Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/JLiscom/OpenNote/issues/145

I just hosted opennote on my homeserver using the first way in the install.md, so just extracting the latest build in a folder and opening the URL/opennote and got instantly unto the opennote screen and was able to make new notes, edit old ones etc.
The HowToUse.md indicates that the services uses a login, but I seem not be able to activate this, from what I read in the install.md it's not the File/Legacy Service Login Screen.

Am I missunderstanding something horribly or is the service meant to be usable completely without login?

Thank you in advance.

@metzbernhard ,
This is a offline HTML app. It persists data in your browsers storage.
You can sync it to a CouchDB server with a username and password.

Think of it more like MS Word rather than a traditional webpage.

I do this so you can access the app offline on your smart phone as if it was a native app.

I'm sorry but I still not understand. in the install :

Manual
MYSql

Create a MYSQL database named "OpenNote"
Download and extract OpenNote into a folder on your php web-server called "OpenNote"
Open up the Service/model/sql folder and run notebook.sql in your OpenNote database
Change the database connection settings inside of Service/Config.php to match your db settings. These are stored in the following lines of code in /OpenNote/Config.php:

$dbUserName = "notebook";
$dbPassword = "password";
$dbServer = "127.0.0.1";
$dbName = "notebook";

Now the site install is complete. You can now open the site by going to your webserver url +/OpenNote

In my case, i filled up with my mysql base, but there is no synchronization, my sql database stay empty, and I don't understand why...
Any idea, or the is something else I didn't understand?
Thanks

That part does require an install. Its in the settings for the app. The mysql based part is for file uploads.
