Yes, run docker compose up --build the first time, then use docker compose up for later starts. Skipping the build step on the first run can make the service fail to start. ### Can I expose Memos on my own domain with HTTPS? Yes, the documentation describes putting Memos behind a public domain with TLS and proxy headers. ### Which database engines can I use for self-hosting Memos? SQLite, MySQL, and PostgreSQL are supported. ### What should I read before upgrading Memos? Read the release changelog and the 0.31 upgrade notes before upgrading. ### Can I connect Memos to other tools through automation? Memos provides REST and gRPC APIs, and webhooks can connect it to the rest of your stack with event-driven automation. ### What security settings should I review when deploying Memos? The documentation recommends locking down authentication, public access, and deployment defaults. ## Alternatives - Anchor: Anchor is an offline-first, self-hostable note-taking application for people who want private, local notes with rich editing, tags, attachm… - Cosmos.so: Digital sanctuary for saving any web content, organizing into shareable clusters, rediscovering items with AI tagging, and discovering cura… - Google Keep: Multifunctional cross-device tool captures ideas, lists, voice/photo notes. - Joplin: Open source note-taking app with Markdown support, to-do integration, and synchronization with cloud services like Dropbox and OneDrive. - Kept Notes: Kept is an open-source, self-hosted notes application inspired by the simplicity of Google Keep. - Lockbook: End-to-end encrypted notes, sketches, and files synced across devices with no personal info collected, using open-source, native apps for p… - Obsidian: Obsidian is a local-first note-taking app for users who want to create, link, and organize notes with plugins and themes that customize the… - PrivacyNotes: End-to-end encrypted platform with zero-knowledge security for notes, tasks, files, diary entries, and password management. - Standard Notes: An end-to-end encrypted note-taking by Proton. - jotty·page: Self-hosted app for local checklists and notes with WYSIWYG editing, drag-and-drop reordering, Kanban boards, progress bars, Markdown, and… - mymind: All your ·notes· ·bookmarks·, ·inspiration· ·articles· and ·images· in one single, private place, enhanced with artificial intelligence. --- Source: Our Local Host (https://ourlocalhost.com/app/542/memos), the self-hosted and open-source app directory.
