both `x86_64` and `ARM64` (Raspberry Pi, Apple Silicon, etc.)
### Quick Setup
**Linux/macOS:**
```bash
# Download the docker-compose file
curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gamosoft/notediscovery/main/docker-compose.ghcr.yml
# Or if you cloned the repo, just use it directly
docker-compose -f docker-compose.ghcr.yml up -d
# Access at http://localhost:8000
# Login with default password: admin
# View logs
docker-compose -f docker-compose.ghcr.yml logs -f
# Stop the application
docker-compose -f docker-compose.ghcr.yml down
```
**Option 2: Docker Run (Alternative)**
```bash
# Linux/macOS
docker run -d \
--name notediscovery \
-p 8000:8000 \
mkdir -p notediscovery/data && cd notediscovery
docker run -d --name notediscovery -p 8000:8000 \
-v $(pwd)/data:/app/data \
-v $(pwd)/plugins:/app/plugins \
-v $(pwd)/themes:/app/themes \
-v $(pwd)/locales:/app/locales \
-v $(pwd)/config.yaml:/app/config.yaml \
--restart unless-stopped \
ghcr.io/gamosoft/notediscovery:latest
```
**Windows (PowerShell):**
```powershell
# Windows PowerShell
docker run -d `
--name notediscovery `
-p 8000:8000 `
mkdir notediscovery\data; cd notediscovery
docker run -d --name notediscovery -p 8000:8000 `
-v ${PWD}/data:/app/data `
-v ${PWD}/plugins:/app/plugins `
-v ${PWD}/themes:/app/themes `
-v ${PWD}/locales:/app/locales `
-v ${PWD}/config.yaml:/app/config.yaml `
--restart unless-stopped `
ghcr.io/gamosoft/notediscovery:latest
```
Access at http://localhost:8000
Open **http://localhost:8000** — done! 🎉
**Why use the GHCR image?**
- ✅ No build time - instant deployment
- ✅ Always up-to-date with the latest release
- ✅ Tested and verified builds
- ✅ Smaller download with optimized layers
### Running with Docker Compose (Recommended for Development)
> 💡 Your notes are saved in `./data/`. Themes, plugins, locales and default configuration values are included in the image.
Docker ensures consistent environment and easy deployment:
### Using Docker Compose
Two docker-compose files are provided:
| File | Use Case |
|------|----------|
| `docker-compose.ghcr.yml` | **Recommended** - Uses pre-built image from GitHub Container Registry |
| `docker-compose.yml` | For development - Builds from local source |
**Option 1: Pre-built image (fastest)**
Linux/macOS:
```bash
mkdir -p notediscovery/data && cd notediscovery
curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gamosoft/notediscovery/main/docker-compose.ghcr.yml
docker-compose -f docker-compose.ghcr.yml up -d
```
Windows (PowerShell):
```powershell
mkdir notediscovery\data; cd notediscovery
Invoke-WebRequest -Uri https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gamosoft/notediscovery/main/docker-compose.ghcr.yml -OutFile docker-compose.ghcr.yml
docker-compose -f docker-compose.ghcr.yml up -d
```
**Option 2: Build from source (for development)**
```bash
# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/gamosoft/notediscovery.git
cd notediscovery
# Start with Docker Compose
docker-compose up -d
# Access at http://localhost:8000
# View logs
docker-compose logs -f
# Stop the application
docker-compose down
```
**Requirements:**
- Docker
- Docker Compose
See [Advanced Docker Setup](#advanced-docker-setup) for volume details.
### Running Locally (Without Docker)
@ -219,11 +146,20 @@ python run.py
- Python 3.8 or higher
- pip (Python package manager)
**Dependencies installed:**
- FastAPI - Web framework
- Uvicorn - ASGI server
- PyYAML - Configuration handling
- aiofiles - Async file operations
### Advanced Docker Setup
The image includes bundled config, themes, plugins, and locales. To customize, you must:
1. **Map the volume** in your docker-compose or docker run command
2. **Provide content** - the file/folder must exist with valid content (empty = app might break!)
| Volume | Purpose | Bundled? |
|--------|---------|----------|
| `data/` | Your notes | ❌ You must create |
| `config.yaml` | App settings | ✅ Yes |
| `themes/` | Custom themes | ✅ Yes |
| `plugins/` | Custom plugins | ✅ Yes |
| `locales/` | Translations | ✅ Yes |
