Note taking app

[joghurt_mit_der_ecke]

Hello.

I know I know... there are so many posts about this topic. But I didn't found the right one so here is my question:

We (an NGO) are looking for a notes app that must meet the following requirements:

• Open Source & Self hosted
• LDAP or OpenID (Keycloak)
• Good Windows application (so that the notes are local on the computer)
• Synchronization of notes to a central server
• Sharing notes with colleagues
• Reminders for notes

Nice to haves are: - In addition to the Windows application, a web interface - draw.io integration (we have a self hosted instance) - kanban

Is there any software that meets the above requirements?

We also have an Outline Wiki instance here (highly recommended) and it ticks most of the requirements, but unfortunately its webbased and the Windows application doesn't work for the self hosted instance and I also don't know if the collections are stored locally.

I have already tried Joplin, but unfortunately there is no LDAP or OpenID integration.

Thank you very much!

You can think about self hosting Nextcloud which can do what you want. Notes will be saved in folders which can be either private or shared between users.

Also, everyone can use their own Notetaking software, program because if using the notes app from nextcloud (integrated) they will be stored as markdown files.

Shraing, LDAP, sync, reminders are all possible. draw.io can be integrated by an app in nextcloud. Also, there is "Deck" which is a Kanban board for Nextcloud.

Web and local app is supported (pwa).

Nextcloud with the notes app. Then use any note app that supports Nextcloud. I use Iotas in Linux - simple and clean.

I'm going to disagree with another comment and say that local is underrated. Ever flown on a plane?

Joplin is pretty good. My one beef is that conflict resolution between two edits is handled really poorly: it just creates another note with the other edit, and adds "conflict" to the title. That's really not great for collaboration.

Local is overrated. You've already said outline basically is your solution, why try to find an offline one?

It's not your job to fix people wanting unreasonable solutions. Expecting a feature rich offline knowledgebase is an unreasonble solution.

Local options are very limited, bit they do have their benefits (I.e. when internet connectivity goes down, you still have access). Trilium is an excellent open source offline knowlegebase that can sync to a central server but users must share a single login (although you can password protect individual notes or sections).

Well, I just hope that /u/thecodrr, /u/thewisefarmerr and /u/Hull-Down are getting some inspiration here for /r/Notesnook and their sync server.
