mdNotes

Some stupid simple way to share rendred Markdown documents

The extension choosen is .md. You can read more about the syntax here:
http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax

The files are stored inside the data/ folder.

For content that you want to embed (like images), put them in the data/ folder and reference them like that: ![Embedded picture](/data/pic.jpg)

Please note that this documentation focuses on installations where mdNotes is used at the root of the domain.
Do your research to use in a subfolder and adapt the /assets paths.

Installation

  • You'll need to have a working PHP environment and web server.
    Please use at least PHP 8.0.
  • Get a copy of this project:
    Either with git clone https://git.rita.moe/kody/mdNotes.git
    or download a ZIP archive.
  • Configure your web server to point to the mdNotes folder.

URL Rewriting

By default, you have to use URLs like https://n.kdy.ch/?f=example
or https://n.kdy.ch/index.php?f=example.
With some rewriting we can make it prettier, like https://n.kdy.ch/example

Nginx Config

Add or edit the location / {} inside your server {} block, next to with your other properties (listen, server_name, root, index, php, ...) to include this try_files:

location / {
    # Try to load as a file, a directory, or route it to index.php
    try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php;
}

Apache2

Your vHost should have AllowOverride All inside its <Directory /path/to/folder/> node.

Enable mod_rewrite with a2enmode rewrite and restart Apache2.

Then, the .htaccess distributed here should work.

How to add and open a file

For this example we'll use doc.md as the file and https://n.kdy.ch as the base URL.

  • Upload your .md file inside the data/ folder.
  • Type the base URL where the index.php is, i.e. https://n.kdy.ch/, and append ?f=doc to it. The .md extension is optional.
    The URL should now looks like https://n.kdy.ch/?f=doc.
    If you have URL rewriting set, https://n.kdy.ch/doc should work!
