MemosDocumentation
Official Memos documentation — install and self-host with Docker, configure storage and authentication, use the API, and master daily Markdown note-taking.
Memos is a self-hosted note-taking and knowledge base system built around plain-text Markdown, flexible visibility controls, and lightweight deployment. Start with the quickstart, then move into deployment, configuration, and daily use.
The usage and configuration guides include changes introduced in 0.31.0-rc.1. This is a release candidate; stable installation examples continue to use the stable image. Read the 0.31 upgrade notes before testing the candidate. The API reference provides separate version selections.
