Status
The app is quite stable now. Basic stuff, as well as more advanced operations, should be rather reliable.

Self-hosting
Everything you need to host this app on your server is any static file server. The app is a single HTML file + a service worker (optionally; for offline access). You can download the latest distribution files from gh-pages branch.
If you are using Docker:
- put your dh.pem, cert.pem, key.pem to /etc/nginx/external/
- run this script:
bash docker run --name keeweb -d -p 443:443 -p 80:80 -v $EXT_DIR:/etc/nginx/external/ antelle/keeweb

Building
The easiest way to clone all KeeWeb repos is:
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/keeweb/keeweb/develop/dev-env.sh | bash -
The app can be built with grunt: grunt
(html files will be in dist/
).
Desktop apps are built with grunt desktop
. This requires some magic and currently works only on CI,
you can find more details in [the GitHub Actions workflow](.github/workflows/build.yaml).
To run the desktop (electron) app without building an installer, build the app with grunt
and start it this way:
npm run dev
npm run electron
For debug build:
- run
npm run dev
- open
http://localhost:8085
To build desktop apps, use these goals, the result can be found in tmp
:
npm run dev-desktop-macos
npm run dev-desktop-windows
npm run dev-desktop-linux
