a docker image is now available.  
build it

```auto
docker build -t foxmask/joplin-web .

```

then launch it like this

```auto
docker run -it --network host -p 8001:8001 --rm --name foxmask-joplin-web-1 --mount type=bind,source="/home/foxmask/.config/joplin-desktop/database.sqlite",target=/home/foxmask/.config/joplin-desktop/database.sqlite foxmask/joplin-web

after that docker image, I'm working [on a technical migration](https://github.com/foxmask/joplin-web/issues/17) you can follow 😉

Hi, i’m looking for a way to publish the project the easiest way  
So If you have knowledge to build a appimage (and/or the other OS supported by Joplin) let met know. I try to “package” the project from that folder only [https://github.com/foxmask/joplin-web/tree/master/joplin\_web](https://github.com/foxmask/joplin-web/tree/master/joplin_web)

May be that would be a possibility to use Joplin from Nextcloud ?

Until yesterday, to be able to use `Joplin-Web`, We had to install it on a workstation (because we need to access to the webclipper service)

Now, joplin can be run headless with:

```auto
joplin --profile ~/.config/joplin-desktop/ server start
Server is already running on port 41184

```

just after having update the joplin terminal version by

```auto
NPM_CONFIG_PREFIX=~/.joplin-bin npm install -g joplin

```

This allow you, now, to install the project on a dedicated server near your joplin resources 😉

Thanks to @laurent !

Thanks for the Web app for Joplin, it looks very promising.

For those interested to test, there is docker-compose.yml to get both backend and frontend quickly running.

This solution run 2 dockers images, where I just run one.  
I build the VueJS part, then I can run one docker with the front (VueJS) and back (python) in same times.

</div>

I just did not want to build the VueJS part on my server before creating your docker image and therefore I use the other image to do the job (which is easy to delete and provides a http server for testing).  
In either case, the alpine based images are quite small (less then 300 MB both).

For production, I may merge with nginx and joplin app to a single docker image (it is on head-less server) and use an nginx proxy for SSL and simple user authentication.

@foxmask - okay, my bad.

I did not get the point of how the VueJS part and joplin\_web relate to each other, that VueJS production build is already included in joplin\_web and I eventually over-complicated things.

Nevermind, the Dockerfile & docker-compose.yml is now [updated](https://github.com/archont00/joplin-web-docker) to produce a single image including also joplin terminal app (taking care about Web Clipper service and syncing).

i compared your solution with 2 dockers where I run just once. It's up to you to do the way you want. There is no rules written in the stone 😉

Hi all,

I’ve successfully installing the Joplin Web. I would like to access my remote webdav folder. I use [davfs](https://manpages.debian.org/stretch/davfs2/mount.davfs.8.en.html) to mount the remote folder. So this way the desktop application and the web application accessing the same file.

The mount works well. When I try to access my note book through the web app nothing appears.

Is davfs the right way to perform this action ?

Yes sure, I also specified the mount point of the davfs with the `--profile` option. This where my joplin data are stored.

I'm not in a docker. I instalI it the old way.

I tried both with `sudo` and without here is the log without `sudo`:

> pi@Ploutos:~$ joplin --profile /home/pi/joplin-desktop server start  
> Fatal error:

With `sudo`:

you shouldn’t need to use sudo so first of all

```auto
sudo chown pi:pi -R /home/pi/joplin-desktop/tmp

```

then

```auto
joplin --profile /home/pi/joplin-desktop server start

```

what triggers the log about `/tags/?token=xxx` ?  
you browser ?  
can you reproduce the error with curl ?

```auto
curl -XGET http://127.0.0.1:41184/tags/?token=xxx

```

Thanks for the idea of the `chown`. Now the joplin start without error messge except the token issue.

I tried via `curl` and I have the same issue. I copy/pasted the web clipper token from one of my desktop app. Was it the right thing to do ?
