 ====== Silverbullet ====== ====== Silverbullet ======
  
 +[[https://silverbullet.md/|Silverbullet]] is an amazing and powerfull note taking app. It's actually incredibly more than that.
  
 +===== Installation =====
 +
 +As usual you need a dedicated user:
 +<code bash>
 useradd -d /data/daemons/silverbullet -m silverbullet -g users useradd -d /data/daemons/silverbullet -m silverbullet -g users
 +</code>
  
-umask 0002 in bashrc+Note that i am adding it to the **users** group because i want to share the notes (which are plain md files) via Syncthing later on.
  
-Download: +Set umask to 0002 in bashrc, so that any md files created by Silverbullet will also be accessible to all users in **users** group: 
-https://github.com/silverbulletmd/silverbullet/releases+<code bash> 
 +echo "umask 0002" >> /data/saemons/silverbullet/.bashrc 
 +</code>
  
-https://github.com/silverbulletmd/silverbullet/releases/download/0.7.5/silverbullet-server-linux-x86_64.zip+Now, just download the latest release from  [[https://github.com/silverbulletmd/silverbullet/releases|Github releases page]] and unzip it: 
 +<code bash> 
 +su - silverbullet 
 +wget 'https://github.com/silverbulletmd/silverbullet/releases/download/ [[[X.Y.Z]]] /silverbullet-server-linux-x86_64.zip'  
 +unzip silverbullet-server-linux-x86_64.zip  
 +</code>
  
- unzip silverbullet-server-linux-x86_64.zip +And you are all set! You will need to define a folder to store the notes, i will assume it's /home/notes, but you can pick your path, and a port, i assume will be 8001, for the reverse proxy.
  
-./silverbullet /data/common/willy/Notes/ --hostname 127.0.0.1 --port 8001+===== Reverse proxy ===== 
 + 
 +Silverbullet requires a dedicated subdomain, it will not work on subpath. I will assume it's **notes.mydomain.com**. Also, since Silverbullet do not manage authentication, i will show you how to use proxy authentication. Please refer to [[selfhost:nginx|The Reverse Proxy concept]] for more details, specially on how to setup dual access: without authentication from inside your home, and authenticated from outside. 
 + 
 +Here is the NGINX configuration file: 
 +<file - silverbullet.conf>
