What issue do you have?

Using linux arch.
I would like to use web clipper to be able to send web pages to my self hosted instance of joplin.
On laptop with 16G ram the joplin desktop does not build because of lack ram...
Managed to install joplin CLI, conected to my server but cannot find config option to enable webclipper
The webclipper is not working, how to fix it?

How is your setup? How you start Joplin on your server?

Not sure what you meen “how”…

You need to know the docker compose?

services:
    joplin-db:
        image: "postgres:{{postgres_version}}"
        volumes:
            - "{{joplin_db_location}}/pg_data/:/var/lib/postgresql/data/"
        ports:
            - "{{postgres_port}}:5432"

        restart: unless-stopped
        environment:
            - "POSTGRES_PASSWORD={{postgres_password}}"
            - "POSTGRES_USER={{postgres_user}}"
            - "POSTGRES_DB={{postgres_db}}"
        networks:
            - joplin-network
    joplin-server:
        image: "joplin/server:{{joplin_version}}"
        depends_on:
            - joplin-db
        ports:
            - "22300:22300"
        restart: unless-stopped
        environment:
            - APP_PORT=22300
            - "APP_BASE_URL={{app_base_url}}"
            - DB_CLIENT=pg
            - "POSTGRES_DATABASE={{postgres_db}}"
            - "POSTGRES_USER={{postgres_user}}"
            - "POSTGRES_PASSWORD={{postgres_password}}"
            - POSTGRES_PORT=5432
            - POSTGRES_HOST=joplin-db
            - "MAILER_ENABLED={{mailer_enabled}}"
            - "MAILER_HOST={{mailer_host}}"
            - "MAILER_PORT={{mailer_port}}"
            - MAILER_SECURITY=starttls
            - "MAILER_AUTH_USER={{mailer_auth_user}}"
            - "MAILER_AUTH_PASSWORD={{mailer_auth_password}}"
            - MAILER_NOREPLY_NAME=Joplin
            - "MAILER_NOREPLY_EMAIL={{mailer_auth_user}}"
            - "STORAGE_DRIVER=Type=Filesystem; Path=/data"
        volumes:
            - "{{joplin_data_location}}:/data"
        networks:
            - joplin-network
            - proxy-network

networks:
    proxy-network:
        external: true
    joplin-network:
        name: joplin-network
        driver: bridge

and

docker compose up -d

Ok I thought you were doing something else. Joplin Server doesn't support the web clipper so it's normal it doesn't work. Maybe you could get it working by running the desktop app on the server, then putting a proxy in front of it, but I wouldn't know how to set that up

Thanks for responding.
The problem is I cannot figure out how to enter the IP of the desktop app in web clipper. I have it working on desktop (another machine) and clipper showing “Service status: Ready on port 41184” but there is no way to provide the IP. Any hints?

The real pain is that the clipper needs desktop app running and cannot connect to server directly, so installing the app on server would be great option.
