Old instructions specify using the outdated syncing-server repository. The newer server written using Javascript can be found here.

As per typical webserver convention, leave this in the webroot.

$ mkdir /var/www/standardnotes
$ cd /var/www/standardnotes
$ git clone --single-branch --branch main https://github.com/standardnotes/standalone.git
$ cd standalone
$ ./server.sh setup

Run the setup script to generate the required configuration files, and add 32-byte keys (can generate them using openssl rand -hex 32) to the following secrets: AUTH_JWT_SECRET, JWT_SECRET, LEGACY_JWT_SECRET, ENCRYPTION_SERVER_KEY. Change the docker-compose.yml file from version 3.8 to 3.7 if necessary (depending on your version of docker compose). In particular, modify the following files: vim au

.env

LOG_LEVEL=info
NODE_ENV=development
...
AUTH_JWT_SECRET=c5de882116a335c6aada9b13696a16372bd3e452f91339f761373a54e43f91d8
EXPOSED_PORT=3002
...

docker/auth.env

LOG_LEVEL="info"
NODE_ENV="production"
...
JWT_SECRET=c5de8821535335c6aada9b13466a16372b2d645bf41339f761373844e43f91d8
LEGACY_JWT_SECRET=7831926372b87fdca9ea09d6b3dc17e310ac6d0c392cd6a75851a7c059327662
...
ENCRYPTION_SERVER_KEY=feffe9928665731c6d6a8f9467308308feffe9928665731c6d6a8f9467308308

Do the usual nginx configuration:

standardnotes

server {
    listen 80;
    listen [::]:80; # IPv6
    server_name sync.pyuxiang.com;

    access_log /var/log/nginx/standardnotes-access.log;
    error_log /var/log/nginx/standardnotes-error.log;

    client_max_body_size 50M;

    location / {
        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:4321;
    }
}

Finally run the server script: ./server.sh start. To teardown: ./server.sh cleanup
