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 or alternatively Docker Desktop on your machine.
  2. Copy the example docker-compose.yml. into your local machine where you want. Bind mounts are created in the same directory by default.
  3. 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.
  4. Use docker-compose up or docker-compose up -d to start the container!

The first created user will be created as an admin.
