The next version of Joplin Server (not yet released) will introduce a feature to share a notebook with other Joplin users on the same server. Implementing this correctly was tricky and unfortunately required a major architectural change in the way data is stored, and it means if you try to migrate from a version 1.x it won't work at all. Creating an automatic migration from v1 to v2 would have been error prone, with the risk of losing data, so instead the migration will have to be manual.
It's not too complicated but it does require re-uploading your data to the server. Here are the steps:
Sync all your notes, from all devices
From the desktop client, synchronise again to make sure you have your complete dataset
Export as JEX for backup
Upgrade the Docker image to v2
Upgrade the desktop client to v2
From the desktop client, go to Config > Synchronisation > Advanced, and click "Re-upload local data to sync target"
Synchronise and wait for it to complete.
Optionally, on the server, you might want to drop the "files" table to save space. Before, all Joplin data was in this table, but now it's in the "items" table, and the "files" table is no longer used so it's safe to drop it. It's not done automatically so that in case of a problem you can still get your data back from this table.
If you have any question, let me know. Note that this manual migration is exceptional and for future upgrades we'll be back to automatic migrations.
At the moment, not much else is planned for the server because I think there's still a bit of work to really complete the sharing feature. In particular it would be good to allow setting user permissions - like who can read, write or delete notes. Also support for E2EE while allowing sharing hasn't been implemented yet.
Is there any plan to build v2 for ARM64? @florider did it for v1, so it's possible
I just wondered if the "official" build will support it. I ask as the Raspberry Pi 4 is quite capable as a sync target server and there is a RasPiOS64 image available.
I assume that @JackGruber has given a better answer than I ever could!
I was just going by what Docker Hub shows about the two Joplin containers (yours and @florider)and the bug report on GitHub where someone reported the "official" container errors on ARM.
Happy to test a build on arm64 if it's not going to be officially supported as soon as the code's available on Github.
However, if the plan is to support it on the official image, I won't bother and just deprecate my image
Yes I'm trying it now. It seems to synchronises fine although I feel it's a bit slow but it could be my connection. You'll also need the desktop app v2 (now in pre-release) to sync with it.
