A few days ago I [posted on my other blog](https://srsbsns.lol/is-silverbullet-the-note-keeping-silver-bullet/) about trying out [SilverBullet](https://silverbullet.md), an open-source self-hosted web-based note-keeping app. SilverBullet has continued to impress me as I use it and learn more about its [features](https://silverbullet.md/SilverBullet@1992). It really fits my multi-device use case much better than Obsidian ever did (even with its paid sync plugin).
|
|
|
|
In that post, I shared a brief overview of how I set up SilverBullet:
|
|
|
|
> I deployed my instance in Docker alongside both a [Tailscale sidecar](/tailscale-serve-docker-compose-sidecar/) and [Cloudflare Tunnel sidecar](/publish-services-cloudflare-tunnel/). This setup lets me easily access/edit/manage my notes from any device I own by just pointing a browser at `https://silverbullet.tailnet-name.ts.net/`. And I can also hit it from any *other* device by using the public Cloudflare endpoint which is further protected by an email-based TOTP challenge. Either way, I don't have to worry about installing a bloated app or managing a complicated sync setup. Just log in and write.
|
|
|
|
This post will go into a bit more detail about the configuration.
|
|
|
|
### Docker Prep
|
|
I chose to deploy SilverBullet on an Ubuntu 22.04 VM in my [homelab](/homelab/) which was already set up for serving Docker workloads so I'm not going to cover the Docker [installation process](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/ubuntu/) here. I tend to run my Docker workloads out of `/opt/` so I started this journey by creating a place to hold the SilverBullet setup:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
sudo mkdir -p /opt/silverbullet # [tl! .cmd]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
I set up appropriate ownership of the folder and then entered it:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
sudo chown john:docker /opt/silverbullet # [tl! .cmd:1]
|
|
cd /opt/silverbullet
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
