CodiMD

CodiMD lets you create real-time collaborative markdown notes. You can test-drive
it by visiting our [CodiMD demo server][codimd-demo].

It is inspired by Hackpad, Etherpad and similar collaborative editors. This
project originated with the team at [HackMD](https://hackmd.io) and now forked
into its own organisation. [A longer writeup can be read in the history doc](docs/history.md).

## Community and Contributions

We welcome contributions! There's a lot to do: If you would like to report bugs,
the [issue tracker][github-issue-tracker] is the right place. If you can help
translating, find us on [POEditor][poeditor-url]. To get started developing,
take a look at the [docs/dev](docs/dev) directory. In any case: come talk to us,
we'll be delighted to help you with the first steps.

To stay up to date with our work or get support it's recommended to join our
[Matrix channel][matrix.org-url], stop by our [community forums][codimd-community]
or subscribe to the [release feed][github-release-feed]. We also engage in
regular [community calls][codimd-community-calls] ([RSS](https://community.codimd.org/t/codimd-community-call/19.rss)) which you are very welcome to join.


## Installation / Upgrading

You can run CodiMD in a number of ways, and we created setup instructions for
all of these:

* [Docker](docs/setup/docker.md)
* [Kubernetes](docs/setup/kubernetes.md)
* [Cloudron](docs/setup/cloudron.md)
* [LinuxServer.io (multi-arch docker)](docs/setup/docker-linuxserver.md)
* [Heroku](docs/setup/heroku.md)
* [Manual setup](docs/setup/manual-setup.md)

If you do not wish to run your own setup, you can find a commercial offering at
https://hackmd.io. This is not the same codebase as this one, but it is a very
similar project.


## Configuration

Theres two main ways to configure your CodiMD instance:
[Config file](docs/configuration-config-file.md) or
[environment variables](docs/configuration-env-vars.md). You can choose what
works best for you.

CodiMD can integrate with

* facebook, twitter, github, gitlab, mattermost, dropbox, google, ldap, saml and [oauth2](docs/guides/auth/oauth.md) **for login**
* imgur, s3, minio, azure **for image/attachment storage** (files can also be local!)
* dropbox **for export and import**

More info about that can be found in the configuration docs above.
