Joplin app

[sttrebo]

I have been using Joplin a while now instead of the Notes app. it's a bit more powerful and has additional features that make it a nice Evernote alternative. I was currious if there was a way to get it running on Syncloud. Since Syncloud is Debian based, I found this article. Granted this talks about Rasberry Pi and I'm not sure of the differences, but would love to see this if it's doable.

thanks

Looks good, if you want you can help us you can try porting it using our docs here:
https://github.com/syncloud/platform/wiki/App-porting-guide and I can help you.

i'll give it a shot, thanks for the help. i did find that there is already a snap package available for it. i'm assuming i can start with that and modify it?

more or less, there are few differences like we do not use snapcraft high level build tool
Added a section about it:

This app does not really have a backend, it can save to various backends like nextcloud. Not sure what can we do, we help with automating backends with or without web installs.

If someone can find a good backend/server app for jopling we can reopen it.

sorry, never seem to have the time to try it myself. but here is a link to their server app info.
Joplin server
maybe worth a look? if not, i've been using it with my nextcloud install and it's been pretty flawless.

ok, there is a server: https://github.com/laurent22/joplin/tree/dev/packages/server
Google found few screenshots but it looks like it is very basic for syncing the notes, does not have any ldap looks like.

correct, there was some discussions a year ago or so to implement this SSO but i think it was put on hold as being too much effort to do/maintain. not sure if there's a workaround for this unfortunately.
