HackMD lets you create realtime collaborative markdown notes on all platforms.
Inspired by Hackpad, with more focus on speed and flexibility.
Still in the early stage, feel free to fork or contribute to HackMD.
Thanks for using! :smile:

# Installation
## Getting started (Native install)
### Prerequisite
- Node.js 6.x or up (test up to 7.5.0)
- Database (PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, SQLite, MSSQL) use charset `utf8`
- npm (and its dependencies, especially [uWebSockets](https://github.com/uWebSockets/uWebSockets#nodejs-developers), [node-gyp](https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp#installation))
### Instructions
1. Download a release and unzip or clone into a directory
2. Enter the directory and type `bin/setup`, which will install npm dependencies and create configs. The setup script is written in Bash, you would need bash as a prerequisite.
3. Setup the configs, see more below
4. Setup environment variables which will overwrite the configs
5. Build front-end bundle by `npm run build` (use `npm run dev` if you are in development)
6. Run the server as you like (node, forever, pm2)
## Heroku Deployment
You can quickly setup a sample heroku hackmd application by clicking the button below.
[![Deploy](https://www.herokucdn.com/deploy/button.svg)](https://heroku.com/deploy)
## HackMD by docker container
[![Try in PWD](https://cdn.rawgit.com/play-with-docker/stacks/cff22438/assets/images/button.png)](http://play-with-docker.com?stack=https://github.com/hackmdio/docker-hackmd/raw/master/docker-compose.yml&stack_name=hackmd)
**Debian-based version:**
[![latest](https://images.microbadger.com/badges/version/hackmdio/hackmd.svg)](https://microbadger.com/images/hackmdio/hackmd "Get your own version badge on microbadger.com") [![](https://images.microbadger.com/badges/image/hackmdio/hackmd.svg)](https://microbadger.com/images/hackmdio/hackmd "Get your own image badge on microbadger.com")
**Alpine-based version:**
[![latest-alpine](https://images.microbadger.com/badges/version/hackmdio/hackmd:latest-alpine.svg)](https://microbadger.com/images/hackmdio/hackmd:latest-alpine "Get your own version badge on microbadger.com") [![](https://images.microbadger.com/badges/image/hackmdio/hackmd:latest-alpine.svg)](https://microbadger.com/images/hackmdio/hackmd:latest-alpine "Get your own image badge on microbadger.com")
The easiest way to setup HackMD using docker are using the following three commands:
```console
git clone https://github.com/hackmdio/docker-hackmd.git
cd docker-hackmd
docker-compose up
```
Read more about it in the [docker repository…](https://github.com/hackmdio/docker-hackmd)
# Upgrade
## Native setup
If you are upgrading HackMD from an older version, follow these steps:
1. Fully stop your old server first (important)
2. `git pull` or do whatever that updates the files
3. `npm install` to update dependencies
4. Build front-end bundle by `npm run build` (use `npm run dev` if you are in development)
5. Modify the file named `.sequelizerc`, change the value of the variable `url` with your db connection string
For example: `postgres://username:password@localhost:5432/hackmd`
6. Run `node_modules/.bin/sequelize db:migrate`, this step will migrate your db to the latest schema
7. Start your whole new server!
* [migration-to-0.5.0](https://github.com/hackmdio/migration-to-0.5.0)
We don't use LZString to compress socket.io data and DB data after version 0.5.0.
Please run the migration tool if you're upgrading from the old version.
* [migration-to-0.4.0](https://github.com/hackmdio/migration-to-0.4.0)
We've dropped MongoDB after version 0.4.0.
So here is the migration tool for you to transfer the old DB data to the new DB.
This tool is also used for official service.

## Operational Transformation
From 0.3.2, we started supporting operational transformation.
It makes concurrent editing safe and will not break up other users' operations.
Additionally, now can show other clients' selections.
