HackMD

Standard - JavaScript Style Guide

Join the chat at https://gitter.im/hackmdio/hackmd build status version

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! 😄

Table of Contents

Browsers Requirement

  • Chrome Chrome >= 47, Chrome for Android >= 47
  • Safari Safari >= 9, iOS Safari >= 8.4
  • Firefox Firefox >= 44
  • IE IE >= 9, Edge >= 12
  • Opera Opera >= 34, Opera Mini not supported
  • Android Browser >= 4.4

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, node-gyp)

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

HackMD by docker container

Try in PWD

Debian-based version:

latest

Alpine-based version:

latest-alpine

The easiest way to setup HackMD using docker are using the following three commands:

git clone https://github.com/hackmdio/docker-hackmd.git
cd docker-hackmd
docker-compose up

Read more about it in the docker repository…

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!

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.

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. See more at http://operational-transformation.github.io/
