## Features

- 🏢 Multi-user

- ✍️ Effective and distraction free notemaking

- 🖋 Plaintext or markdown

- 🔐 Secure authentication and session management

- 🌱 Extremely simple to self-host

- 🌲 Extremely light on resources

- 🍃 Extremely lightweight on the browser

- ⚒️ Simple configuration (read [more here](./CONFIG.md))

## Getting started

1. First, install `docker-compose` by following the instructions [here](https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/)

2. Run this:

   ```sh

   mkdir jotsy && cd jotsy && wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ohsayan/jotsy/next/docker-compose.yml && sudo docker-compose up -d

   ```

3. Open your browser and head to http://localhost:2022

If you're having issues, consider reading the [configuration guide](./CONFIG.md).

## Updating to the latest release

To update to the latest release (don't worry, you won't lose any data), run this:

```sh

cd jotsy && sudo docker pull ohsayan/jotsy:latest && sudo docker-compose up -d

```

This will pull the latest Jotsy image, stop the existing instance, rebuild the container and start it up again.
