I built a self-hosted second brain where Markdown is the database

说明与用途

NervaBrain 是一个自托管的第二大脑，使用纯 Markdown 文件作为数据库。它在 Docker Compose 中运行，支持笔记、任务、项目、回顾以及可选的 AI 集成，同时保持数据可移植性。

问题

Need a single, portable place for notes, tasks, projects, and personal context without relying on proprietary databases.

结果

NervaBrain provides a portable, Markdown-first second brain that remains usable even if the application is removed, with optional AI features and web-based workflows.

工作流

• Create a plain Markdown vault folder
• Run NervaBrain via Docker Compose
• Use web interface to add notes, tasks, projects, and goals
• Perform daily briefs and weekly reviews through the UI
• Optionally enable Claude/Codex for AI assistance
• Access vault files directly with Obsidian or Git for editing

证据

I built NervaBrain, an open-source, self-hosted second brain built around a plain Markdown vault.

The main design constraint was portability: if NervaBrain disappears tomorrow, your data is still just a folder of readable Markdown files.
