# notes Turn a [Notion](https://notion.so) database into a static site. This project powers [notes.jordanscales.com](https://notes.jordanscales.com). <img width="1381" alt="a desktop with notion open on the left and a rendered notion page using this library on the right" src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/287268/144431224-ac4673ba-e432-47d7-94c5-c82ecbadb986.png"> ## Usage This project is designed for trusted content from a private Notion database. Its HTML escaping has not been audited for untrusted input. 1. [Create a new Notion integration](https://developers.notion.com/docs/getting-started#step-1-create-an-integration) 1. Create a database and note its ID from the address bar: - `https://www.notion.so/[username]/[your database ID, copy this!]?v=[ignore this]` - Add a column called `Filename` to set each page's output filename. One page must use `index.html`. 1. [Share that database with your new integration](https://developers.notion.com/docs/getting-started#step-2-share-a-database-with-your-integration) 1. Build and serve the site: ```sh git clone https://github.com/jdan/notes.git cd notes npm install NOTION_SECRET=[your token here] NOTION_DATABASE_ID=[your id here] TWITTER_HANDLE=yourHandle npm run build BUILD=build npm run serve # http://localhost:3000 ``` The generated HTML and assets are written to `build/` by default. ## Configuration Configuration is provided via environment variables, a [`.env` file, or a config file in the `.env` format](https://github.com/motdotla/dotenv#what-rules-does-the-parsing-engine-follow). To specify a config file, set the `CONFIG=path/to/your/file.env` env var. Here's an example: ```shell # recipes.env TWITTER_HANDLE=jitl OG_IMAGE=https://jake.tl/images/jake-pleasant.jpg BASE_URL=/recipes NOTION_SECRET=secret_XXXXXXX NOTION_DATABASE_ID=a3aa29a6b2f242d1b4cf86fb578a5eea ``` Then to use the config, run: ```shell CONFIG=./recipes.env npm run build ``` | Variable | Required | Default | Purpose | | -------------------- | ---------- | ---------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------- | | `NOTION_SECRET` | Yes | โ | Notion integration token | | `NOTION_DATABASE_ID` | Yes | โ | Source Notion database | | `TWITTER_HANDLE` | No | `jdan` | Handle used in social metadata | | `OG_IMAGE` | No | `https://notes.jordanscales.com/me.jpeg` | Default social image | | `BASE_URL` | No | `/` | URL path prefix for generated links | | `BUILD` | No | `build/` | Generated-site output directory | | `SQLITE_DB_FILE` | No | `db.sqlite3` | Local Notion page cache | | `CONFIG` | No | `.env` | Alternate dotenv-compatible configuration | | `HOST` | No | `127.0.0.1` | Static/webhook server host | | `PORT` | No | `3000` | Static/webhook server port | | `WEBHOOK_SECRET` | Production | โ | Secret required by the Notion webhook | ## Development ```sh npm install npm run lint npm run typecheck npm test ``` Build with `npm run build`. For refactors that should not alter generated pages, use `npm run build:compare-fresh` to compare a fresh build with the current deployment output without modifying `build/`. ## Notes deployment The notes deployment has two roles: 1. Hetzner runs this app as a Docker container behind the existing `kamal-proxy`. It receives the protected Notion webhook, runs builds, and keeps a local generated copy in `/opt/notes/site`. 2. Cloudflare Pages serves the public static site at the edge. After a successful webhook build, the Hetzner container deploys `/opt/notes/site` to Cloudflare Pages when Cloudflare env vars are configured. Runtime state on Hetzner: ```shell /opt/notes/.env # NOTION_* config and WEBHOOK_SECRET /opt/notes/site # generated static site /opt/notes/data # sqlite cache ``` The Notion button should request the Hetzner webhook hostname, not the public Cloudflare Pages hostname: ```text https://<webhook-host>/webhook/notion?secret=<WEBHOOK_SECRET> ``` The server also accepts the secret in an `x-webhook-secret` header. Unauthenticated webhook calls return `401`. Recommended hostnames: ```text notes.jordanscales.com # public site, points to Cloudflare Pages hooks.jordanscales.com # webhook server, points to Hetzner ``` ### Architecture overview ```mermaid flowchart TD Notion["Notion Publish button"] -->|"GET /webhook/notion?secret=..."| HooksDNS["hooks.jordanscales.com DNS"] HooksDNS --> Hetzner["Hetzner server"] Hetzner --> Proxy["kamal-proxy"] Proxy --> Container["notes Docker container"] Container --> Auth["server.ts validates WEBHOOK_SECRET"] Auth --> Build["tsx index.ts builds from Notion"] Build --> Cache["SQLite cache /data/db.sqlite3"] Build --> Site["generated static site /app/site"] Site --> Wrangler["wrangler pages deploy /app/site"] Wrangler --> Pages["Cloudflare Pages project: notes"] Pages --> Edge["Cloudflare edge"] Reader["Reader browser"] -->|"https://notes.jordanscales.com"| NotesDNS["notes.jordanscales.com DNS"] NotesDNS --> Edge Edge --> Reader ``` When you click Publish, Notion requests `https://hooks.jordanscales.com/webhook/notion?secret=<WEBHOOK_SECRET>`. That hostname points to the Hetzner server, where `kamal-proxy` terminates and routes the request to the `notes` Docker container. `server.ts` authenticates the request using either the `secret` query parameter or the `x-webhook-secret` header. Invalid requests return `401`; valid requests start a build and immediately return a JSON response indicating that the build has started. The container runs the normal build entrypoint, `tsx index.ts`. The build reads Notion using `NOTION_SECRET` and `NOTION_DATABASE_ID`, uses the SQLite cache at `/data/db.sqlite3`, and writes static HTML and assets into `/app/site`. On the Hetzner host, that directory is backed by `/opt/notes/site`. After the build succeeds, `server.ts` deploys `/app/site` to Cloudflare Pages with Wrangler when `CLOUDFLARE_PAGES_PROJECT_NAME` is configured. Wrangler uses the Cloudflare values in `/opt/notes/.env`, including `CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN`, `CLOUDFLARE_ACCOUNT_ID`, `CLOUDFLARE_PAGES_PROJECT_NAME`, and `CLOUDFLARE_PAGES_BRANCH`. Cloudflare creates a new Pages deployment for the `notes` project. Since deployments use branch `main`, Cloudflare treats the deployment as production and serves it through the custom domain `notes.jordanscales.com`. Readers visiting `https://notes.jordanscales.com/` hit Cloudflare Pages, not Hetzner. The Hetzner container still keeps and can serve a local generated copy as a fallback, but the intended public browsing path is Cloudflare edge. ### Cloudflare Pages setup Install dependencies locally if needed: ```shell npm install ``` Log in with Wrangler and create the Pages project once: ```shell npx wrangler login npx wrangler pages project create notes --production-branch main ``` If the project already exists, skip the create command. The project name can be anything, but it must match `CLOUDFLARE_PAGES_PROJECT_NAME` below. Create a Cloudflare API token for Hetzner. It needs permission to deploy Pages for the account. Use the narrowest token Cloudflare allows for Pages deployments; if account selection is ambiguous, also set `CLOUDFLARE_ACCOUNT_ID`. Add these values to `/opt/notes/.env` on Hetzner: ```shell CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN=<cloudflare-api-token> CLOUDFLARE_ACCOUNT_ID=<cloudflare-account-id> # optional unless Wrangler needs it CLOUDFLARE_PAGES_PROJECT_NAME=notes CLOUDFLARE_PAGES_BRANCH=main ``` Manual deploy from an already-built local `build/` directory: ```shell CLOUDFLARE_PAGES_PROJECT_NAME=notes npm run deploy:cloudflare ``` Manual deploy from Hetzner's generated site directory: ```shell ssh hetzner 'docker exec notes npx wrangler pages deploy /app/site --project-name notes --branch main' ``` ### DNS cutover 1. Add `notes.jordanscales.com` as a custom domain on the Cloudflare Pages project. 2. Point `notes.jordanscales.com` DNS to Cloudflare Pages using Cloudflare's generated target. 3. Point a separate hostname, for example `hooks.jordanscales.com`, to the Hetzner server. 4. Deploy the Hetzner service with `NOTES_WEBHOOK_HOST=hooks.jordanscales.com npm run deploy:notes`. 5. Update the Notion webhook/button URL to `https://hooks.jordanscales.com/webhook/notion?secret=<WEBHOOK_SECRET>`. The Hetzner container still serves static files as a fallback, but readers should hit Cloudflare Pages after DNS cutover. Useful checks: ```shell curl -I https://notes.jordanscales.com/ curl https://hooks.jordanscales.com/healthz ssh hetzner 'docker logs --tail 100 notes' ssh hetzner 'docker exec kamal-proxy kamal-proxy list' ``` To deploy source changes to the running `notes` service: ```shell npm run deploy:notes ``` The deploy script syncs source to `/opt/notes`, preserves remote `.env`, rebuilds the Docker image, restarts the `notes` container, and re-registers the route with `kamal-proxy`. It excludes the local, gitignored `build/` directory. Set `NOTES_WEBHOOK_HOST` when deploying if the Hetzner route should use a hostname other than `notes.jordanscales.com`.
