Use Better-PaaS to deploy Memos with Docker containers, persistent storage, custom domains, automatic HTTPS, logs, and backups.

Overview

Memos is useful for privacy-first notes. Better-PaaS gives it a practical home on your own server with a one-click app workflow, domain routing, HTTPS, logs, and persistent storage habits.

Catalog image and ports

Better-PaaS deploys Memos from neosmemo/memos:stable on container port 5230 with health checks against /.

  • Image: neosmemo/memos:stable
  • Port: 5230
  • Volumes: /var/opt/memos

Why host Memos with Better-PaaS

Better-PaaS is designed for apps like Memos: small services that need reliable routing, a domain, persistent data, and quick redeploys without manually editing reverse proxy files.

Deployment checklist

Before going live, decide the domain, persistent volume, backup cadence, and any environment variables Memos needs. For Memos, pay special attention to small personal knowledge bases with persistent storage.

  • Choose the app catalog template or Docker image
  • Add required environment variables
  • Attach a persistent volume if data must survive redeploys
  • Deploy and inspect logs
  • Add a custom domain after the app is healthy

Operations after launch

Watch logs during the first deploy, confirm storage survives a redeploy, and include the app data in server backups. If the service exposes an admin area, use a strong password and restrict access where appropriate.

FAQ

Can Memos run with automatic HTTPS?

Yes. Add a domain in Better-PaaS after DNS points to the server and Caddy can issue a certificate.

Does Memos need persistent storage?

Most productivity apps need some persistent storage or database plan. Treat app data and config as something to back up.
