2.0 Development Notes

This document collects notes and decisions taken during the development of HedgeDoc 2.0. It should be converted to a properly structured documentation, but having unstructured docs is better than having no docs.

Supported databases

We intend to officially support and test these databases:

• SQLite (for development and smaller instances)
• PostgreSQL
• MariaDB

Special Groups

The software provides two special groups which have no explicit users:

• everyone (Describing that everyone who wants to access a note can do if it is enabled in the config.)
• loggedIn (Describing all users which are logged in)

Dev Setup

• Clone backend and frontend in two folders.
• Run yarn install in both projects
• Start the backend server in watch mode using yarn start:dev. The backend is then accessible on port 3000.
• Start the frontend dev server using yarn start. The frontend is now accessible on port 3001.
