internal/tenant/ provides FS, a sandboxed handle for a single tenant's notes directory. Implementation strategy: - Defence in depth: every relative path is validated up front (rejects "..", absolute paths, NUL bytes, empty), then handed to os.Root (Go 1.24+) which enforces the boundary at the syscall layer using openat(2)+RESOLVE_BENEATH on Linux. This closes TOCTOU races and symlink-target swapping. - WriteFile is atomic (write to .tmp, rename in-root). Mode 0o600 on files, 0o700 on directories. Tenant root is created with 0o700 by Open(). - Errors are normalised: fs.ErrNotExist -> ErrNotFound, anything os.Root rejects as "outside" the root -> ErrInvalidPath. The HTTP layer can map cleanly to 404 / 400. Tests cover the full traversal attack surface — "../", absolute paths, mixed separators, NUL bytes, "." and "" — plus symlink escapes and cross-tenant isolation. All vectors return errors; none escape the root. Closes #10. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
librenotes
Cloud-native, multi-tenant notes application. A fork of Notesium extended with authentication, per-user data isolation, sync, and PWA support so it can run as a hosted service at librenot.es.
Features
- Markdown notes with bi-directional links (Zettelkasten / evergreen notes)
- Embedded web app — no Electron, no Node runtime, single static binary
- Multi-tenant backend with magic-link authentication (in development)
- Offline-capable PWA with background sync (planned, Phase 4)
Build
Requires Go 1.20 or later.
go build ./cmd/librenotes
This produces a librenotes binary in the current directory. The web
frontend and shell completion are embedded into the binary at compile
time, so no extra files are needed at runtime.
A Makefile with build, test, run, and clean targets is provided
for convenience:
make build
make test
Run
./librenotes web --notes-dir ~/notes
See ./librenotes help for the full command list.
Development setup
A Nix flake provides a reproducible development environment with Go,
build tools, and the project CLIs. Use the plain dev shell for a
non-sandboxed Go toolchain:
nix develop .#dev
Alternatively, build a Docker-based dev environment:
docker build -f Dockerfile.dev -t librenotes-dev .
docker run --rm -it -v "$PWD:/workspace" librenotes-dev
The repository layout follows the standard Go project structure:
cmd/librenotes/ Binary entry point
internal/notesium/ Core notes package (forked from Notesium)
internal/notesium/web/ Embedded frontend assets
The Go module path is git.librete.ch/public/librenotes.
