Sync your notes through your own Joplin Server: one-click setup, full root access, daily Backup and locations in Europe & America.
American ExpressWhat is Joplin Server?
Write a note on your laptop and find it on your phone a minute later, share a notebook with a friend or publish a single note as a web page. Joplin Server is the sync backend behind the Joplin desktop and mobile apps that makes this work. On your own VPS, notebooks and attachments stay on a server you control, and the one-click app installer deploys it through Coolify with no Docker Compose file to maintain.
Full root access means the setup is yours to shape: put Joplin Server behind your own domain and reverse proxy, inspect the database or copy data off with rsync over SSH. Turn on end-to-end encryption in the Joplin apps and the server only stores encrypted notes. You decide who gets an account and when updates roll out, and other self-hosted tools can run on the same VPS right next to it.

Joplin features
Cross-device sync, full-text search with OCR and the Web Clipper, all running through your own Joplin Server instead of someone else's cloud.
Save web pages with the Web Clipper or import Evernote and Markdown exports into Joplin.
Start a note on your desktop and keep editing it on your phone moments later.
Full-text search across all your notebooks brings up the right note while you type.
Text inside scanned PDFs and images becomes searchable once OCR is on in the desktop app.
PDFs, images and files sync alongside each note, so nothing stays behind on one device.
Only accounts you create can sync, and end-to-end encryption keeps note content private.

FAQ
Answers to the most important questions before you start.
Choose a VPS package and open the app catalog in your panel. Joplin Server is installed with one click and deployed through Coolify. Then open the server URL, log in with the default admin account and change its email and password right away. After that you create user accounts and connect your Joplin apps.

Joplin VPS hosting at ZAP-Hosting runs your own Joplin Server on a VPS with one-click app setup, full root access and a daily automatic Backup included. You pay a fixed price for the VPS per term instead of usage-based billing; the current packages and prices are shown in the pricing section. You can cancel anytime, and the cancellation takes effect at the end of the current term.
Joplin Cloud is the official hosted sync service run by the Joplin team, so you don't manage a server. With Joplin Server on your own VPS, you run the sync backend yourself: you pick the server location, storage depends on your disk size, and root access lets you add your own domain, proxy and tools. Updates and settings are in your hands.
Pick a package by how many people sync and how much attachment data you keep: text notes need little space, while PDFs, images and scans grow your storage over time. If several people sync at once or other self-hosted apps share the VPS, choose more RAM and CPU. Each package lists its RAM, CPU and storage in the pricing section.
Open the synchronization settings in each Joplin app, choose Joplin Server as the sync target and enter your server URL plus the email and password of your user account. Run a first sync, then enable end-to-end encryption so your notes are encrypted before they leave your devices. Read the Joplin Server guide
Yes. Point an A record of your domain or subdomain to your VPS IP, then set that domain as the Joplin Server URL in Coolify. With full root access you can add a TLS certificate through Coolify's proxy or your own reverse proxy, so your apps sync over HTTPS. Make sure the base URL matches the address your apps use. How DNS records work
Yes. Every VPS gets a daily automatic Backup at a fixed time set by the platform, included even without ZapX Pass. With ZapX Pass you can view and restore these daily Backups, create your own manual Backups and snapshots, keep daily Backups longer depending on your tier, and manage your Backup slots and storage limit. Your Joplin apps also keep a full local copy of your notes.
Yes. Each Joplin app keeps a full local copy of your notes, so you can switch without a migration tool. Export a JEX Backup first, then change the sync target on one device to your Joplin Server and run a full sync. Once everything is uploaded, point your other devices to the same server. The same works if you sync via WebDAV today.
Joplin Server supports multiple user accounts and shared notebooks, so several people can work on the same notes. Joplin's license terms distinguish between personal use and use within an organization, for which the Joplin team offers Joplin Server Business. Check Joplin's current license terms before you roll it out in a company.
You choose from locations in Europe and America when you order your VPS. Pick the one closest to where you and your devices usually sync for the quickest response; many North American users start with Ashburn, Dallas or Los Angeles. Every location offers the same one-click Joplin Server setup.
