Scratch - A simple scratchpad

This is my fork of the schollz/rwtxt. Original Readme

Differences

• [WIP] Cleaner codebase.
• Improved Markdown Syntax.
  • Features from Github Flavoured Markdown: Task List, Strikethrough, Linkify, Table, Emoji.
  • Footnote Support.
  • Wiki Link Support.
• Inline Syntax Highlighting.
• Uses SQLite FTS5 for Text Search.
• Removes SQL Dump. User must manually implement it using sqlite3 Command.

Installation

Scratch can directly be installed using the Go toolchain by running the following command.

go install argc.in/scratch@latest

The SQLite library mattn/go-sqlite3 supports different compilation strategies. By default, Go will try to compile the the SQLite library using the available C Compiler toolchain. On most linux systems that would be GLibC and GCC. This can be configured by build and link flags described here.

I personally prefer a statically linked binary that can be compiled using Musl and GCC. On Alpine Linux, it can be done by running the following command. On other Linux distributions, the CC variable can be configured to point to the Musl GCC binary. Also note the "-s -w" flags to strip off the symbol tables and debugging information to reduce the size.

CC=/usr/bin/x86_64-alpine-linux-musl-gcc go build --ldflags '-linkmode external -extldflags "-static" -s -w' -o scratch ./cmd/rwtxt/main.go

Alternatively, I also provide a Docker image through Github Packages with precompiled binary.

docker run -it
-v /path/to/data:/data
-p 8152:8152
ghcr.io/ankitrgadiya/scratch@master -db /data/scratch.db

Backup

SQLite provides backup API that is available through its command-line tool. This can be used to backup the database.

sqlite3 /data/scratch.db ".backup /path/to/backup.db"
