Kept for Unraid

An Unraid Community Applications template for Kept, a self-hosted notes app with a Google Keep-style feel.

The template uses the official ghcr.io/ericerkz/kept:latest image. Kept uses SQLite and needs no separate database container.

Installation

1. Search for Kept in Unraid's Apps tab and choose Install.
2. Choose the Web UI port and appdata location. The defaults are port 6767 and /mnt/user/appdata/kept.
3. Set your timezone and apply the configuration.
4. Open the container's WebUI and create the first administrator account before making the instance publicly accessible.

The default file ownership is Unraid's nobody:users (99:100). If your appdata directory uses different ownership, adjust User ID and Group ID in the advanced settings. The image prepares storage ownership during startup, then runs Kept as the configured user.

Storage and updates

The appdata directory maps to /app/data and contains the SQLite database, images, attachments, imports, and backups. Use a local appdata share or pool directory, rather than an SMB or NFS mount. Back up this directory before updating.

The latest tag follows Kept releases. Use Unraid's normal container update controls to pull a newer image and recreate the container. Keep the same appdata mapping so your library is retained.

HTTPS and mobile apps

Use a reverse proxy with HTTPS for public access, browser push notifications, and PWA features. Forward WebSocket connections at /api/realtime too. Set the optional Server URL to your public origin when using OIDC sign-in or remote MCP/OAuth.

The native iOS and Android apps connect to the same server URL. See Kept's documentation for app links and configuration options. Additional Kept environment variables can be added through Unraid's container editor.

Support and license

Report problems through Kept's GitHub issues. For template problems, include your Unraid version and container configuration with any secrets removed.
