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:

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.

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
