What plumio actually does
Plumio is a self-hosted note-taking application built around Markdown editing. It provides a live preview feature alongside built-in document encryption and support for multiple users and organisations.
Best fit: It suits small teams or individual users who want to host their own encrypted Markdown documentation workspace with user segmentation.
Worth knowing: With a modest repository size and community backing, it carries a higher maintenance risk and overlaps heavily with more mature note-taking tools.
Deployment notes
Because it runs on Node.js and Docker, you will typically need to configure persistent volumes for your stored data and place it behind a reverse proxy to handle TLS termination.
