[5 Minutes Docker] Deploy Memos to Record Your Life

[5 Minutes Docker] Deploy Memos to Record Your Life

Memos is a Github project which you can deploy it easily in 5 minutes and use it ro record some of your thinking, or record some interesting things. In this post, I am going to show you a couple of ways to deploy it quickly and easily. 

• ? Easy to record daily/weekly plan
• ? Convenient to record some whimsical ideas
• ? You can write your reflections by hand
• ?️ Sometimes it can replace the "file transfer assistant" often used on WeChat, the memo of the mobile phone
• ? You can create your own lightweight "card" notebook

Features

•  Open source and free forever
•  Support for self-hosting with Docker in seconds
•  Plain textarea first and support some useful Markdown syntax
•  Set memo private or public to others
•  RESTful API for self-service
•  Embed memos on other sites using iframe
•  Hashtags for organizing memos
•  Interactive calendar view
•  Easy data migration and backups

Deploy with Docker Run Command

Check if Port 5230 Used 

lsof -i:5230  #Check if tcp port 5230 occupied by other application. 

If the output shows command not found, you can use following command to install lsof

• apt install lsof

Docker Run

docker run -d --name memos -p 5230:5230 -v ~/.memos/:/var/opt/memos neosmemo/memos:latest

~/.memos/ will be used as the data directory in your machine and /var/opt/memos is the directory of the volume in Docker and should not be modified.

Upgrade:

docker stop memos
docker rm -f memos
cp -r /root/data/docker_data/memos/.memos /root/data/docker_data/memos/.memos.archive  # backup data
docker pull neosmemo/memos:latest  # pull latest image

docker run -it -d \
  --name memos \
  --publish 5230:5230 \
  --volume /root/data/docker_data/memos/.memos/:/var/opt/memos \
  neosmemo/memos:latest \
  --mode prod \
  --port 5230

Access application using http://<public ip>:5230

You can find your public ip using the following commands :

• curl ip.sb

Deploy Using Docker Compose File

 

• vi docker-compose.yaml 

version: "3.0"
services:
  memos:
    image: neosmemo/memos:latest
    container_name: memos
    volumes:
      - ~/.memos/:/var/opt/memos
    ports:
      - 5230:5230

• docker-compose up -d

Upgrade to latest version memos

• docker-compose down && docker image rm neosmemo/memos:latest && docker-compose up -d

cd /root/data/docker_data/memos
docker-compose down 
cp -r /root/data/docker_data/memos/.memos /root/data/docker_data/memos/.memos.archive  # backup

docker-compose pull

docker-compose up -d 

docker image prune  # prune comand to clearn up not used docker images。Delete all images not been tagged or not been used by docker container.

Remove / Uninstall memos application

docker stop memos

docker rm -f memos  # remove container memos, but will not delete mapped volumes

rm -rf /root/data/docker_data/memos  # remove all mapped volumes

Deploy To Fly.io 

 https://github.com/hu3rror/memos-on-fly

• Follow the instructions to install fly's command-line interface flyctl.
• log into flyctl.

1 flyctl auth login

2 flyctl launch

This command creates a fly.toml file.

3 Edit your fly.toml

# fly.toml file generated for memos

app = "memos_example"                                               # change to whatever name you want if the name is not occupied

  LITESTREAM_REPLICA_ENDPOINT = "<filled_later>"  # change to your litestream endpoint url
  LITESTREAM_REPLICA_PATH = "memos_prod.db"  # keep the default or change to whatever path you want

flyctl volumes create memos_data --region <your_region> --size <size_in_gb>

For example:

flyctl volumes create memos_data --region hkg --size 1

[mounts]
  source="memos_data"
  destination="/var/opt/memos"
