# Memex

memex is an easy way to digitize the structured processes of your life.

- Notes: Document notes about individual items or concepts
- Contexts: Provide context around a single topic and hotlink to individual
  concepts in your notes
- Pipelines: Document your processes, attaching contexts to each step.

# Features

- Multi-user: Built with sharing and collaboration in mind
- Privacy: Privacy controls on a per-note, context or pipeline basis
- Convenient: Accessible from any internet-capable device

# Installation

1. Install [Docker Compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/) or alternatively [Docker Desktop](https://docs.docker.com/desktop/) on your machine.
1. Copy the example [docker-compose.yml](https://gitea.bubbletea.dev/shibao/memex/src/branch/stable/docker-compose.yml). into your local machine where you want.
   Bind mounts are created in the same directory by default.
1. Set the configuration variables in `docker-compose.yml`. You'll need to run
   `docker run -it shibaobun/memex /app/priv/random.sh` to generate a new
   secret key base.
1. Use `docker-compose up` or `docker-compose up -d` to start the container!

The first created user will be created as an admin.
