feat: add preliminar Windows support (#1636)
Add preliminar Windows support for both development and production environments. Default profile.Data will be set to "C:\ProgramData\memos" on Windows. Folder will be created if it does not exist, as this behavior is expected for Windows applications. System service installation can be achieved with third-party tools, explained in docs/windows-service.md. Not sure if it's worth using https://github.com/kardianos/service to make service support built-in. This could be a nice addition alongside #1583 (add Windows artifacts)pull/1644/head

# Development
|
||||
|
||||
Memos is built with a curated tech stack. It is optimized for developer experience and is very easy to start working on the code:
|
||||
|
||||
1. It has no external dependency.
|
||||
2. It requires zero config.
|
||||
3. 1 command to start backend and 1 command to start frontend, both with live reload support.
|
||||
|
||||
## Tech Stack
|
||||
|
||||
| Frontend | Backend |
|
||||
| ---------------------------------------- | --------------------------------- |
|
||||
| [React](https://react.dev/) | [Go](https://go.dev/) |
|
||||
| [Tailwind CSS](https://tailwindcss.com/) | [SQLite](https://www.sqlite.org/) |
|
||||
| [Vite](https://vitejs.dev/) | |
|
||||
| [pnpm](https://pnpm.io/) | |
|
||||
|
||||
## Prerequisites
|
||||
|
||||
- [Go](https://golang.org/doc/install)
|
||||
- [Air](https://github.com/cosmtrek/air#installation) for backend live reload
|
||||
- [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/)
|
||||
- [pnpm](https://pnpm.io/installation)
|
||||
|
||||
## Steps
|
||||
|
||||
(Using PowerShell)
|
||||
|
||||
1. pull source code
|
||||
|
||||
```powershell
|
||||
git clone https://github.com/usememos/memos
|
||||
# or
|
||||
gh repo clone usememos/memos
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
2. cd into the project root directory
|
||||
|
||||
```powershell
|
||||
cd memos
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
3. start backend using air (with live reload)
|
||||
|
||||
```powershell
|
||||
air -c .\scripts\.air-windows.toml
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
4. start frontend dev server
|
||||
|
||||
```powershell
|
||||
cd web; pnpm i; pnpm dev
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Memos should now be running at [http://localhost:3001](http://localhost:3001) and changing either frontend or backend code would trigger live reload.
|
||||
|
||||
## Building
|
||||
|
||||
Frontend must be built before backend. The built frontend must be placed in the backend ./server/dist directory. Otherwise, you will get a "No frontend embeded" error.
|
||||
|
||||
### Frontend
|
||||
|
||||
```powershell
|
||||
Move-Item "./server/dist" "./server/dist.bak"
|
||||
cd web; pnpm i --frozen-lockfile; pnpm build; cd ..;
|
||||
Move-Item "./web/dist" "./server/" -Force
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Backend
|
||||
|
||||
```powershell
|
||||
go build -o ./build/memos.exe ./main.go
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## ❕ Notes
|
||||
|
||||
- Start development servers easier by running the provided `start.ps1` script.
|
||||
This will start both backend and frontend in detached PowerShell windows:
|
||||
|
||||
```powershell
|
||||
.\scripts\start.ps1
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
- Produce a local build easier using the provided `build.ps1` script to build both frontend and backend:
|
||||
|
||||
```powershell
|
||||
.\scripts\build.ps1
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This will produce a memos.exe file in the ./build directory.

# Installing memos as a service on Windows
|
||||
|
||||
While memos first-class support is for Docker, you may also install memos as a Windows service. It will run under SYSTEM account and start automatically at system boot.
|
||||
|
||||
❗ All service management methods requires admin privileges. Use [gsudo](https://gerardog.github.io/gsudo/docs/install), or open a new PowerShell terminal as admin:
|
||||
|
||||
```powershell
|
||||
Start-Process powershell -Verb RunAs
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Choose one of the following methods
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Using [NSSM](https://nssm.cc/download)
|
||||
|
||||
NSSM is a lightweight service wrapper.
|
||||
|
||||
You may put `nssm.exe` in the same directory as `memos.exe`, or add its directory to your system PATH. Prefer the latest 64-bit version of `nssm.exe`.
|
||||
|
||||
```powershell
|
||||
# Install memos as a service
|
||||
nssm install memos "C:\path\to\memos.exe" --mode prod --port 5230
|
||||
|
||||
# Delay auto start
|
||||
nssm set memos DisplayName "memos service"
|
||||
|
||||
# Configure extra service parameters
|
||||
nssm set memos Description "A lightweight, self-hosted memo hub. https://usememos.com/"
|
||||
|
||||
# Delay auto start
|
||||
nssm set memos Start SERVICE_DELAYED_AUTO_START
|
||||
|
||||
# Edit service using NSSM GUI
|
||||
nssm edit memos
|
||||
|
||||
# Start the service
|
||||
nssm start memos
|
||||
|
||||
# Remove the service, if ever needed
|
||||
nssm remove memos confirm
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Using [WinSW](https://github.com/winsw/winsw)
|
||||
|
||||
Find the latest release tag and download the asset `WinSW-net46x.exe`. Then, put it in the same directory as `memos.exe` and rename it to `memos-service.exe`.
|
||||
|
||||
Now, in the same directory, create the service configuration file `memos-service.xml`:
|
||||
|
||||
```xml
|
||||
<service>
|
||||
<id>memos</id>
|
||||
<name>memos service</name>
|
||||
<description>A lightweight, self-hosted memo hub. https://usememos.com/</description>
|
||||
<onfailure action="restart" delay="10 sec"/>
|
||||
<executable>%BASE%\memos.exe</executable>
|
||||
<arguments>--mode prod --port 5230</arguments>
|
||||
<delayedAutoStart>true</delayedAutoStart>
|
||||
<log mode="none" />
|
||||
</service>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Then, install the service:
|
||||
|
||||
```powershell
|
||||
# Install the service
|
||||
.\memos-service.exe install
|
||||
|
||||
# Start the service
|
||||
.\memos-service.exe start
|
||||
|
||||
# Remove the service, if ever needed
|
||||
.\memos-service.exe uninstall
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Manage the service
|
||||
|
||||
You may use the `net` command to manage the service:
|
||||
|
||||
```powershell
|
||||
net start memos
|
||||
net stop memos
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Also, by using one of the provided methods, the service will appear in the Windows Services Manager `services.msc`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Notes
|
||||
|
||||
- On Windows, memos store its data in the following directory:
|
||||
|
||||
```powershell
|
||||
$env:ProgramData\memos
|
||||
# Typically, this will resolve to C:\ProgramData\memos
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
You may specify a custom directory by appending `--data <path>` to the service command line.
|
||||
|
||||
- If the service fails to start, you should inspect the Windows Event Viewer `eventvwr.msc`.
|
||||
|
||||
- Memos will be accessible at [http://localhost:5230](http://localhost:5230) by default.
