Notes / Gotchas

  • neosmemo/memos:stable tracks the stable release tag. Upgrading the image will migrate the SQLite database automatically on first startup.
  • There is no Authentik integration on this service — Memos manages its own accounts internally.
  • Memos supports public content sharing via short links; ensure private memos are set to private if personal content is being stored.
