I am setting up my notes approach which is using dedicated apps on my devices plus syncthing.
I tried lots of tools like Joplin obsidian etc but are too overkill or had something I don't like.
So I am using markor on android and another dedicated app on Linux and so on.
I would like to add also a web app to edit the MD files directly on my server when I don't have any way to install syncthing or an editor app.
The web GUI would need to list the MD files local on the server and let me edit/view/save them. Upload and download is not required as I already have that setup via filebrowser.
Any hints?
Edit: to be clear, i am not looking for an IDE or anything fancy, i only need to edit some notes online on my server. I do not want to spin containers or deploy full VS solutions just for this, all i need is a web gui editor for MD with the capability to load files on the server
Second edit: i ended up selfhosting Silverbullet.md which made my day. Exactly what i was looking for, even more than that. Thanks all!

This looks amazing. I’m already using obsidian but if I’d found this first I probably would have started here.

I don't know any lightweight options, but as VS-Code was suggested, I'd like to suggest Hedgedoc too.

Yeah, looks interesting but way too overkill i guess?

Thanks, but not going to host a docker container just for such a stupid thing. Silverbullet.md did cut the cheese for me and it was even simpler.

There is a web version i beleive but they have support for basicly all platforms nativly.

You should be able to download via flathub too. It is self contained software but you can write to a Google or Dropbox directory and let that synch the files. I’m really a fan of logseq as well.

Maybe look into silverbullet?
Strit@lemmy.linuxuserspace.show · 2 pts · 2y
Silverbullet looks pretty easy to set up. Can you change the font and such it uses?
shnizmuffin@lemmy.inbutts.lol · 1 pts · 2y
Yes.
Shimitar@feddit.it · 2 pts · 2y
Yes! ended up using silverbullet.md. Just amazing.
rambos@lemm.ee · 1 pts · 2y
Maybe not the best option, but can you use FileBrowser for that as well?
Shimitar@feddit.it · 1 pts · 2y
Cool! I didn't noticed you could edit files from within it, but yes, that's a cool option as well. Silverbullet.md turned out to be more interesting though, so i have self hosted it too.

Nextcloud notes
Shimitar@feddit.it · 5 pts · 2y
Nah, moving away from NextCloud, it worked fine, but again overkill only for this
GravitySpoiled@lemmy.ml · 0 pts · 2y
Then just use syncthing

I already do, it's written in the opening post. I am looking for a webgui to edit markdown files on the server

How about using code-server and pointing it to your markdown folder? While it's a code editor, it also has built-in markdown preview. Installation is also easy and doesn't require docker.
upliftedduck@feddit.nl · 1 pts · 2y
You could try code-server? I use it daily to edit my markdown files.

Well, while much interesting indeed, i am not ready to install VSCode itself just for notes. I would prefer not to have the option to edit them online then.
