Setting up siyuan with docker and exposing it with cloudflare

This post was last updated for 195 days ago, and the information may already be changed

Hi all!

I'm new to everything siyuan and docker related and struggling to understand how to set it up so my workspace can be accessible from any computer browser with any network. I've tried the docker image for siyuan but keep running into the issue of permission denied when trying to run the container. If someone can help me step by step, or even images or a quick video would be extremely helpful. My OS is windows 10 Home (or 11 if need a more recent one)

Thank you in advance! ☺️☺️❤️

Edit: change title regarding vpn to cloudflare. I read that cloudflare would be a much easier way to expose the container rather than using a vpn, if anyone has advice or tips - please feel free to share

      Thanks for your help!

      It turns out I've made a very stupid mistake from the beginning by trying to run the commands via powershell not knowing they were actually linux 🤦🏻‍♀️. I've installed Ubuntu and did the whole process again and it runs beautifully now. Only issue is that I'm trying to expose it to other networks securely but it might turn out my little surface go isn't powerful enough for that so I'll have to wait until my new laptop comes. Thanks again!

      If I understand correctly your scenario, you might find it much easier to just enable the option "Network Serving" from within SiYuan, under "Settings" -> "About".

      NOTE: Please remember to set a strong password under "Settings" -> "About" -> "Access authorization code".

      That will make your SiYuan instance accessible from a web browser in the IP address of your Surface, no need to run a VM with Ubuntu or deploy a container.

      The docker container is much more suitable for people that already have a setup at home running docker, probably a dedicated "home server", this makes it very easy for them to just add another container to their existing infrastructure.

      Nevermind... I just found out I did not assign the default folder to uid and gid 1000, which in my case was the default ubuntu user... It works!
