Appreciate hearing about your experience 👍 I dont use any of those tools, but self host a complex setup, and is always good to hear how people operate and resolve issues, even if it is luck that saves the day 👍

I’ve had a domain with a dynamic up for over a year with no problems. I have a simple script that runs every 30mins to check if my IP has changed, then updates the DNS records when required.

Cool. I’ll add the android source code to the repo when I get chance 👍

Yeah, it’s entirely online only. And no e2ee, just relies on web server encryption like SSL.

The android, windows and Linux app use propriety parts, the android app is a web view app built in android studio, the Linux and windows apps are just electron apps. I have all the source code I used to build them on my pc, but I didn’t create a repo for them. go-notes is fully open source with the backend in go, the clients are just extremely basic frontends.

Edit

Just gone and checked and all the electron apps source code is in my repo, so the Linux and windows apps you can build yourself from the code. I can upload the android code from android studio if you want as well?

I built a fully open source multi-user live collaboration notes app, self host with docker, serve at root or a subpath, has an android, windows and Linux client app, plus the usual web UI.

You don’t need a dashboard. Think of it as just a database. And then other apps interact with it. On my android phone I have davx5 which does all the syncing of things like calendar and contacts. Setting up and syncing with davx5 is the easy bit. The hard bit is getting authentication working and creating the databases. Mine works perfectly but I couldn’t tell you how I set it up. If I want to add another calendar or contacts list to it Id have to go and figure it all out again.

Exactly for what you want it for. I’ve been using it about 3 months. Contacts and calender. It’s a real pain to set up. Not straight forward. I didn’t a lot of time with ai as could not get my head round the guide.
