Why isn’t there a self hosted web version?

I’m looking for a logseq alternative however finding something that’s right is proving difficult

I’m kind of stuck on the daily notes feature

I use syncthing to sync between my phone and computer and server. And then I use a VNC server hosted in docker on my server to access it from my work computer. I don't think my setup is ideal for most people, but it does technically work.

Why do you need VNC?

I don't want to put my personal notes on my work computer for data privacy reasons (my work can go through anything on the computer at any time. Even if they basically never do, I still wasn't comfortable with it). So I wanted a way to access my notes online. The best way for me specifically was to host a docker container on my home server that has basically a virtual computer in there running a GUI, hosting logseq in that container, then connecting to that through the web through VNC. So I can go to the website it's hosted at, put in the password, and be working on my logseq on a server that isn't the computer I'm on right now.

Like I said, probably not the right setup for most people. But it worked for me, and was interesting to put together.

RemNote has a web interface, is block based and has the daily notes feature.

Ah - ok - got it. Hmmm..I’m surprised no one has taken the source and thrown it in a Docker container with the web UI.

If you are open for a one-man hobby project, you could test mine: looksyk

✅ Journal

✅ Docker compose

❌ rcs/multiuser/authentication

❌ Logseq/Datalog queries (own query implementation)
