What issue do you have?

i need to have joplin app running in background in order to save teh webpage with web clipper.

it would be nice to be able to do it without having the app running in background (or maybe launch the app automatically)

Hi, have you tried using the Joplin terminal instance ? It's exactly the same as Joplin Desktop. You can:

• Have a script to start it automatically in background on machine booting
• Run it in Docker with restart policy
  That's the easiest thing you can do.

I think the above setup is simple and sufficient enough. I had a post on forum asking about another approach here, but looks like it's unnecessary

[Suggestion] Web clipper that doesn't need Data API (Joplin Client)

Hi, I have this idea of using web clipper extension to save directly to cloud storage, so it dont require Joplin to run on background in Desktop. For example Web Clipper extension save directly to WebDav server of your Jopin storage I would appreciate your opinions on whether it is helpful? Thank you.
