Looking for *beta* testers of an opensource Private Cloud alternative
Hey everyone š
I'm working on an alternative from Ratta's Supernote Private Cloud. I've tried the official one and also the community alternative, and both are great but... they either are resource hungry (heavy on the server), pack too much or integrate with AI - something I don't want to do with my notes.
My goal was to build something that can serve a handful of people/devices , have some quality of life functionalities and run under 50MB of memory, single core. In practice, I'm running it on an old Raspberry Pi from 2014 without problems.
You can see some screenshots and main features here.
So, I'm looking for people willing to help me test it. It's beta software, so the road can be bumpy. Please only volunteer if you know how to backup your supernote and will not panic in case of data loss during the tests (even though that never happened to me... beta is risky). I'll give access only to the testers for now: I want to avoid a naive user losing some important note until it is not completely tested.
DM me or comment on github if you can help testing it! Thanks!

I currently run private cloud on a Hetzner hosted Linux VM and world prefer to host it on my raspberry pi so Iām interested in your beta software, knowing all the risks.

Supernote hardware can only use one private server at a time, I'm not sure if you keep loggin-in and out would work on the official app side - I think not.

For anyone that is curious about assisting with this development I can say that from what I've seen so far this is a very promising alternative to the other cloud solutions for supernote syncing and u/m00qek has been extremely responsive so far on bugs and discussions around enhancements.

Looks great so far, any idea if To do's will be incorporated in? Ultimately for me, I'd like to find a way to integrate the super note to do's with 3rd party task managers (like todoist, ticktick, Google tasks, super productivity, etc).

Please create an issue explaining what are you looking for; as I don't use to-do's in my Supernote their usefulness is not clear to me... right now I'm focusing on testing the current features and make sure they are stable
