Deploy flatnotes in one click installation.
Database-less self-hosted note-taking app that stores all your notes as plain Markdown files.
What you can build with flatnotes
flatnotes is a minimalist, self-hosted note-taking application built around a single principle: your notes are plain Markdown files, nothing more. There is no database, no vendor lock-in, and no complex data structures — just text files on your server that you can read, edit, and back up with any tool. The clean interface removes distractions so you can focus on writing, organizing, and connecting ideas through wikilinks and full-text search.
Self-hosting flatnotes on your VPS means your personal thoughts, research notes, and journals stay entirely within your infrastructure — never scanned, never mined, never subject to a third-party terms-of-service change. Backups are as simple as copying a folder, and your notes remain portable forever.

Docker VPS hosting you can rely on
I'm incredibly happy with Hostinger's VPS hosting! Their uptime is consistently top-notch, keeping my site running smoothly. Whenever I've needed help, their technical support team has been quick, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful.
Everything is smooth and great with Hostinger, the AI chat bot + human chat, if AI can't resolve your question. Oh and them VPS is just fire, no ups and downs. Thank you dev team and everyone else involved. Keep it up 🚀
Finally a VPS hosting company that does it right! Well-priced. Excellent portal that respects their users' time. Seamless backups. Good support. Reliable. Feels rock-solid.
I reached out to Hostinger support after losing access to my self-hosted n8n instance, and I couldn’t be more impressed. Hostinger Agent and Mohammad from the support team were incredibly patient and thorough.
Many thanks to Carla for helping me with this N8N upgrade on my Hostinger VPS. Professional and knowledgeable, thank you again Carla.
Hostinger VPS is absolutely outstanding. It just always works. It is always fast and stable. Never down, never crashes.
The company is doing well, I am very happy with the specific services I use through them. Not as expensive as some places with really great VPS set ups and price plans.
