Trilium Docker Container

Trilium is a hierarchical note-taking application designed for building and managing personal knowledge bases. It offers a rich set of features for organizing information through a tree-like structure of notes with support for various content types.

Overview​

Trilium Notes can be deployed as a Docker container, making it easy to run on any system that supports Docker. The containerized version provides both desktop and server modes, allowing users to access their notes locally or from multiple devices through a web interface.

Key Features​

  • Hierarchical note organization with tree structure
  • Rich text editing with WYSIWYG editor
  • Support for code notes with syntax highlighting
  • Relation maps and link visualization
  • Note attributes and scripting capabilities
  • File attachments and image embedding
  • Synchronization across devices
  • Encryption for sensitive notes
  • Calendar and daily notes functionality

Running Trilium in Docker​

To run Trilium using Docker, you can use the official Trilium Docker image. Here's a basic example to start the container:

docker run -d \
  -p 8080:8080 \
  -v /path/to/trilium/data:/home/node/trilium-data \
  --name trilium \
  zadam/trilium:latest

This command runs Trilium in detached mode, mapping port 8080 inside the container to port 8080 on the host machine, and mounts a volume for data persistence.

Accessing Trilium​

Once the container is running, you can access Trilium through your web browser at:

http://<host-ip>:8080

For example, if running locally:

http://localhost:8080

Configuration and Data Persistence​

To ensure your notes persist across container restarts, it's important to mount a volume for the data directory:

docker run -d \
  -p 8080:8080 \
  -v /path/to/trilium/data:/home/node/trilium-data \
  --name trilium \
  zadam/trilium:latest

Replace /path/to/trilium/data with a directory on your host where Trilium can store its data.

Summary​

The Trilium Docker container provides a convenient way to run this powerful note-taking application. Its hierarchical organization system, rich text editing, and synchronization features make it an excellent choice for personal knowledge management. The Docker deployment method ensures easy setup and portability across different environments.
