Where Does Blinko Store Notes Data?
Blinko self-hosted notes data on Linux, Docker volumes and SQLite paths to back up.
Last updated
Blinko runs as a self-hosted notes service, commonly under Docker with a mapped data directory and SQLite database. Uploads, tags and share state sit beside the database file.
Compose mappings decide the literal host path, so check your own compose file first. The pattern below fits default installs. Back up volume and database as a set with the service stopped.
Where Blinko stores this, by platform
/opt/blinko/data/.blinko.db
Confirm the mapping in your docker compose file, since host paths vary. Database plus uploads travel together. Stop the stack before copying.
Frequently asked questions
How do I back up self-hosted Blinko?
Stop the container and copy the mapped data volume plus the database file. That pair holds notes, uploads and tags. Restart and confirm login before pruning old copies.
Can I move Blinko to another server?
Yes. Mount the same data path and database file into the new host, keep versions matched, then start and sign in. Mismatched versions migrate unpredictably, so upgrade first.
