I currently keep my notes and to-do lists in notepad and would love to switch to something self-hosted.

I know this has been asked 1,000 times but don’t see anything in those posts that fits my needs so figured why not make it 1,001.

Looking for:

  • Web based. So I can access it on any device on my network with a browser.
  • good WYSIWYG editor
  • some form of data hierarchy like folders
  • truly self-hosted, no external accounts or s3 buckets needed.
  • some form of auth
  • runs in Docker

I’ve tried BookStack and don’t like the way data is structured and wikijs seems solid but the WYSIWYG editor and folder structure aren’t good imo and neither support to-do lists of any sort.

There doesn’t seem to be any self-hosted tool to do these.

    It’s getting a bit older. But I use Zim on Linux for Year now. It’s a text editor similar to a personal WIKI. You do have options to create a Todo List with Checkbox. It support a couple of plugin too.

    The only draw back: it’s a desktop application.

    Take a look: https://zim-wiki.org/

    I have recently switched to the markdown editor Obsidian, r/ObsidianMD. It’s just markdown files, so you can access them anywhere if you have them saved in a cloud folder. Finding your files can be done easily with tags or links, which is very useful. There are also a ton of plugins which enhance Obsidian significantly, for instance Dataview.
