or do you think that can't make a difference
and shows an error message from my domain/VPS provider on url.com. would that point to an issue on their side?
apologies for asking this many questions here - if there's more documentation about this stuff I'd love to read it
ok I guess the HTTPS setup is needed - I thought it was only recommended https://hackmd.io/c/codimd-documentation/%2F%40codimd%2FByDxZQgBL
Hi there. Quick question. When I am opening a new firefox window to my self hosted CodiMD instance and want to edit a page it kind of takes about 15s until the top right button says "1 online", it wiggles back and forth between "offline" and "connected" until it finally says "1 online". The editor won't allow any edits until it is done with the process.
How can I debug / fix this? ;-)
Hi there, I'm using a self-hosted, anonymous-login CodiMD instance for some prototyping, and I noticed that sometimes the toolbar with all formatting/uploading buttons is not shown. Sometimes = when I edit a note that I had injected via the
/new (unofficial) API. CodiMD from docker.io/linuxserver/codimd:latest. Any clue why? Shall I jump on a more recent build?
(Just to note that I had tried to use
nabo.codimd.dev/hackmdio/hackmd, but it requires authentication. Maybe worth updating the page at https://hackmd.io/c/codimd-documentation/%2Fs%2Fcodimd-docker-deployment - which otherwise works perfectly :)
@jackycute Hi Max, I am not sure how I can determine the version # that I am running. I got it from github. Is there a file that I can check that has the version # encoded? I am running this on Debian server and access it from Firefox under Ubuntu with Firefox being up to date.
@florihupf Could you pull and use the docker image instead? If you just want to use stable version, that's the best option. See the docs here: https://hackmd.io/c/codimd-documentation/%2Fs%2Fcodimd-docker-deployment
BTW, you can check the version in
BTW, you can check the version in
package.json but it can be changed anyways.
@glpatcern Hi, I don't think
nabo.codimd.dev/hackmdio/hackmd:2.0.1would require any authentication.
Thanks @jackycute, that's right: my docker (on CentOS) was too old, jumped to a newer one and I could fetch the 2.0.1 image. And here everything works as it should, so all right.

If I set
CMD_ALLOW_ANONYMOUS_EDITS to true, it appears that I automatically get anonymous guest notes as well. Since I'd prefer not to host a cesspool of undesirable copypasta from strangers, I'd like anonymous edits to only be possible on documents that a signed-in user has created previously (but not allow strangers to create new notes). Is this possible? I'm happy to file a feature request if appropriate. (For now, I've hacked the "New guest note" out of the UI on the front page, but that's a weak protection at best...)

hey, i'm running a server built from
49de5f5bd6239354d98b424804951974588ab25e and the scrolling functionality in the editor seems to have regressed? In whatever version is running on hackmd.io you can scroll the editor down until the last line is at the top of the editor, in 49de5f5bd6239354d98b424804951974588ab25e you can only scroll down until the last line is at the bottom. Disclaimer, I might be missing a config or something, just set it up. Just wanted to know if anyone was aware if this is a common problem or I'm just being the big dumb.

I want to try out CodiMD using the Docker deployment method, but I'm running into issues. Running docker-compose up using exactly the same docker-compose.yml as in https://github.com/hackmdio/codimd/blob/89a0de420563078140bec384d6e6d5051357a1d6/deployments/docker-compose.yml (current master) makes the CodiMD image exit repeatedly (truncated docker-compose up output):

I'm trying to configure an instance of codimd at heroku to use oauth2 against my own provider. I'm not allowing anonymous edits. I've got it to the point that login is successful, but when I create a new note, I get a crash:

2020-06-15T14:58:08.622980+00:00 app[web.1]: at showNote (/app/lib/note/index.js:65:18)This corresponds to the code in note/index.js:
async function createNote (userId, noteAlias) {
if (!config.allowAnonymous && !userId) {
throw new Error('can not create note')
}So, why after a successful login, is userId not set? What else do I need to change in the config?
If there's a better place to ask this, please let me know.
yes, by deploying a more recent version of the repository (previous was ~20 Apr, updated was ~17 Jun). I haven't found the code that changed (I expected the update to be a first step towards diagnosis, not the fix), but clearly something relevant must have. In any case, I've got what I needed to work working now. Thanks for following up. (On the off-hand chance it matters, the original deployment was one-click to heroku. I did the update with the heroku command-line client, pushing the updated repo).
i have some ideas for a pipeline, but was wondering if anyone might have built something of sorts
just found this https://github.com/codimd/server/blob/master/docs/history.md
can anyone shed some light on this?

Hello. Recently reinstalled CodiMD docker (I think I was on 1.4 before) and having some problems with https — css, js and images are trying to load over http, resulting in mixed content errors. I've got nginx with all the usual proxy headers as described in docs. I've set CMD_DOMAIN and (just in case) CMD_ALLOW_ORIGIN. What might be the cause?
Is there a way to escape out of typographic characters https://hackmd.io/s/features#Typographic-Replacements - my document has (R) and (P) as exact text, and it's being rendered as registered trademark for example when it shouldn't be - \ doesn't appear to be working to escape me from these.
